How the APXGP car was built

The highly anticipated F1 The Movie features a custom-built APXGP car, meticulously created by Graham Kelly and his team at GK Evolution. This cinematic marvel, central to Brad Pitt and Damson Idris's on-screen racing, utilizes a modified F2 chassis with F1-style bodywork and genuine Mecachrome F2 engines to achieve authentic, high-speed visuals. Faced with unique challenges, including filming during live Grand Prix weekends and overcoming limitations with traditional camera cars, Kelly's ingenuity, like developing an electric chassis for pit lane shots, proved crucial. The film aims for unparalleled realism, earning praise even from F1 drivers, validating Kelly's dedication to making the most authentic racing movie to date.
