THE BATTLE OF BRITAINS
The ultra-competitive World Touring Car Championship title chase went right
down to the wire in 2007, with Brits Andy Priaulx and James Thompson battling
for the crown to the bitter end.
Now you can relive the awesome action from all 22 races as the WTCC stars
travel to 11 countries on three continents in pursuit of the ultimate prize in
tin top racing.
The Official DVD Review of the ‘07 WTCC season is packed with
bumper-to-bumper racing, high speed passes, spectacular crashes, controversy,
drama and more.
The best camera angles, and plenty of on-board footage, put you at the heart of
the action as the finest touring car drivers on Earth battle it out on classic
circuits, including Brands Hatch and Monza.
Don’t miss the rain-hit drama in the Netherlands, the multi-car mayhem
in Spain, the first WTCC win for a diesel-powered car, Austria’s start
line collision, Priaulx’s incredible home victory and, of course, the
simply unbelievable last race battle for the championship.
With a field featuring former Formula One drivers like Alex Zanardi and Nicola
Larini, touring car favourites such as Yvan Muller, Gabriele Tarquini and Alain
Menu and some of the best rising stars around, the WTCC always guarantees
fireworks – and the Official DVD Review is packed with explosive moments!
Guernsey’s Priaulx was bidding to take his BMW to a third straight World
Championship, and started the season as title favourite. However, the WTCC
series is never predictable and in the first six races there were five different
winners – and Priaulx wasn’t one of them!
However, his incredible consistency and a late season charge put the
33-year-old in the mix.
Going into the final two races six drivers could still win the championship,
with Priaulx and his closest rival tied at the top of the standings. The drama
continued into the very last laps as Priaulx showed the skills which had earned
him back-to-back WTCC crowns, and captured him a third straight championship.
Experience one of the closest-fought championships in the world in more than
three hours of the very best action-packed footage in the Official DVD Review.
