The 2009 MSA British Rally Championship delivered fast and furious drama over every mile of gravel and tarmac – and now you can share the excitement, and all the thrills and spills, of a gripping title battle.
This is the complete story of the down-to-the wire championship fight, with comprehensive coverage of all six rounds of the BRC season. Superb footage, including plenty from inside the cars, puts you in the hot seat as we follow the edge-of-the-seat title showdown, while interviews with the stars ensure you get the full stories behind the special stage drama.
Three-times British Champion Mark Higgins started the season as favourite, but the veteran would face a strong challenge from a field full of young chargers. As the season got underway on the slippery stages of North Wales, it was Irishman Keith Cronin, with co-driver Greg Shinnors, who emerged as the greatest threat – taking his Mitsubishi Evo 9 to the narrowest of victories over the Subaru Impreza of Manxman Higgins and co-driver Bryan Thomas.
The pair would trade blows throughout the season, sharing the points lead after the fourth round in the Isle of Man. When Cronin got too close for comfort to the scenery in Ulster, the scene was set for the most thrilling finale – and we bring you every vital, heart-in-the-mouth highlight from the Yorkshire showdown.
The title would be decided in the most dramatic of fashions, and the in-car footage in the official review lets you share the heartbreak – and the bone-shaking smash – which saw the BRC crown a new champion.
The British Championship can always be relied on for fireworks, and the official review is packed with all the unmissable moments, including Molly Taylor’s hedge-leaping in the Isle of Man, Alastair Fisher carrying on the family tradition and defending champion Guy Wilks’ blazing back into action. Plus, there’s a complete in-car stage from the Ulster International courtesy of Higgins.
Robbie Head, Mike Brewer and Jon Desborough are our guides as we experience the complete story of 2009 MSA British Rally Championship.
"Relive the classic scrap for British Rally honours between Subaru veteran Mark Higgins (bidding for a fourth crown) and Mitsubishi upstart Keith Cronin (out for his first) in over four hours of action. All six rallies - Bulldog, Pirelli, Jim Clark, Isle of Man, Ulster and Yorkshire - are here. Top stuff!" Autosport

F1 1980 Double First Williams and Jones
Uploaded on Feb 02, 2004 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may download1980. The new decade brought a record number of entries for the start of the season. Expectations were high that the champions of ’79, Ferrari and Jody Scheckter, could be beaten. Enter Team Williams and Alan Jones - the new force in a bright new era for Formula One racing.
But it took the entire season before the victory was in the bag. Jones took the opening race, but then faltered. Brabham’s Nelson Piquet took advantage in the interim, completing a spectacular double in the Dutch and US GPs to lead the championship with two races remaining. It was up to Williams and Jones to pull out all the stops to seize the title.
Brunswick Films were one of the few producers filming Formula One in the days before global TV coverage and official season review videos. The previously unseen footage from their famous archive has been utilised to create a review packed with on-the-limit driving (including an in-car lap of Brands Hatch), great close-ups of the major personalities and intriguing paddock-side discussions that give the sense of a story unfolding as the season progresses – the story of ‘car wars’ and the battle between set-up, streamlining and engine power.
It all makes for a truly candid account of a pivotal year in this great sport.
F1 1979 - Maranello Mastery
Uploaded on May 24, 2004 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may download1979 saw Carlos Reutemann move to partner Mario Andretti at Lotus as Jody Scheckter took his seat at Ferrari. Wolf filled the gap left by Scheckter with James Hunt, and McLaren gave John Watson a drive in place of Hunt.
The type 79 ‘wing car’ had offered Lotus a great advantage in aerodynamic grip during the previous season. But for this year, many of the teams had incorporated the technology into their designs. Over the first two races Ligier appeared to have made up the most ground with Jacques Laffite taking the victories. In round 3, Ferrari laid down the team’s intentions, giving the new 312T4 model its successful debut.
As the season progressed Williams’ reliability improved and Alan Jones demonstrated the team’s pace, winning four out of the last six races. For Williams and Jones it was too little too late. The consistent performances from the Ferrari team had paid off, and despite only having three victories throughout the season, Scheckter took the title.
1979 also saw Formula One say its goodbyes to two of the decade’s greatest characters: James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Hunt quit racing after the Monaco Grand Prix claiming to be fed up with Formula One, and Lauda retired at the penultimate Grand Prix in Montreal.

F1 1978 - Magic Mario
Uploaded on May 24, 2004 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may download1978 Ferrari and Lauda had now gone their separate ways despite winning the championship together in ‘77. Lauda moved to Brabham and Ferrari took on the young Gilles Villeneuve. Frank Williams and Patrick Head formed Williams Grand Prix Engineering, mounting their first title challenge with Alan Jones in the driving seat.
Tyrrell had reverted back to four wheels from their radical six-wheeled P34, and this year it was Brabham who turned heads with the introduction of their BT-46B ‘fan car’. On its first Grand Prix in Sweden it took first place only to be banned from future competition by the FIA.
The Lotus Type 79 ‘wing car’ was regarded as the best outfit, piloted by the experienced pairing of Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson. The Lotus team capitalised on their advantage and with two rounds left to race, it was only Peterson that had any chance of catching Andretti. Formula One still hadn’t made safety a paramount concern, and at Monza it paid the price. An early crash left Peterson with fatal injuries, delivering another blow to Formula One and reaffirming the need for tighter controls. This tragedy gave Andretti the title and despite not finishing at Watkins Glen and coming 10th in Montreal, Lotus had secured enough points to take the constructors title by 28 points.

