'Iron Man 2' Gets in the Fast Lane
Fri, July 3, 2009 Road & Track magazine has tracked down a picture of a vintage race car sponsored by the fictional Stark Industries (the car will be featured in the upcoming "Iron Man 2").
According to the magazine: "This is the Stark Industries-sponsored vintage race car that the movie's main protagonist — genius inventor and swash-buckling lady's man Tony Stark — will be driving in a scene that depicts him racing in the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, a vintage race held in Monte Carlo. The scene is not being filmed on the actual streets of the tiny, glamorous seaside principality near the south of France, but on an elaborate set that replicates the Monaco circuit. We're not sure what the Stark Industries car, which is built to resemble a '70s racer, is based on exactly, but this image leads us to believe that a fully functional race car — perhaps a Formula Ford or Formula Mazda car — resides beneath that blue-and-white Stark Motor Sports livery. Check out the Avon racing slicks and transmission sticking out the back of the car beneath the rear wing."

Well, I have yet to see the first Iron Man movie. I guess I should see it. I do like Robert Downey, Jr. I was surprised his name was not in the article. I am starting to wish Marvel owned Superman. Maybe we would have had a new movie ages ago.
That car races pretty good and the way it was (spoiler alert for those who missed it) wrecked was pretty cool it just missed to have a Viagra Online add in it. Once again Marvel does a great job with Iron Man that seems to be taking the Banner from X-men to be the flagship of Marvel for the next years.
Yeah I remember this scene, I was with some friends of generic viagra labs watching the movie in the day of release, thanks
