Have you ever watched an episode of Top Gear and wondered how in the world they got such awesome footage? It turns out that they have high-tech camera booms mounted to SUVs and a helicopter at their disposal. A McLaren P1 was model of choice on a recent shoot in Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. We would love to have been present for this (or any) shoot because it looks like a lot of fun. Watch as the driver maneuvers around the track, putting on a show for the cameras sharing the track and swooping in overhead.
