The Running Man

Zach Hugh is the titular Running Man, the undefeated champion of the "Death Circus" racing circuit. Competitors race in high-speed formula-one-like craft, and people bet on the lives of these people for huge winnings. An unnamed reporter is sent to interview the mysterious Zach outside of the track. There, he witnesses and discovers the insane man's inhuman abilities, and the reason why he has won every single race.

you know... after this many crashes at the same place, you'd think the drivers would learn to watch out and slow down before the turn

or

you know... after this many crashes in Formula One history, you'd think they got rid of all the turns and drove a straight line

I'd hafta say these are GREAT moments in sports. I wanna see kickboxing while driving formula one tho.

A friend of my sister drives Formula One and has threatened to drive like that here in the states. He's afraid, though, that our stateside drivers would panic and hit the brakes instead of just drifting to the right.

Moving the bus over was the coup d'etat.

I only got into formula one a few years ago, but I do know that Aryton was the best driver they'd ever had. Wish I could've seen some of his races, my mum (big F1 fan) never kept any on tape.

BTW firefly, Alonso has made it close... he won the last championship, (Schumachers last one - hes retired now) so now there will be a lot of competition for the title. I guess that F1 is shown in america then?

Ayrton Senna (BRA)

World Champion - 1988, 1990-1991

Grand Prix Starts: 161
Grand Prix Wins: 41
Pole Positions: 65

He streaked through the sport like a comet, an other-worldly superstar whose brilliance as a driver was matched by a dazzling intellect and coruscating charisma that illuminated Formula One racing as never before. No one tried harder or pushed himself further, nor did anyone shed so much light on the extremes to which only the greatest drivers go. Intensely introspective and passionate in the extreme, Ayrton Senna endlessly sought to extend his limits, to go faster than himself, a quest that ultimately made him a martyr but did not diminish his mystique.

The video just shows a pretty hostess and the show in Italian - ho hum.

What I found interesting was the information on the google video page (compare what's going on here with the rather "ho hum" Foley scandal in the States):

" Elisabetta Gregoraci began her career as a dancer for the Italian TV show 'Libero' before replacing top model Eva Herzigova for the ... all » Wonderbra campaign.

Salvatore Sottile was the powerful spokesman for the former foreign minister, Gianfranco Fini, who leads the far-Right Alleanza Nazionale Party, and was a leading member of the former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's conservative coalition.

While intimately tied to the Savoy saga, more interesting to most Italians has been the discovery that - according to leaked transcripts of his conversations - Sottile, 60, arranged jobs for promising young television starlets in return for sexual favours.

Some of the sexual "concussione" (bribes) involved are alleged to have taken place in Berlusconi's personal office in the Palazzo Chigi, Rome's equivalent of Downing Street.

The revelations emerging from the investigation eclipsed even coverage of Italy's progress to the second stage of the World Cup. Two of the women involved with Sottile have been named as Maria Monse and Elisabetta Gregoraci, the latter the latest flame of the Formula One Renault team director, Flavio Briatore. Miss Gregoraci, 26, was a beauty queen before she moved into television, where she now appears on prime-time game shows.

Elisabetta Gregoraci admitted: "I had sexual relations with Salvatore Sottile at the Farnesina and at Palazzo Chigi [the prime minister's office], as well as other places."

She and Monse, another game show hostess, have been identified as the "first class sluts" whom Sottile and a friend at the state broadcaster, RAI, were taped discussing.

In his conversations, Sottile boasted to his chauffeur and to his friends of sexual exploits with both women, and claimed that he had found them television jobs. The allegations have shaken the Alleanza Nazionale, and Fini has so far backed Sottile. He is said to have told the prosecuting magistrate John Henry Woodcock, a Somerset-born lawyer who works in Italy, that the conversations were just "male bravado."

But Woodcock is said to have countered by producing a statement taken from Gregoraci during a secret interview last month. She is said to have admitted: "I had sexual relations with Sottile at the Farnesina and at Palazzo Chigi [the prime minister's office], as well as other places."
