Editorial Reviews:

Two best selling films from award winning directors David Wallace and David Wood, now on one DVD. First, The Road Racers. Pure road racing from the Emerald Isle. From the crackle of racing engines at full power during 'unofficial practice' to the spectacular rider's-eye-view of racing on roads barely wide enough to take a car - this is the real thing! Award-winning producer David Wallace skillfully documents a hectic Irish season starting at the Northwest 200 through the Cookstown 100 to the finale at Carrowdore. This highly acclaimed production takes you behind the scenes and into the lives of road racers Frank Kennedy, Mervyn Tobinson and Joey Dunlop as they prepare to tackle the twists and jumps, telegraph poles and pillars on public roads - at breathtaking speeds. In V Four Victory, you can experience the rider's-eye-view with legend Joey Dunlop. In 1983 Joey Dunlop and the Honda V4 were not only F1 World Champions, but were almost untouchable on closed public road circuits like the famous TT course. This film is a wonderful tribute to the fearless skill of Joey Dunlop, the greatest pure road racer of all time and the cameras capture him in action at the TT and on the mighty Dundrod circuit at the Ulster GP. Unmissable race action is followed by some of the most stunning on-bike footage ever recorded as producer David Wood strapped a full-size 16 mm camera on top of Joey's fuel tank and filmed 'Yer Maun' on a blast around the TT course. The resulting footage is an awesome record of Joey's speed and talent. Exclusive features on this DVD include interviews and profiles on producers David Wallace and David Wood, and a photo gallery.
