Am I alone here or was that ad off putting to others also?

F1 and ad free?
Take a closer look at the cars, guardrails and billboards next time.

It did look somewhat odd, but I saw it as a compensation for all the talk about the Malaysian weather being close to unbearable.

Well there is little point in advertising Malaysia to people who are already in Malaysia...
These CGI messages need to go though, they look awful and distract from the racing.

I get that and I have no problem there. What I am talking about is the CGI ad that was placed so it looked like it was physically drawn onto the track itself and which would have only been visible to people watching the live feed (on TV).

No ads within track limits, please.
Posted 29 March 2015 - 14:37
The best wishes to Bernie were kind of funny in a way. This isn't. What are we going to hear next time? "Lewis, keep it on the grey commercialized stuff."

I didn't even notice it. I must be an advertisers nightmare

We know it has been happening for a few years with off track CGI advertisements but was today a step to far? I am talking about the 'visit Malaysia' at the end of the grid straight on track that was used. The first time I saw it I just cringed and thought to myself you make us pay to watch F1 so we get to see it add free and the result is you place more TV only advertisements into the race itsself.

From what I hear about this and other thing too, I think I am blessed. I do not notice ads at all (unless I'm looking for them). Never have.

Now even this got a thread?

Same here. I never noticed it until this thread brought it up.

Unless you took it on subliminally. If you find yourself in Malaysia without really knowing why, you know who to blame
Posted 31 March 2015 - 07:52
I'll let you guys into a little secret. There are no Tilke circuits.
For the past 10 years his circuits have all been CGI, every inch of tarmac is CGI. Google map those circuits, there's nothing there, just wasteland.
Forget the CGI ads, it's all CGI.
Why do you think no-one's buying tickets any more, who wants to sit and stare at a green screen for 2 hours?
Posted 31 March 2015 - 08:11
Vist Malaysia isn't to bad. The one in Australia was much worse (who the hell is Ron?). Previous Bernie Says outings made me cringe more. Like he has any moral high ground. Perhaps he is the Stig and sees this as social media.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 10:00
I would CGI-ads on cars...
eh! Before you come out with pitchforks, hear me out!
... if the CVC-money would be divided in a different way. Then you could 'rent' the wing (or an agreed white place on the car) to companies that want to advertise in one Grand Prix, but not the whole year, and not necessarily one team, but a car that is the broadcast.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 10:08
It won't be long until Bernie CGI's some potential excitement into the dull races, like digital rain, or faint wisps of smoke coming from the engine of the runaway leader.
"Hamilton has a puncture... and what's this? A Tyrannosaurus rex appears to be on track by the hairpin. Do you think the two are related, Martin?"

David Coulthard: 'Cleary, this T-rex was released by Nico Rosberg to distract Lewis.'

digital rain
Causing the virtual safety car?

Me neither until I read this thread. Doesn't bother me one bit now that I saw it, if it brings more money to F1 that's fine by me
Posted 31 March 2015 - 10:24
I agree it's gone way too far. Those watching on the television think Vettel won, rather than see Hamilton lapping the field thrice.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 10:24
Get rid of the on track digital ads/messages, they're bloody annoying. Have them on the grass or whatever if you have to, but on the track is a no no, even more so if they're put there while cars are racing through them as happened on Sunday, that's even worse.

It wasn't as bad as the time when the English were led to believe that Andy Murray won Wimbledon, but for the rest I agree with you.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 10:33
I actually dislike those CGI ads a lot.
I can understand some helping CGI for explaining goals, limits and results like in track n field events: personal best, qualification limit, silver, bronze, gold and world record limits.
But I cannot tolerate effects put into ads business.

I noticed it and thought it was one clever way of modern advertising. However, if they start advertising too much like that, it could get annoying. With a single case during a Grand Prix I am fine.

In few years time, those adds would appear different in different countries.
I can just imagine, empty guardrails on the site, but full of advertisments on TV. On each TV station their own sponsors, of course. One country could see the advertisment for some drinks, while other for some cigarettes.
Plus, each "CG package" for each TV station would come with a seperate fee. More space to be sold, more $ to be gained for FOM.
Hmm...
Why haven't I think of that before...?
Posted 31 March 2015 - 11:06
The could CGI spectators in for all the new races nobody attends, too.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 11:22
I gotta say I really disliked it a lot.
If you want adverts please spray paint the grass/run off like this used to. These CG adverts stand out like a sore thumb.

Posted 31 March 2015 - 11:46
It was cheesy.
Though I'll tell you what I would love to see, a 'ghost' car for when they show the qualifying battle between P1 and P2 rather than the side by side shots.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 12:01

Exactly.
If one does not "Visit Malaysia" then how would one enjoy an authentic Nasi Lemak
Posted 31 March 2015 - 12:23
I suddenly have an urge to never visit Malaysia. Ever.
Posted 31 March 2015 - 12:27
I believe the correct term is "augmented reality".

Dude, what are you smoking? This is not 2015, what`s the next you expect? Working live timing of the cars on your personal computer?

i caught a bit of the qatar motogp and i was kind of blown away that they're overlaying live telemetry that follows a bike when seen from another bike's onboard. f1 hasn't even done that from static cameras yet (afaik), but american motorsport has had that for how many years now?
oh no that's fine guys, better to focus instead on cgi ads that look like they were rendered in 1992 and moving the camera positions around so they favour the ad placement instead of best capturing the action.
i'm not saying they shouldn't consider using technology to create advertising for their sponsors or put ads in creative places - the rolex clock/scoreboard at the pit lane exit works well, for example - what i am saying is that the current attempts at CGI look terrible and are distracting and offputting. the messages at the start/end of races have been incredibly amateurish, now we get that visit malaysia ad slapped in the way of the action? what the hell.

Next thing we know, Bernie will issue instructions to CGI out the cars of teams that have displeased him. On second thoughts, I think that may have happened already to the Manor car on Sunday...
Posted 31 March 2015 - 19:02
With the unfortunate aviation occurrences that have impacted travel to their country in recent times, a campaign like this is predictable
