Synopsis
On its surface, it's just a document of a race: cars circling around the track, spectators cheering, lap after lap of the same images repeated. The narration toys with ideas like the interaction between human reflexes and intelligence and the increasingly complicated machines we operate. More subversively, Kluge probes the pacifying effect of populist entertainment, which provides a harmless distraction from politics and more important social issues, and he wonders aloud why this kind of entertainment so often flirts with death and violence.
