Review Super Speedway [1997] / Aviva International:One of the best directors of IMAX films, Stephen Low (Titanica) has always been a race fan. After obtaining permission from CART, a governing body of Indy car racing and Newman/Haas racing (a Championship team co-owned by Paul Newman), Low found his stars for Super Speedway: the racing Andrettis, father Mario and son Michael. Mounting cameras fore and aft on the Andrettis' cars, IMAX offers a better vantage point than an ESPN camera, at a superior grade of clarity. Add to that the excellent sound and you can "feel" the bumps on the asphalt as the cars zoom in and out of corners. The large format can turn a pit stop into a dramatic 12 seconds as we see the driver's eyes dart away from his cockpit for a few brief seconds. We watch Michael Andretti on oval tracks and exciting road courses going over hills and sharp turns. There's even a spin-probably staged-from an angle we've never seen before. Although true race conditions were impossible (the camera is just too bulky), Low sneakily edits his film to stretch the imagination. On race day, several Indy cars drove alongside the camera car hours before the main event, passing and drafting each other with crowds whizzing past them. When edited with footage of the race, it feels like the real thing. [+]Low takes a few off-beat choices in setting up his story. The first image is the biggest chicken you've ever seen. The last shot is a 1950s car (lovingly restored during the film) racing through perfect golden foliage on an autumn day. It gives his movie of modern technology a wonderful sense of nostalgia. -Doug Thomas, Amazon. com.

Review Top Gear - Fast And Furious 2 / 2 Entertain Video:They're packing enough sheer oomph to blow up your VCR, they're delivering turbo-charged roars fit to wake the dead and they're barely restrainable as they rev up on the asphalt-and that's just the presenters. Oh yeah, there's a bunch of cars, too, not to mention some boats and planes and ice-racing and stuff. Top Gear is of course the grandmother of all motoring programmes and here the irrepressible Tiff Needell tries out some formidable cars from TVR, BMW, Ferrari, Nissan, Subaru, Porsche, Jaguar, Aston Martin (the latter still oozing panache) and others, while the honorary lad-of-the-type-we-can-never-resist Vicki Butler-Henderson gets to deliver a monologue on the refurbishment of fighter planes-except she does it from the cockpit in mid-flight in a kind of well-bred shout. The cars are, supposedly, all production models (a "production" F1 McLaren?!), although a production car with a dial on the dashboard which measures acceleration in gravities-yes, a G-force meter!-is probably not coming soon to that dealership near you. The closest the tests get to practicality is the checking of the boot space to see if it'll accommodate a golf bag, which is exactly as it should be in this fun-packed homage to total fantasy motoring. -Roger Thomas.
