Joey Dunlop The TT Wins

"This is almost certainly the ultimate Joey Dunlop DVD" Streetfighters

William Joseph Dunlop, O.B.E, M.B.E. - Isle of Man TT legend and the undisputed King of the Mountain.

This is the most comprehensive collection of action-packed race footage celebrating Joey’s victories at the TT ever gathered together. After an exhaustive search of our own and many other producers’ archives - as well as a worldwide appeal for footage - we bring you exceptional highlights from a staggering 24 of Joey’s record-breaking 26 TT wins.

While we have been unable to trace any race footage from his first win - the 1977 Jubilee TT - and the 1984 Formula One, the incredible film we have located charts a TT record which is unlikely ever to be bettered.

It shows Joey as a young charger, challenging and beating stars like Mick Grant and Roger Marshall, the ‘big bike’ glory years when Joey scored six F1 wins in a row and his domination of the 125cc and 250cc classes in the 1990s. We are reminded of how 'Yer Maun' overcame injury, horrendous weather, a missing exhaust and even a sunken boat to claim victory after victory, and stunned the racing world in 1995 when, as a 43-year-old, he won the Senior TT on the Honda RC45 - his first big bike win for almost a decade.

Share the excitement as he sees off young challengers like Carl Fogarty, Steve Hislop, David Jefferies and John McGuinness, remaining as determined as ever to add to his record-breaking tally of wins. In 2000, at the age of 48, he defied all the odds to take three TT wins in a week for the third time - the first man to achieve this incredible feat - and his seventh F1 victory after what many believe to be his greatest ever ride. Tragically this was to be his final TT, but it was a fitting end to Joey’s amazing relationship with the awe-inspiring Mountain Course.

Joey Dunlop - The TT Wins brings you action-packed highlights, including on-board footage, from these and many more history-making moments. Along the way we hear from Joey and his rivals, including brother Robert with whom he enjoyed some of his toughest battles in the Ultra-Lightweight TTs.

Mini at 50 Anniversary of an Icon

"Packed with highlights....interviews with Mini stalwarts such as Paddy Hopkirk and Russ Swift make this a worthwhile purchase" Motorsport News

Join the biggest gathering of Mini enthusiasts ever as the small car with a big personality turns 50.

In May 2009, more than 25,000 Mini fans from around the globe descended on the legendary Silverstone circuit for an extraordinary and action-packed celebration of the style icon that defied convention and became an instant classic.

This film gives you access all areas to the biggest ever Mini United festival. You get up close with classic, modern and modified Minis, hear from enthusiasts and famous fans, experience thrilling race and stunt action, plus discover what the future holds for this popular little car.

British Touring Car Champion and TV commentator Tim Harvey is our guide as we soak up the unique carnival atmosphere and become part of the ever-friendly Mini community as owners and fans explain the enduring popularity of this mould-breaking little wonder.

There’s a mouth-watering array of personalised Minis from around the world, original classics - including the very first to roll off the Oxford production line in 1959 - and the very latest John Cooper Works creation makes an appearance. Top stunt driver Russ Swift is on hand to demonstrate just how excellent the Mini’s handling is with his spectacular skills, and rally legend Paddy Hopkirk recalls his 1964 Monte-Carlo Rally victory, which set the Mini on the road to becoming a world-beater on the motorsport stage.

The highlights just keep coming as we enjoy this incredible birthday party: a world record for the biggest collection of the limited edition Mini GPs; classic and modern Minis in fast and furious racetrack action; a look into the future with a glimpse of the all-wheel-drive concept Mini and the electric-powered Mini E - there was just so much to enjoy at Mini United 09.

If you were there, this is an essential record - if you couldn’t make it, find out just what a birthday blast you missed!

"Mini at 50 is packed with highlights from the Mini United 09 festival held at Silverstone earlier this year. Like the actual event in May, the DVD blends road cars and motorsport, but interviews with Mini stalwarts such as Paddy Hopkirk and Russ Swift make this a worthwhile purchase for fans of the best-known small car in the world" Motorsport News