F1 1977 - Lauda Comeback
Uploaded on May 24, 2004 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may download1977 saw Niki Lauda start the season, scarred but fit. And determined to put his horrific accident in ’76 behind him.
The first race of the season, in Argentina, provided a maiden victory for the Wolf team, which was followed by an extremely successful debut season, ending with Jody Scheckter taking second place in the championship.
The season didn’t start so well for Lauda, and it wasn’t until the third round that he secured his first victory. However, his celebrations at Kyalami were muted, as the safety regulations in Formula One were once again brought into question. Young Welsh driver Tom Pryce was killed instantly in a collision with a marshal, crossing the track to assist with a retired car. The marshal also died.
Despite Lauda’s poor start and total of only three wins for the season, he picked up points at all but three GPs, and was rewarded for his consistency with his second championship victory. The title was secured with two races left to run, and with relationships between driver and team frail, Lauda chose not to complete the season. Instead Ferrari gave the drive to a young and ambitious Gilles Villeneuve.

F1 Review 1976 Hunt for the Title
Uploaded on May 24, 2009 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may downloadFormula One 1976 Review - Hunt for the Title is the DVD review of the 1976 Formula 1 season. This was the year when Britain's James Hunt, in the McLaren, amazingly clinched the Formula One Drivers Championship during the final Grand Prix of the season in Japan.
The reigning Champion, Niki Lauda in the Ferrari, started the 1976 season as the favourite for the Championship. His nearest rival, Emerson Fittipaldi, made the patriotic switch from McLaren to the Brazilian funded Copersucar team. This left a hole at McLaren... it was filled by the ambitious British hopeful with the playboy image, James Hunt, to set the scene for a dramatic season of racing.
Tyrrell stole the limelight early on in the season, not for their results, but through the unveiling of their revolutionary six-wheeled P34 - it certainly was a unique sight to F1 fans. Hunt quickly adapted to life at McLaren and, unfazed by Lauda's early dominance, continued to pick up valuable points and podium finishes.
The 1976 season however will probably be best remembered for Niki Lauda's horrific accident at the Nurburgring that nearly ended his life and saw him rushed to hospital with major burns. His resilience and dedication to racing saw him make a remarkable recovery, returning six weeks later to ensure a thrilling climax to a season that ended with only one point separating 1st and 2nd place in the championship. Again it was the last eventful race in the rain in Japan that decided the title.

The 1976 Formula 1 season is perfectly summarised in this 52 minute DVD using archive footage from Brunswick Films. The review is a wonderful piece of Grand Prix nostalgia in which the dashing James Hunt, driving for McLaren, thrillingly clinched the 1976 Formula One Drivers Championship on the final Grand Prix of the season.

This was the year when the prancing horse got its spring back, when Niki Lauda in the new Ferrari 312T won the Formula One Drivers Championship.
1975 was the year when the prancing horse got its spring back. The early decade had been a challenging period for Ferrari, as they struggled to find a body shape that would do justice to the brute force of the V12 engine. Enter Niki Lauda and his brand new car - the Ferrari 312T. It proved to be an irresistible combination that would be unstoppable.
However, it wasn’t plain sailing all the way. 1975 was an unsettled season, full of disagreements and problems that saw four races stopped prematurely for safety reasons and the Canadian GP cancelled over money issues.
Niki Lauda shone through these gloomy times, winning four out of five mid-season Grand Prix to take the Championship away from his closest rival and defending champion Emerson Fittipaldi. When he secured the championship/constructor double in front of a frenzied Italian crowd at Monza, the world knew that Ferrari was back.

F1 Review 1974 Down to the last lap
Uploaded on May 24, 2004 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may download1974 was the year of change in Formula One. Defending champion Jackie Stewart had retired from racing, creating a power vacuum that sucked a host of racers, old and new, into the battle for the Championship.
And what a season! Predicting the outcome of each race was impossible as the drivers battled to come to terms with closer racing brought about by faster cars with better tyres. It was reliability as much as driving skill that kept the leaderboard in a state of constant flux. By the final race of the season Emerson Fittipaldi (McLaren), Clay Regazzoni (Ferrari) and Jody Scheckter (Tyrrell) were locked in a fascinating three-way battle for the title. It went right down to the wire.
This film doesn’t just show the action from the season – it tells the story. Pit-lane cameras eavesdrop on intimate conversations between the engineers and drivers as they discuss set-up and tyres, revealing a world markedly different from contemporary Formula One.

F1 Review 1973 Reign of Stewart

This was the year when the legendary Jackie Stewart was crowned as F1 champion for the third and final time.
Jackie Stewart had won the Formula One championship in 1971 but Emerson Fittipaldi was the reigning champion. At the start of the 1973 F1 season there was no question regarding his intention, Jackie Stewart wanted his title back.
It was Fittipaldi who laid down the gauntlet, winning three out of the first four races. However, Stewart refused to buckle under pressure, and consistent displays of driving genius with the Tyrrell wondercar brought him right back into contention. By the halfway point of the season, Stewart led the Championship by a single point.
From this, he turned on the style, transforming his slender lead into something that was simply unassailable. He retired from Grand Prix racing at the end of the season as champion – with his position as one of the all-time greats assured.
There was more to the season than the battle between the big guns. Safety regulations made a big impact on car design – but not on safety – as fatalities unfortunately returned to the championship.
