Road
racing has produced some of the closets and most
memorable contests ever, and now you can relive 12
of the very best with the latest release from Duke.
Road
Racing Great Races Vol.1 counts down our selection
of the fastest, closest and most unforgettable
showdowns seen in modern between-the-hedges racing.
This is
an action-packed spectacular, featuring many of the
greatest road racers around on some of the most
challenging – and demanding – tracks.
Featuring action from great road races from 1995 to
2008, Road Racing Great Races Vol.1 is the first
instalment in a hugely collectable series. Plans for
Vol.2 are already underway, with the Isle of Man
TT’s Great Races set to feature.
In this
first volume, leading road racing commentator
Stephen Watson is your guide as you experience our
selection of Road Racing’s Great Races, with action
from the Ulster Grand Prix, Macau, Southern 100,
Cookstown 100, Mid-Antrim 150, Manx Grand Prix and
North West 200.
There’s
comprehensive coverage of all 12 of the carefully
selected events, featuring incredible race action
captured by the best camera angles, including plenty
of white-knuckle on-board footage, and interviews
with many of the leading riders. Road Racing’s Great
Races features Phillip McCallen, Ian Lougher, John
McGuinness, Richard Britton,
Ryan
Farquhar, Bruce Anstey, Adrian Archibald, Guy
Martin, Ian Hutchinson, Steve Plater and a host more
of the biggest names in the sport.
The
extraordinary, unbelievable and unforgettable
moments just keep coming, from the nail biting
battle between Mike Edwards and McCallen around the
twisting streets of Macau to one of the closest-ever
finishes on the Isle of Man Mountain circuit – the
2006 MGP Junior results settled by just 0.01 of a
second after more than 150miles!
Then
there’s the record-breaking pace Ulster GP showdown
between Martin and Hutchinson, with Martin scoring
his first International win by just 0.529 seconds.
And what about the breathtaking four-way dice for
victory during the 2005 600cc race at the Dundrod
circuit? This is McGuinness, Anstey, Lougher and
Archibald in an almost unbelievable dice for the
win.
Bringing the selection right up to date is the
complete 250cc race from this year’s North West 200.
The meeting was rocked by the death in practice of
road racing great Robert Dunlop, a 15-time winner
around the Portrush triangle. Many couldn’t believe
their eyes when Robert’s sons Michael and William
lined up to start the 250cc race just two days after
losing their dad. What unfolded was truly one the
great contests of road racing, as well as one of the
great stories of the sport. Michael Dunlop’s
hard-fought and emotionally charged win could not be
left out of any list of great races.
This is
our selection of 12 of the greatest road races of
the modern era – is your favourite here?
