Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Forever Sideways... Comment: Given the close proximity of this DVD release to the death of McRae you can be forgiven for thinking this is one of those cheap "cash in" efforts, on the contrary however, this DVD was already being compiled as a document of his life in the weeks prior to his death. It is this which really makes the main feature of the DVD that much more poignant, as instead of other people discussing his life story, it is being told by McRae himself. The main bulk of the DVD comprises a comprehensive history of McRae's career in motorsport, interspersed with interviews from colleagues, friends and the great man himself. The main feature concludes with a detailed review of his most recent projects, including a look at the R4 and its debut performance at Goodwood. A number of extras are also included and, as with the main feature, all of these are high quality, well edited segments of footage. In terms of the technical aspects of the DVD I can find no fault either. Some Duke titles I've owned in the past have had inaccurate commentary, poor menus and rubbish audio, but this DVD can be accused of none of these. My only minor gripe (and this is MINOR), is that there isn't more footage of some of his latter motorsport endeavours (Dakar, Le Mans etc.), but I appreciate that a DVD only has so much space on it and that the rally footage is most deserving. I was lucky enough to see McRae driving at his last public performance; but irrespective of whether you saw him in action on a stage, on TV, or if you're a motorsport fan whose never seen him at all, I cannot recommend this DVD enough. Customer Rating: Summary: R.I.P Colin McRae Comment: Excellent DVD. Great review of his career including up close and personal interviews and moments at his home in Lanark. Tragedy that you are gone and you are being sadly missed. R.I.P a true Scottish great! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Tribute to a great sportsman Comment: This DVD just makes Colin's loss the greater as it shows his journey to maturity from motorsport hot-head to happy and contented family guy. After spending many years watching his incredible driving first hand in the freezing bowels of numerous forest stages I find this to be a great tribute to one of the worlds all time greatest competitors. Customer Rating: Summary: Simply Great Comment: A very moving and well produced tribute to the great man. A must for all fans.
