2001 WRC ad for PS2, with Tommi Makinen, Richard Burns and Bruno Thiry

[@oscarsunden3764]

RIP Richard Burns & Colin McRae.

[@POLO9999]

Funfact : The French Version of this ad set the wrong country for Bruno Thiry, displaying German instead of Belgium 😱

[@fairrodthecapacitor]

Just like in game, some flags are wrong. In game Mills is English, Schwarz is Belgian, Loix is German and some names are wrong. For instance Michael Park is named Parks. Small errors

Those advertisements were pretty neat! I wish nowadays someone can make something similar.

This made me think of an ad around the same time for the official F1 game for PS2. A guy was playing in his living room and when he entered the pits in the game, his family came IRL out of nowhere and they refreshed his drink, swiped his sweat, changed his controller and stuff like a pit stop and then they all left when the pit stop ended in the game 😂

imagine pitching this idea to loeb and ogier

[@DavidCaudry]

Accurate Thiry representation

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Rest in peace Richard Burns and Colin McRae you both will be sadly missed by us all

I miss the PlayStation 2, PS4 was great but the let down that is the ps5 just makes me miss the PlayStation 2.

[@strahinjastevic7480]

Wonder what Bruno Thiry and Stephane Prevot are up to these days

[@wtcnl]

A few years ago Thiry was a testdriver for a large tyre-manufacturer and if Prevot drives two desert-raids as a profnavigator, he can live from it ...
