Extraordinary and awe-inspiring – the only way to describe these amazing films from the Isle of Man TT.
Duke is delighted to announce the release of You’re On Your Own and From Bray to Governor’s on DVD for the first time.
You’re On Your Own takes you closer to iconic riders than ever before, allowing you to share their fears, hopes and laughter as teams prepare for the 1982 Formula One TT.
Charting the battle between Suzuki and Honda for the honours, this revealing documentary offers unprecedented access to top riders, including Mick Grant, Ron Haslam, Joey Dunlop and Roger Marshall.
Join the teams as they prepare for practice and experience first-hand the mechanical woes and the stomach-churning tension as teams, friends and family wait for riders to return from the fabled 37¾-mile Mountain Circuit.
Out on the road, the riders are on their own – but this film, using staggering on-board and trackside footage, allows you to join their personal battles with the TT circuit.
As well as sharing light-hearted moments with the riders, this film reflects on the darker side of this extraordinary event – including revealing insights from Mick Grant’s wife Carol and a first-hand account from Marshall after he dices with disaster at high speed.
You’re On Your Own captures the drama of the Formula One race, from the gut-wrenching tension in the minutes before the off to Haslam’s celebrations after scoring his first TT win. From Bray to Governor’s puts you on board with Mick Grant as he talks you around a lap of the
TT circuit.
The footage puts you firmly in the saddle – viewing the course from the fly-splattered camera you can almost feel the Suzuki being buffeted by the wind as the hedges, roadside walls and houses that line the legendary race circuit flash by with a phenomenal sense of speed.
Grant reveals the skills and tips which made him a seven-times master of the circuit as he produces a masterclass in tackling the Isle of Man TT.
These films are a fascinating record of an important piece of this 100-year-old event’s heritage.
