Man begins talking in a studio as text appears introducing his name.
Text: Robert Reina
Robert: "Shell Motorsport World joined the celebrations at Italy's Mugello Circuit recently as over 30,000 avid Ferrari fans packed the Tuscan race track to celebrate another successful year for the famous Prancing Horse."
As Robert speaks, clips of the race track, the cars, the crews, and the drivers are shown. Sounds of cars racing and engines screaming play simultaneously with the clips.
Robert: "The traditional end of season festival was a four day tribute to all things Ferrari. It featured the world finalist of the Ferrari challenge Trofeo Pirelli championship for F430 owner drivers, along with the deciding rounds of the hotly contested Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge. Ferrari's past, present and future were all on display, and the appearance of newly crowned Formula One World Champions Kimi Räikkönen and Scuderia Ferrari added dramatic flair to an already exciting event."
A clip of Kimi walking with his team is shown as it cuts back to Robert in the studio.
Robert: "The Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge is a step back in time for historic motor racing enthusiasts, with authentic pre 1982 Ferrari, Maserati, and Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeos taking to the track in different classes. But keeping these cars running at their optimum is a challenge in itself, particularly given the evolution of fuel. So we caught up with Shell's Jörg Landschof to find out more."

Jörg: "When we started to create Shell Racing Fuel Historic, we talked to the Ferrari technicians, and talked about their needs. For example, octane and protection which was given by having lead in the fuel. The Shell technical partnership with Ferrari started in the 1930's and it was a great help, because we have a huge database where we exactly know which car which needs what kind of fuel. What we did was we took out the lead, and we found a synthetic replacement for this kind of car."
Clips of cars racing and an animated demonstration of the fuel development process is shown as Jörg explains.
Robert: "Make sure you come back and find us again for more new and insight into the world of Shell Motorsport. I'm Robert Reina, goodbye for now."
Closes with Robert in the studio, with text in the background.
