The port of Nice has been the scene of thrilling classic Formula 1 tests, offering a spectacular view of the motorsport world in the filming of the prequel to _Ocean’s_ starring Bradley Cooper. This transformation of the port has been designed to recreate a European-style urban circuit from the 1960s.
The captured images demonstrate how this film production is emphasizing the representation of motorsport. A Nissan GT-R camera vehicle, equipped with a crane, has recorded parallel passes to the water, while several classic competition cars tackled the course lined with contemporary port furniture and temporary production structures.
Among the vehicles, a dark red car with a white stripe stands out, followed by a Brabham F1, which impresses with its speed. The images showcase the authenticity of the circuit, with prestigious brands like Martini, BP, and Shell visible on the vehicles.
An Authentic Circuit
One of the highlights of the shoot has been the famous tight corner, where the cars are working hard to surpass their rival next to the water, escaping under the pressure from competitors.
