5.0 out of 5 stars far and away the best account ever of porsche racing history, December 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Victory By Design:the Porsche Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The best of the best. Porsche pulls out all the stops and highlights their museum collection with modern and historic racing footage. Fantasic settings and accounts of the "glory days" at Le Mans, Daytona, Nurbergring, Targa Floria etc. Interviews with Jackie Icyxx, Brian Redman, Sterling Moss, Hans Stuck, et. al. If you love porsches you'll watch it over and over.

4.0 out of 5 stars great footage, January 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Victory By Design:the Porsche Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Alain de Cadenet is an engaging and qualified (having raced for Porsche and Ferrari, among others, in the 60's and 70's) host of this video which chronicles Porsche's racing from the beginning to the present. All the great cars are here: 904, 908, 917, 935, 962. Fantastic footage, particularly of the 60's - the segment with Brian Redman driving us through the Targa Florio is great. If there's anything to fault, it's the audio: mostly too soft and unfortunately does not capture the wonderful engine noises. The last few minutes where Alain talks about the Boxster and 996 are shot in video as opposed to film, and seem tacked-on and a bit too commercial. Otherwise, an excellent documentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Enthusiast Video, October 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Victory By Design:the Porsche Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I wathced this video while it was aired on Speedvision. It is the Porsche lovers dream come true. It does end rather ubruptly with the 986 Boxter and Late Model 911 information. However, Alain de Cadenet provides excellent narration and hands on driving experiences throughout the entire film. The cars reviewed in the film are absolutely of the highest concours quality.
