Description:
The History of the TT
It began as a test of motorcycle reliability and grew into the world’s greatest road racing festival. For over 90years the TT has attracted the best and bravest riders to challenge the various TT courses epitomized by the mighty 37.73 mile Mountain Circuit. Now you can explore the heritage and legend of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races in this historically significant DVD.
Superb footage, interviews and narrative tell the story of the TT from its beginnings in 1907. Based on the highly-acclaimed three part Isle of Man TT Races video set (1907-1996), the DVD contains revised, updated and extended footage plus additional material featuring the years up to and including 2006 with epic footage of the “Morecambe Missile” John McGuinness, who won 3 of the 4 solo races, setting outright lap records and edging to within 0.55mph on the mythic 130mph lap.
The production team scoured thousand of hours of film and archive footage and recorded dozens of interviews with riders and personalities to bring you these memorable sights and sounds, and there’s even a special tribute to biking hero Joey Dunlop. We feature the very first races and there is action from every year from 1920 onwards plus every Senior Race winner. This really is the complete story – the challenge and the glory; the famous names and memorable races; the excitement and unique drama – celebrated on one magnificent DVD.
