Microsoft Wishes Lewis Good Luck… Through Skid Marks!

October 18th, 2007 Posted in News, Xbox 360

Seems like Microsoft has a thing for Lewis Hamilton, professional driver, as they gave him a special message of good luck by embezzling it onto the ground ahead of this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix, which could see him walk away as Formula One World Champion.

As the picture above shows, the message was created entirely by the skid marks of a sports car and a motorbike, using wheelspins and handbrake turns to lay rubber onto the turmac. It may not be apparent in the picture, but it’s about 50-foot tall. It took Russ Swift, UK’s top stunt driver, three sets of tires to create the image. And yes, it’s also a promotion for the recently released Project Gotham Racing 4.
