My son and I just watched this at least six times until my wife complained about the noise. And oh, what a noise! Thanks MATPOC

I still remember when people were setting fire to Shell stations.
Ah, I miss the 90s...not much, but a bit.

That part right at 0:53 reminded me of the Tobin Bridge. THAT would be hilarious.

Must have missed that. Why were people setting fire to Shell stations?

Check out the timeline for 14 June 1995 – 20 June 1995.
Remember, these were German greenies at work.

There was an embargo Stateside on Texaco in the mid-90's over racism, but I don't remember any fires.

I vaguely recall controversy around the Brent Spar in the news now. I don't think any of our new world greens got militant about it though.
I also wondered if it was something to do with the Ken Saro-Wiwa affair and the Ogoni repression, but I wasn't sure if that was Shell or some other evil oil company. Turns out it was, those Shell guys are pricks!

Been replaying this over and over, wonderful sounds and sights and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks this is simply jangleplatz! Sound of those old race cars alive once again gives me goose bumps.
I've been trying to identify the places, Coliseum and NYC in the beginning also Sao Paolo and Monaco in the end are easily identified, the Asian city according to the link below is Hong Kong, but the bridge after Manhattan scene is a mystery to me, anyone know what it is?

If you are talking about the scene starting 0:40, that looks like a part
of the Grand Pacific Drive in Australia.
I will also echo that video is very well done.

There is an awesome bridge from 0:40 to 0:50, from 0:50 to 1:00 it seems like a different place.
