Checkered Flag

And the winner is - Checkered Flag! Winners are a blend of many ingredients, from the newest marvel of technology to the tried verities of generations of experience. Checkered Flag is such a combination of age-old wisdom and the freshest ideas. It is armed with an ultra-reliable machine-gun, product of more than a century and a half of steady development, but the gun is aimed by the latest word in targeting computers. Checkered Flag is sheathed in metal, the armor of the knights of old, but it fires High Density ammo that will shred the plastic of 2040. The brute power of its engine is tamed by its precision handling and control. Get ready for the winner - get ready for Checkered Flag!
