Brad Pitt F1 film hits Daytona 24 Hours, Bruckheimer named Grand Marshal
The filming at Daytona will center around a Porsche 911 GT3 R entered by the fictional Chip Hart Racing team, which is actually run by Wright Motorsports for real-life drivers Adam Adelson, Elliott Skeer, Jan Haylen, and Frederic Makowiecki. The car features the names Sonny Hayes (portrayed by Brad Pitt in the movie), C Kelso, and Patrick Long, a former Porsche racer turned ambassador. Geico insurance and Peak antifreeze are sponsors of the car. This car will play a role in the storyline of the untitled Formula 1 movie, produced by Apple Original Films, directed by Joseph Kosinski, and also involving Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films. Jerry Bruckheimer himself will serve as the Grand Marshal for the Daytona 24 Hours, delivering the famous starting words. This is a fitting role for Bruckheimer, known for producing exciting and action-packed movies, including the iconic Days of Thunder, which was filmed at Daytona.
