Product Description
The Official DVD Review of the 2009 Isle of Man TT features almost two hours of race action, fascinating interviews and plenty of bonus features. For the first time the awesome racing from the world s greatest road races can now be enjoyed in unrivalled high definition, thanks to Blu-ray Disc technology. This is the first time the TT has been available on Blu-ray, offering fans an exceptional viewing experience. The 2009 Isle of Man TT Official Review delivers comprehensive coverage of a record-breaking event, with edge-of-the-seat drama from every race, special features and informed commentary from Steve Parrish and James Whitham. Produced for the first time by North One Television, there s more on-board cameras with top riders than ever before and the slow-motion sequences recorded with the Hi-Motion camera are a spellbinding innovation. The skill it takes to control 240bhp superbikes at over 190mph has never been so spectacularly captured. Experience every vital moment, including John McGuinness scoring his 15th TT win and setting a new outright lap record - an average speed of 131.578mph around the 37.73-mile course. There s the unforgettable PokerStars Senior TT triumph by Steve Plater, the fearsome battles between Ian Hutchinson and Guy Martin, the heartbreak of Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald, the emotional return of the Dunlop name to the winner s step and much more. Plus, Sidecar legend Dave Molyneux s 14th TT win and the inaugural TTXGP - a race for clean emission motorcycles which once again put the TT at the forefront of motorcycle technology. Dramatic action, incredible on-board footage, interviews and behind-the-scenes features make this the essential record of another historic year for the Isle of Man TT.

The new TV company that is behind the TT coverage for 2009 has produced a DVD of its TV broadcast. There are no extras on here that weren't shown on normal TV, and it is much shorter than recent TT reviews. The Producers also seem obsessed with slow motion replays, which get quite tedious after a while.
Having said that, the quality if pretty good and if you didn't see the TT coverage on TV, then this is a must. For anyone expecting anything over and above the TV coverage, look elsewhere!

Have to agree with the other reviewers, the footage of this years TT event looks stunning captured in HD. This is now my reference/test disc for showing other people what blu ray/HD is all about. Even if you're not a bike fan, but perhaps appreciate motorsport, buy it! Not only is there insane motorbike racing, but the scenery that is captured in HD is stunning. The bits that stood out for me are the mountain section, and through the leafy villages. One particular bit was with riders trying to dodge a hare in the road! I especially liked the super slo-mo cameras in HD, which capture the bikes and riders at critical moments, in HD, and you can see every part of the bike twisting and flexing under stress. Superb! Personally, I can't wait to see more motorsport/sport discs like this appearing in the next year!

IoM TT Review 2009
Having watched TT racing close up, at the circuit, it must be the ultimate 'high' for a bike racer, to be passing trees, houses and brick walls by a whisker, at 100+ mph. Read more
