What's most interesting about this video is the antique footage. The older and very heavy stock cars provide some interesting off-roading on the dirt tracks, though there aren't quite so many pile-ups. I was rather pleased with the early F1 and stock car films, if video qualtiy isn't a big issue, and this DVD works up through the decades quite steadily. What was quite disappointing is the lack of modern footage, as the coverage stops in the late 70's, and the fact almost all the natural sound has been patched over with crummy snippets from a generic sound effects CD, as well as the obviously inexperienced narrator (who is easy to ignore, thankfully). There's also a let-down for auto fans, as the whole "side B" is reserved for repetitive, unnarrated clips of people slipping off their motorbikes. The bikini contest is hardly tame and has some good camera shots. Overall, a good party video, if you cut the audio and run music in the background. :)
