    This sort of ties in with the theme of the previous contest.

    Any movie, TV show, animated cartoon, comic book or other media dealing primarily with races and those who compete in them. That includes foot racing, auto racing, bicycle racing, horse racing, boat and air racing.

    Usual avatar rules: maximum 200 x 200 pixels, maximum file size 1 meg. I'll allow fantasy, sci-fi, and fiction based on historical events, but no documentaries please.

    Ladies and gentlemen, start your entries!

    My entry: Chariots of Fire (1981).

    Sorry, I don't recognize that one. What's it from?

    Sorry about that, I'm usually better at remembering to include the source. It's Pixar's Cars (2006).

    Sure, as long as it's about racing -- motocross, track, whatever.

    Can anybody get this down to one megabyte without it looking like total shit? I've already removed frames, cropped it to 200px width and done some optimization on it to lower the file size.

    I've got it down to 980K. There's some image compression but I don't think it looks too bad.

    Yeah, that works! Thanks.

    That's from "Two-Face: Part II", incase anybody was trying to identify the episode.

    @tharpdevenport: Is Batman actually racing against someone in that animated clip, or just trying to get someplace in a hurry?

    All great entries so far!

    He's getting someplace in a hurry. He foregoed the Batmobile for the cycle; I guess he thought that was faster (in the rain?).

    I'll allow it, but let's try to keep the entries related to racing (i.e competition), OK?
