    That U9 is a good example of the slightly bland, forgettable supercar design that's around, and the current Ferraris are not that at least. Usually they're very beautiful, the 849 isn't my favourite of recent ones.

    If it's a Chinese brand it's a Chinese design. We don't call BMWs Korean when they had a Korean designer. Don't be silly with me.

    Does it really matter what country makes a car ?
    A lot of people hate Tesla's because of Musk.

    Why would James Bond drive a Chinese car, the implication being a paid partnership? As opposed to a British car? It can be written into the story but I don't like the idea.

    Yes Maybe if the studio gets a offer they can't refuse it will happen ? or maybe if it's filmed in China ?
    Didn't you like Bond driving a BMW either ?

    How about driving a Lotus 7, but then, sort of, further developed?

    My view on this is that Bond is a fellow of style and elegance, and since budgetary restraints do not need to be considered, he would always drive a stylish car, which means by defintion he would prefer a European one (just imo, of course :) ). Same goes for watches, it would be out of character for James Bond to wear an apple watch or whatever that's called. I'd like my Bond to appreciate timeless elegance. Or you might as well give him a baseball cap for the next film.

    Yep, I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday. Trying to decide on an outfit as the weather is a bit changeable!

    Ferrari 849 Testarossa

    Nice or Ugly ?

    Neither, rather forgettable. It gives me a Corvette-vibe.

    Yeah, a red one inscribed "MAKE AGENTS GREAT AGAIN".

    You should get a (grey) Anthony Sinclair suit like the one bond wore in DN or GF for such an occasion.
    I'd love to get one for myself, stunning suits. The GOAT of suits ? 🏆
    A tuxedo would be nice too.

    Not sure they’d have coped in the conditions! To be honest I like to dress like a guy in the 50s/60s attending a race meeting as a spectator, I don’t go too formal. Lots of amazing outfits and even more incredible cars though. And I happened to stroll past three F1 world champions at different points.

    You're so lucky to be able to attend such a great event.👍

    Yeah it’s fun, I’ll try to dig out some photos. Might look a bit grimmer than usual in that weather! My ears are still ringing from some of the Grand Prix cars too!
