Greg Drake waxes somewhat eloquently on the CGI effects in "Driven" and
says:
>Im [sic] sorry all of you are so uptight that you cant [sic]
>let your imagination go along with the movie.
Somewhere, I have a button purchased from a vendor at Balticon (an annual
SF con in Baltimore) a few years ago that sums up my opinion on this
subject quite well. It reads:
"I am willing to suspend my disbelief, but not hang it by the neck until
dead."
And the CGI you think is so cool is so *obviously* CGI that it's
distracting. And that's just my take from watching all the assorted and
sundry preview/behind-the-scenes shows (ESPN, SpeedVision, HBO), the TV
commercials, and the clips from the various talk shows.

Flagger at several Detroit Grands Prix CART events, none of which had huge
double-decker covered grandstands on the front straight of the temporary
street circuit laid out in a city park, and none of which served as the
season finale.
