Supermoto World Championship Review 2009

The official review brings you all the best action and essential highlights from both the S1 and S2 championship trails, as we visit every single round of the 2009 season.

Combining the best high-jumping exploits of motocross with the sort of power-sliding you’d see at speedway, Supermoto delivers pulsating action all the way – and this DVD is packed with drama.

Stunning footage shows all the greats, including brothers Adrien and Thomas Chareyre, Gerald Delepine and Mauno Hermunen, in the chase for victory.

The Title Trail

Share the excitement and drama of the gripping battle for the 1974 Ulster 350 Road Racing Championship, as Abe Alexander and Ian McGregor go head-to-head on The Title Trail.

Thanks to renowned film-makers Alwyn and Colin James, we have action-packed archive footage capturing an important chapter in the history of the sport. The classic film, which featured in the celebrated TV series Charge of the Bike Brigade, is complemented on this DVD with newly-recorded introductions from race commentary giant Derek ‘Big D’ Mason and racing legend Ray McCullough, plus a very special bonus feature.

The Title Trail, narrated by Seamus McKee, takes us through the full, dramatic 1974 Ulster 350 season, visiting classic meetings like the Ulster Grand Prix, Mid-Antrim 150 and North West 200, and legendary circuits including Kirkistown, Tandragee, Cookstown and Maghaberry. We concentrate on the exploits of Alexander and McGregor, but the ‘support’ cast is packed with great names, such as Tony Rutter, Mick Grant, Tom Herron, the original Dromara Destroyer Ray McCullough and the early appearances of the Armoy Armada – Mervyn Robinson, Frank Kennedy and Joey Dunlop.

The racing is exceptional, particularly the last lap dice between Alexander and McGregor at Dundrod, which saw them split by less than half the length of a bike at the line, and awesome Abe’s incredible ride through the field to retain the King of Kirkistown title. Archive race footage and interviews chart all the ups and downs of the season, including how Alexander would overcome mechanical failures and bone-breaking injuries to secure his first pure road racing victory and the Ulster 350 championship.

Specially filmed for this DVD is a bonus feature offering an evocative look at the atmosphere at the inaugural Armoy Road Race. Bill Kennedy and Jim Dunlop are among those to reflect on the 2009 Race of Legends, described by Guy Martin as ‘extreme as road racing gets’, where Michael Dunlop and Ryan Farquhar were among the winners.

Giants of Brazil: Pele to Romario

Giants of Brazil captures the genius and exuberance of Brazilian football from Pele in the fifties to Romario in 1994.

With stunning displays of attacking football and memorable goals, the film features a roll call of genius: Pele, Jairzainho, Garrincha, Romario, Rivelino, Tostao, Zico, Santos and many more.

All the World Cups between 1958 and 1994 are featured with a special profile of 1970 - arguably the greatest team ever assembled in the history of the World Cup!

For any fan who wants to see football at its best, this superb film is a must!

Raining Champions

Experience three wonderfully evocative films showing a golden age of road racing, when the Armoy Armada and Dromara Destroyers did battle on the circuits of Northern Ireland.

These archive gems, which featured in the celebrated TV series “Charge of the Bike Brigade”, bring you action from 11 gripping races, plus interviews with the stars and more. Newly-filmed introductions featuring TAS Racing team owner Hector Neill, road racing commentary giant Derek ‘Big D’ Mason and racing legend Tommy Robb bring a new appreciation to three classic confrontations, perfectly setting the scene before we are treated to truly historic showdowns.

Among the heroes seen in action are the original Dromara Destroyer Ray McCullough, Armoy Armada stars Joey Dunlop, Frank Kennedy and Mervyn Robinson, plus Mick Grant, Percy Tait, Tony Rutter, Charlie Williams, Stan Woods, Tom Herron, Abe Alexander and a young Steve Parrish.

Raining Champions charts the 1976 North West 200, bringing you highlights of four enthralling dices on the wet roads of County Antrim, including the amazing battle between the works entries from Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha and the heroics of the British Spartans. This was the first year of the Magic Roundabout, and we eavesdrop as Grant and Rutter discuss the course and the potential dangers of this new feature. The Embassy Final 1975 takes us to the Kirkistown circuit, and the exceptional colour footage treats us to some amazingly close racing – not least the showdown between McCullough and Dunlop. Finally, we travel to Dundrod for the 1975 Ulster Grand Prix and action from four races – including the first ever Superbike race at the Ulster. It is packed with history, including McCullough’s domination of the 350cc race, Tait’s emotional superbike win, the dramatic rain-hit 500cc contest and McCullough turning out for the 250cc on a Harley Davidson!

Filmed specially for this DVD are two fascinating features. In the first, Trevor Steele, an original member of the Dromara Destroyers, talks about the rivalry with the Armoy Armada. In the second, important racing figures past and present – including Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness, World Superbike Champion James Toseland and multiple Duke Road Race Rankings champion Ryan Farquhar – reflect on the impact of road racing in the 1970s.

World Rally Review 2009

"Superb value for money" Autosport

The 2009 World Rally Championship was an absolute thriller - and now you can relive all the essential highlights from all 12 action-packed rounds in the Official DVD Review.

In fact, there was so much drama this year's review needs two discs to pack in the more than seven hours of highlights!

The best footage, plenty of in-car excitement, interviews and bonus features bring you the full story of the season, delivering a comprehensive look back at one of the tensest title battles for many years.

After five World Rally Championship victories in a row, Sebastien Loeb started the 2009 season as favourite once again. However, the Citroen star would have to fight right to the bitter end with Mikko Hirvonen, who used his Ford Focus to great effect during this turbulent year of rallying.

With just one round to go, the Finn led his French rival by a single point - it would all be settled in Britain on the season-closing Rally GB, and what a finale!

Who could have predicted the top pair would battle to the very last day, and that the 2009 World Rally Championship would be decided by a single point and just a handful of seconds?

The Official DVD Review brings you comprehensive coverage of this historic title fight, with detailed highlights from every round and all the most spectacular action - including some truly incredible smashes.

There's also loads of must-see bonus features on this 2-disc set, including a look at the return of Petter Solberg, Hirvonen's guide to snow banks, a look at fitness in the WRC and much, much more.

"Rally fans take note: you'll need to set aside seven hours to get through it all. The dramatic story of the 12-round series is recaptured, and there are numerous bonus features. Superb value for money" Autosport
