As the contestants race to the grand prize, Sinclair and his wealthy friends, who have placed bets on the winner, are monitoring every racer
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits sharp and detailed images with pleasing contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. There is some edge enhancement and evidence of noise reduction, but overall the picture should be quite satisfying.
