Tony Stark’s own Formula 1!

Stark Industries Formula 1

Iron Man 2 is still being shot but we’ve got a little preview of one of the new car star thanks to the folks at Road & Track. They got their hands on a spy photography showing a Formula 1 proudly sporting the Stark Industries livery. It looks more like an Indy car, but that’s actually pretty close to some vintage Formula one models. It will be used for the historic race that the billionaire superhero participates in, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. The production recreated the circuit instead of going to Monaco to shoot the scene.
Apparently Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) will this time be facing Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), his weapons designer. The cast looks even better than in the first movie, with Gwyneth Paltrow returning as Pepper Potts, and Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson joining the crew.
This second episode of the Ironman series is expected to hit theaters in April 2010.
