Meet Zhao Xiuguo, driver of China’s fastest Formula One car, by virtue of being the country’s ONLY Formula One car.  Zhao and his brother built it from scrap metal, and now apparently they just drive around waiting for somebody else to get one, so they’ll have the opportunity to be number two. Meanwhile, this is a definite caption challenge for readers.formula300.jpg 

 

Zhao Xiuguo drives a homemade model of Formula One car in Tangshan, China, about 100 miles east of Beijing, July 21, 2006.  Zhao and his brother, Zhao Xiushun, built the car from scrap metal and said that they wanted to design and build the first Formula One racecar in China.   REUTERS/Claro Cortes IV
