2008 FIA World Rally Championship released on DVD

A THRILLING RECORD OF A TRULY RECORD-BREAKING YEAR

You can now relive the thrills and spills of the awesome 2008 World Rally Championship in the Official DVD Review.

This is the definitive record of a season which proved a real record-breaker. The action-packed DVD brings you highlights from all 15 rounds of the championship, with spectacular footage, including plenty from on board the cars, delivering the full story.

Citroen superstar Sebastien Loeb not only claimed a record-breaking fifth World Rally Championship title, he also re-wrote the record book along way, including becoming the first driver in WRC history to win 11 events in one season, win the same event seven times in a row, the first to win the Monte-Carlo rally five times and in Argentina four times.

He dominated the 2008 season, proving his skills in all conditions and on every terrain.

Loeb wasn’t the only record-breaker. Title rival Mikko Hirvonen, who headed the championship battle early in the season, became the first driver to score points in every single round. Ford teammate Jari-Matti Latvala also claimed his place in history when he became the youngest person ever to win a WRC event.

The best camera angles, plus plenty of on-board and in-car footage, bring viewers all the vital action, controversy and shocking smashes from another dramatic season.

The bizarre head-on crash which forced Loeb out of the inaugural Jordan rally, Gigi Galli’s leg-breaking smash, the demanding frozen stages of Rally GB, the exceptional consistency of Hirvonen on snow, gravel, tarmac, ice and mud – every essential moment is featured on the Official DVD Review.

This was also the year the WRC bid a fond farewell to an icon – the Subaru Impreza saloon which had been a popular fixture for 15 years. At the Acropolis Rally the familiar Impreza was replaced by the new-look hatchback version, and viewers can join team boss David Richards and drivers Chris Atkinson and Petter Solberg for a close-up look at the new challenger, as well as a look back at its predecessor.  

The Official DVD Review is the ultimate way to relive the extraordinary 2008 World Rally Championship season.
