Chariot Racing, circa 2009

Winner of a Roman Chariot Race

A move is afoot to revive chariot racing in Rome's Circus Maximus.

In 2009 the three days of races will begin on the traditional starting date of October 17. As the Circus Maximus is not up to code for seating 35,000 fans, cameras and remote viewing screens are to be installed.
