F1 through the eyes of a speed freak!

ITV-F1 theme

ITV_F1.JPGI have noticed a few people searching for the theme music to the ITV coverage of F1.

Well here we are, it's 'Lift Me Up' by Moby.

Downloads for your phones : Midi , WMA (Windows Mobile) or MP3

I also have the BBC 'Original' F1 music, here in MP3  

If you like the song, then grab the album

(P.S. Sorry about the broken link in the BBC tune, should be fixed now)

    I watched the highlights of F1 last night and they have used a new them tune - not Moby - the lyrics that were repeated most were 'turn me on' and it is a house/dance song which I love but cannot find what it is - can anyone help? Tks.

  2. ashleigh August 1st, 2006 6:24 am

    That's the Moby tune.

  3. pip August 7th, 2006 7:19 am

    Do you also know the tune that was used before the Moby one?

  4. ashleigh August 7th, 2006 6:08 pm

    The one before Moby was actually a specifically written theme by jamiroquai. It's never actually been released, I believe it was called Speed or something similar.

    I will try to hunt it down.

  26. Brendan April 13th, 2007 8:16 am

    Anyone got the OLD FIA intro, as was used or ears and years before someone decided to change it to the current multi-coloured swooshy thing, which is pretty poor

  27. nikki April 15th, 2007 8:20 am

    I know this a F1 Blog but I was wondering if any1 knows what the WRC theme tune is called (if anything) and who its by? Used on Eurosport and I think also ITV. Cant seem 2 find anything out about it!

  28. ashleigh April 15th, 2007 8:32 am

    Nikki, its Short Circuit and it was written by Steve Duberry. It’s not available anywhere as far as I know, however the ‘classical’ music used as the sample is Bitzels PearlFisher.

    Hope that helps

  29. Alec April 18th, 2007 3:47 am

  32. James May 21st, 2007 11:48 am

    Anyone know where I can find a video download of the new ITV F1 Intro trailer, the one where the type appears in sinc with the commentator?

    Cheers

  33. danielle June 10th, 2007 3:31 pm

  34. Bob Bowden June 11th, 2007 8:18 am

    I’m also looking for this music from the new F1 promo.

    It’s used on the promo trailer, with the red, black and white typeface animated to fit the overdub. It’s a sweeping string thing with a fat baseline.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Bob

  35. Jason June 25th, 2007 6:21 pm

    Here is a puzzler for you… in the old days of F1 on the BBC, when Murray used to go through the grid, there always used music in the background, it was not the theme tune to F1 but more of a techno sound - can yo help ?

    Thanks

    Jay

  36. Paul June 26th, 2007 5:33 pm

    Going back 10 years ago, when ITV did its first F1 season. In Jerez, they did a feature that showed some of the moments of the ITV season to a dance-type backing track. Haunted me for ages, always wanted to know what it’s called. It sounds like Delerium/Tin Tin Out and has a good beat behind it with a ‘whoa-hah-hey’ vocal-line behind it
    Any help tracking it down would be appreciated. Think it’s the same one that Saville and Nicolle are looking for
    Cheers

  37. ashleigh June 27th, 2007 4:55 am

    I’ll have a look about see what I can find out.

  38. Lee June 29th, 2007 7:00 pm

    BBC used Columbia by Oasis at one time (95 I think in review of the season) and also they have used Favourite Game by The Cardigans. Check them in case its one of them.

  39. Lily July 8th, 2007 8:22 am

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me please. The F1 programme today, about 30 minutes in, they did a montage of Lewis Hamilton’s pole qualifier from yesterday. Does anyone know the music they played over it. Thank you.

  40. ashleigh July 8th, 2007 1:34 pm

    I’ve had a dig about for the tune name, it rings a bell, but I just cant put my finger on what it is. For now I’ve encoded the montage and popped it here for ya.

  45. Matt July 17th, 2007 3:44 am

    Off topic again, but does anyone know of a place where you can download the theme from the old Rally Report programme that was on the BBC - this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CGt_1AFsjU&mode=related&search= - Wanted it as a ringtone. Any help gratefully recieved!

    “Nikki, its Short Circuit and it was written by Steve Duberry. It’s not available anywhere as far as I know, however the ‘classical’ music used as the sample is Bitzels PearlFisher.”

