Driven Page #5

Synopsis: Talented rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly has started losing his focus and begins to slip in the race rankings. It's no wonder, with the immense pressure being shoveled on him by his overly ambitious promoter brother as well as Bly's romance with his arch rival's girlfriend Sophia. With much riding on Bly, car owner Carl Henry brings former racing star Joe Tanto on board to help Bly. To drive Bly back to the top of the rankings, Tanto must first deal with the emotional scars left over from a tragic racing accident which nearly took his life.

-No, l didn't.

Hey, friends don't do that.

lf they have problems, they talk.

We always did that.

Sometimes good things happen

from bad ones.

But, if it'd make you happy...

-...l'll divorce her.

-Memo, what are you doing?

Right now, right here, today.

l'm divorced.

But only if you marry me.

-Get out. Come on.

-Please. You know, l get so lonely.

Yeah, you look like you're lonely.

l just want to enjoy my life.

My real life...

...not this one.

And Cathy does that for me.

Amigo, l have to go. Show these

maricas what a real driver can do.

-l'll do my best.

-Okay.

Bye.

Sophia!

Where are you going?

Good luck today, Beau.

Everyone excited to see how

Joe Tanto does today.

His first race since

he nearly lost his life.

-Stop bothering people, wiseass.

-Don't mess with me.

The season's rookie leader, Bly.

It'll be interesting to see if this

young man can handle the pressure.

-What's she doing here?

-lt's all right.

No, this is not all right.

Brandenburg's whatever

enters your life by accident?

-''Whatever''? Hi, l'm Sophia.

-That's your problem.

DeMille, come on.

Weren't you being pulled

in too many directions?

-Man.

-That'll make more legroom for us.

We're ready in Toronto. Time for

the big one to get underway.

Working your way down the track?

Brandenburg is on the pole

first again.

As you have heard,

we are ever so close.

-We have five minutes to race time.

-Joseph.

Gentlemen, to your cars.

Hey, Jimmy. Good luck, man.

Thanks, man.

All the racers down in pit lane now...

...are in the final stages

of getting ready for this race.

Pace cars are standing by.

We are almost underway

here in Toronto.

Ladies and gentlemen,

are you ready for racing?

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Starting today's race from

the pole position, Beau Brandenburg.

Second qualifier, Dario Franchitti.

Third, Christian Fittipaldi.

They're warming their tires to desired

temperature for better traction.

This is the first

of four warm-up laps.

All eyes on the green flag

ready for it to drop.

Sixteenth, Joe Tanto.

The race is underway!

They roar toward the first turn,

a right-hander, a treacherous gate.

They funnel down into that corner.

The second passing opportunity

lies just ahead.

Someone's in trouble!

Two cars sideways, the Visteon car!

Right through the barrier!

He's flipping up end over end!

The Visteon car in big trouble!

An incredible accident!

This puts us at

a full course yellow.

It'll give the drivers a chance

for their first pit stops of the day.

One of the strategies to this game

is when to bring your man in.

An extra second in the pits can cost

a driver a place or two in this race.
