The legendary Isle of Man TT is one of the fastest,
most demanding and most spectacular sporting events
in the world, and in 2009 speeds hit an all-time
high.
Now you can experience all the excitement and drama
for yourself with the Official DVD Review, an
action-packed and comprehensive look back at the
fastest TT ever.
The TT, first run in 1907, remains one of the most
challenging and iconic motorsport events on Earth.
Every year the finest motorcycle racers descend on
the Island in the middle of the Irish
Sea to test their skills around the 37.73-miles of
closed public roads, where speeds top 190mph just
inches from houses, walls and hedges.
Over almost four hours of comprehensive coverage,
the Official Review brings you breathtaking
action footage as records tumble over the legendary
TT Mountain course in every single class.
Produced for the first time by North One Television,
the TT 2009 review offers unrivalled coverage of
this unique event.
There’s more on-board cameras with leading riders
than ever, letting viewers experience the incredible
37.73-mile circuit from the rider’s point-of-view.
Plus, the Hi-Motion camera captures spellbinding
ultra-slow motion sequences which demonstrate
exactly how much skill and courage it takes to
control 240bhp Superbikes at speeds in excess of
190mph.
The Official Review rounds up all the practice week
action, including Australian Cameron Donald’s
stunning unofficial lap record and his TT-ending
practice crash – complete with postsmash interview.
There’s complete coverage of every race over the
Mountain course, including an incredible
15th TT win and new outright lap record of
131.578mph AVERAGE lap speed for John
McGuinness. There’s also a popular double for
Yorkshire’s Ian Hutchinson, an emotional
return to the top step of the podium for the Dunlop
name and an unexpected, but thoroughly deserved,
victory for Steve Plater in the blue riband Senior
TT.
The review also records a stunning 14th TT victory
for sidecar legend Dave Molyneux during a TT packed
with emotional highs and lows for the three-wheel
crews. Incredible camera angles, aerial footage and
on-bike action are skilfully combined to bring you
the full story, with informed
commentary from ex-racers Steve Parrish and James
Whitham keeping you fully up to speed.
Plus, the Official Review takes you on-board at the
Lightweight and Ultra Lightweight TT races – held on
the 4.25-mile Billown Circuit – and takes a look at
the inaugural TTXGP. This was the first-ever race
for clean emission motorcycles, putting the Isle of
Man TT back at the cutting edge of racing technology
and making headlines around the world – the Official
Review’s special feature explains why TTXGP was such
an important and ground-breaking achievement.
As ever, the TT attracted some famous fans and the
Official Review features two of the biggest. There’s
an interview with legendary ‘Voice of Motorsport’
Murray Walker O.B.E. and the historic lap by MotoGP
great Valentino Rossi, the reigning World Champion
taking a break
from his busy schedule to achieve an ambition held
since childhood – lapping the TT course.
