Only Good Because It Is The Only Choice
These season reviews are great if, like me, you like seeing off track stuff as much as the races because that is what they are mostly. If you are a knowledgeable fan looking for some moving images of a year you can only otherwise read about in books, go for it, although the £15+ price is not such good value.

A good seasons racing, Missed largely on this DVD
I own many of these titles from the Brunswick archives and I am mostly pleased to have them, they are the only way to see the formula one scene as it was from 1970 to 1980. In many ways I feel that formula one was better in this period for out and out racing, wheel to wheel action and before money rules and sponsors took away many of the reasons why we watched formula one in the first place, action!. These DVD's however are frustrating beyond belief as no actual real racing action is captured on them as Brunswick only use there own footage taken often from one corner on the track and it shows, painfully badly. Nothing worse than watching the drivers put on their helmets for five minutes, sit on the start line waiting for the lights, only for the picture to pause and the announcer to say "And Piquet won the race" So where was the race, let me see it, please !!! While races are omitted there is also the totally dreadful der,der,der,der der, der der der der music as the results are being shown, trust me it drives you mad, it will have you screaming for the remote to turn it down. Why cant they use TV footage, lets have a BBC Grand Prix style DVD using their own footage. In summary, its great to see the old drivers (many no longer with us sadly) and reminisce, but these DVD's are poor for any real race action, oh and the Arnoux, Villeneurve classic at Dijon is nowhere to be seen.

They've missed the best bits out!
This DVD starts dissappointingly on the 3rd round of the championship, so you are already left feeling short changed.You are then further let down when there is no coverage of the last laps of the best race of the season in France (the battle between Arnoux and Villeneuve), although it is mentioned as a close finish!!
The DVD 'extras' are merely ads for other products.
