That was reported to be a film session to make a commercial for an upcoming Xbox driving game.

David Siry confirmed those are "scripted" racing events for comercials for a new MS game Project Gotham Racing that will feature The Roadster.

WarpedOne... You seemed to have jumbled the names of the main PR/Marketing guys.

• David Vespremi (Communications Director)

• Darryl Siry (VP Marketing)

True. It was Darryl Siry here: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/07/20/video-project-gotham-racing-4-to-feature-the-tesla-roadster/

13. I wasn't there but the drivers are actually following a script and intentionally oversteering. The Corvette always loses control because that is what they want it to do. As an owner of a 73 Corvette, I can tell you it ain't hard to do so you don't need a professional driver for that. As a relatively frequent driver of the Tesla, I can tell you it handles incredibly well, and is not compromised in any way by the battery placement.

I saw the finished video ....

I saw Stardust over the weekend and there was an ad for PGR before the movie started - it is not obvious in the final video that the red car is a Tesla, but it is a cool ad.
