Join us for the official, action-packed review of one of the
most scintillating seasons of road racing ever. This is the best
between-the-hedges racing from four of the fastest and most demanding meetings
on the 2009 calendar, filled with heart-pounding highlights from the
hardest-fought races.
Follow Ryan Farquhar’s path to yet another victory in the
Duke Road Race Rankings series, experience the new generation of Dunlop
brothers keeping the family rivalry alive and witness some of the closest
finishes in history – including a 0.001 second gap at the chequered flag!
First up is the Cookstown 100, and what a curtain-raiser the
County Tyrone meeting proved. From the off it
was all about Farquhar versus Keith Amor on the big bikes and Michael against
William in the two-stroke battle of the Dunlops. Exceptional footage, including
plenty from on the bikes of Amor, Conor Cummins and John Burrows, brings you
all the breathtaking highlights from six races.
Next we travel to Tandragee for another five elbow-to-elbow
contests. The battle lines are re-drawn as we enjoy fast and furious thrills
from the 125s and 250s, the Superbikes, Supersports and Supertwins – with
Farquhar, Amor and the Dunlops again in the thick of it. Multiple on-board
camera angles with flying Scot Amor show you exactly how close the racing was!
The Billown Circuit on the Isle of Man
hosted the Southern 100, and laid on some of the tightest racing possible. With
grids swollen by the likes of Ian Lougher, Guy Martin and Chris Palmer, the
scene was set for spectacular action – and the cameras were there to capture
it. You will be on the edge of your seat as the Supersport 600 is decided by
just 0.047 of a second, a last corner lunge earns victory in the Senior Solo
Founders and the unpredictable Solo Championship race goes right down to the
wire.
Our season review concludes at Dundrod with the Ulster Grand
Prix. The International event attracted more stars, including Ian Hutchinson
and Bruce Anstey, and produced nail-biting racing. Just tenths – and I one case
thousandths – of a second made the difference as the fastest road race in the
world lives up to it’s reputation. Once again, the cameras were there to
capture all the spectacular action – including on-board footage which will have
you leaping out of your seat.
Alongside
the white-knuckle action footage, we have interviews with all the stars, a chat
with road racing legend Phillip McCallen and complete on-board laps courtesy of
Amor and the Dunlop brothers Michael and William.
