When hobbies collide…
Posted on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 1:16 am by Jeff HoyThe new PlayStation 3 “Montage” commercial has been on TV for a couple of weeks now, but it was only just yesterday that I noticed some (very) subtle product placement for a big name in the R/C hobby.
Take a look to the left of VP of Epic Footage, Kevin Butler. I’ve circled it in red so you can’t miss it.
That to me looks like the HPI Racing E10 Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II designed by Gran Turismo.
Awesome car.
It doesn’t really mean much, the car is just a cool prop in the background, but still, a pretty neat find for those in the know. Check out the HD video on YouTube.
p.s. Kevin Butler is F’in Metal.
