Hours of fun for F1 addicts, this official Formula One 2000 World Championship Review has neat interactive menu options that let the viewer switch back and forth between a number of perspectives during each race. First select the race you want to see, then choose either the "Continuous Version" (which runs highlights of each race) or the "Interactive Version," which is the really interesting bit. This lets you select the view from the on-board cameras or the trackside cameras, watch the reactions in the pit lane, or even see continually updated race data statistics. Gimmicks aside, this was a vintage F1 season anyway. From Australia to waterlogged Silverstone to the first American F1 race since 1991 at Indianapolis and beyond, 2000 was the year that Michael Schumacher gave Ferrari the Constructor's Championship for the first time in 20 years, not to mention winning the Driver's title for himself. --Mark Walker

Product Description

All the excitement and exhilarating drama of the F1 Grand Prix 2000 season is contained on this disc featuring over 4 hours of footage. Every race is featured, starting with the pre-race build up. Select the interactive option and you can use the On Board Camera, join the action in the pits, or see the race data on screen. With cameras trackside and mounted on the cars facing front, rear, and at low level, action is captured from every angle. Put yourself in the center of the greatest motorsport event, hang on, and enjoy the ride!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best, But Come On! It's a FORMULA ONE DVD!!!, November 6, 2002

By	Kevin Nieman "Writer / Provocateur" (Moorpark, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay, this DVD cannot allow you to view every race summary of the 2000 F1 World Championship Series continuously. It's a minor flaw, in my opinion, and it's why remote controls were invented!

The race summaries may leave you wanting, panting, even drooling for more, but to actually GET more, you'd have had to acquire a PADDOCK PASS for every F1 track on the calendar. (And, if you had that kind of access, what the heck are you doing online? Shouldn't you be in Monaco playing baccarat against James Bond?)

Yes, this DVD is far from perfect, but it is still an awesome disc for any Formula One fan, and the very minor flaws are not enough to ignore this quality product.

When you pop in the disc, you must first click the flag corresponding to the 2000 F1 race you wish to view. Then, you are directed to a menu for "CONTINUOUS" or "INTERACTIVE" viewing. "CONTINUOUS" plays every feature from beginning to end on that circuit, while "INTERACTIVE" allows you to watch any of the features at any point of the race. I usually choose "CONTINUOUS." At the next menu, you can choose to watch a summary of the race, a wider view from secondary cameras, an in-car camera, coverage of cars pitting during the race, or highlights of the "onboard computer" that shows the order of the cars during the races.

Let me tell you that I watched this DVD with great enthusiasm and satisfaction. I devoured the video highlights and the other extras, and it will take you some time to get through them all. The sounds are top notch, the picture is digital-quality, and the summaries give you a great sense of being there that many of us did not have in 2000.

Others have criticized this DVD for being what they felt it SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Unfortunately, it won't please everybody, and I'm not here to shout down the detractors. However, you are given so much quality video on this disc that criticizing it is almost ridiculous.

It's not all it could be, but it is MORE than enough to satisfy your hunger for Formula One sounds and visuals.

For quality Formula One coverage, it's the best-bet around, folks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Real F1 Enthusiasts, February 19, 2002

By A Customer

Great DVD for a great Formula One Season. Different Options: Super, Track, On-board Camera(OBC), Pits and Data. All of them are good except for Data which doesn't give any useful or interesting information.

Would love to see more OBC clips (complete laps). Should've covered qualifying and should've give a point standings at end and/or beg of each round to provide a better insight on complete season fight for title.

Lack of interviews also kept this DVD on 4 star rating.

This DVD is worth the 17 Dollars for sure, but would appeal to knowledgable fans more than the casual racing fan.