    In response to the above, the PearlFisher music content of this composition was an original recording using live singers and orchestra and WAS NOT a sample.

    There are plans to make this track along with other TV sports themes by Steve DuBerry available in the near future

  47. saville August 8th, 2007 7:28 pm

    Ya Paul that is the tune i was looking for driving me mad if it helps ashleigh it was also used on ITV at the end of the french Gp in 98 or 99 season for there When Murray Walker was to go in a Mclaren Two seater with Martin Brundle Please help?

  48. ashleigh August 8th, 2007 7:37 pm

    Wow, that’s going back… I’ll have a dig about and see what I can find, The murray and Brundel two seater drive is listed on “Murray Walker’s F1 Greats” DVD, I’ll have a look what audio is on the DVD, might just be the ITV feed.

  49. Pratish August 13th, 2007 6:33 am

    Well I am looking for the theme music that they showed at the end of 2004 season on star sports, wherein they showed the entire seasons summary in a short 2-3 minute clip with a background music that I have searching since that year. It would be really Kind if anyone even knows the name of that track…
    Please let me know if anyone of you get it..
    PLEASE DO…
    Thank You

  50. Matt Wright August 18th, 2007 12:42 pm

  55. Jeff October 22nd, 2007 5:02 am

    Does anyone know the classical piece that is usually played after the podium ceremony.
    Its quite fast - dit dit didadida dit dit didadida dit dit didadida-der.
    does that make sence?

  56. Steve October 22nd, 2007 7:56 am

    Anyone know…?

    Before the race, ITV showed some VT with Lewis, Fernando & Kimi giving them the subtitles “ROOKIE”, “CHAMPION” & “ICE MAN” iirc - it has some nice bassy punchy music set to it, does anyone know what that’s called & if it’s available?

  57. Steve October 22nd, 2007 8:07 am

    Doesn’t matter!
    I’m told it’s: Amerie - Gotta work

  58. Steve October 22nd, 2007 8:30 am

    Sorry, I lied; it’s ‘Genesis’ by Justice. :)

  59. ashleigh October 22nd, 2007 8:30 am

    I’ll rip it off to WMV at somepoint shortly for anyone that wants to download it, as I know not all broadcasters used it.

  60. benjamin brooks-nan October 23rd, 2007 7:29 am

    For how long will F1 bosses continue to think that fans are so gullible and naive? After qualifying on pole for the last race in Brazil, Fillipe Massa in an interview with Itv said: I’ll play my part but it’s up to the McLaren boys to play their part.

    Does that mean, all collaborating to ensure a Raikonen win? After all he’s been trying to win the Championship for years now and Lewis could take a backseat.

    In !997, when Jaques Villneuve won the drivers Championship for Williams, after Schumacher slammed his Ferari into his Williams, it was decided, that Hakinen should win the race. He’s after all, been in formula 1 for a long time, without winning a single race by then.

    Writing some few years back,the Sunday Times Magazine had this to say: ‘Sponsorship has replaced the swashbuckling dare-devil as the persona of the modern grand prix driver. Laden down by a quilt of advertising logos masquerading as race overalls, the press conference reveals them to be what in most cases have become prepackaged and corporate spin.’

    We have not been so gullible or naive as Ecclestone and others have been thinking after all!

  61. jimbo October 27th, 2007 6:20 pm

    Nikki

    Go to http://www.geocities.com/trevchris2003/INTERACTIVE.html for the WRC theme. I’m not sure of the quality of the recording though. The sound range isn’t very good so perhaps its been recorded off the telly with a mike?

  62. ashleigh October 27th, 2007 6:22 pm

    I’ll pull the audio of this weekend’s broadcast of the WRC for those that want it.

  65. John March 23rd, 2008 12:22 pm

    Does anyone know the name of the rock band who perform for the Sony advert (the one with the orange muscle car) which sponsors F1 on ITV?
    Thanks

  66. Sophie March 26th, 2008 6:20 am

    John, that is what I was going to ask. It’s really been bugging me as the band sounds familiar. I kept thinking it was Deep Purple but I’m not sure. Does anyone know?

  67. ashleigh April 1st, 2008 12:28 pm
