Default Ferrari burnout at the Olympic Games opening ceremony!

The best opening ceremony I've ever seen, and the only one with a F1 car.

Luca Badoer was behind the wheel.

For those who don't know, the winter olympics started tonight in Turin, Italy.


**EDIT** (TechZ) LINK to the Video, thanks Vipergts662.

Damn it! All I saw was a skater with a flaming helmet and a bunch of people with cows and some guys with flags on their heads. A burning out Ferrari? F***ing Right! Though I guess this is the closest that the Olympics will get to hosting auto racing events... images/smilies/mad.gif


And I was telling my friend how it would be cool if a car was out there screwing around...

Sweet. I was watching the "Going Tribal" marathon while the ceremony was going on.

I'll try and find a rip of it somewhere.

I don't think any advertising or product placement is allowed within the opening ceremonies, as I understand it.
