Synopsis

I’m in the South of France, based at the high-tech testing ground for Formula One, the Circuit Paul Ricard. My mission is to find my favourite car of the year. Among the contenders are a pair of Ferraris: the V12, 6.3-litre FF and the 458. Also in the mix is the UK challenger to the 458, McLaren’s MP4-12C. The latest gizmo-laden Nissan GT-R, Porsche's GT2 RS, the 570-horsepower Lamborghini Performante, and the fun BMW 1M. Helping me are The Stig and Formula One new boy, Karun Chandhok. I look into the future with the hybrid-engined Mugen Honda CR-Z. There are also blasts from the past. The beautiful Eagle Speedster offers a modern twist on the iconic, timeless E-Type, featuring a 4.7-litre engine and an eye-watering £500,000 price tag. Also included is the all-new Jensen Interceptor R with its 6.2-litre Corvette motor. The mighty Brutus, a vintage car fitted with a flame-spitting BMW airplane engine, and the single-seater, B.A.C. Mono, capable of 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. What more could you want?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
