The Review is being released on DVD (Amazon.co.uk) and on a special edition Blu Ray and DVD box set (Amazon.co.uk).

And here is the official blurb:
The Official Review of the 2011 Isle of Man will be packed with jaw-dropping action from around the legendary 37.73-mile road course, plus all the usual interviews, behind-the-scenes access and bonus features.

The 2011 TT promises to be one of the most competitive ever, with top riders and leading teams lining up to take on the challenge.

The great John McGuinness also returns and will be looking to get back on the top step of the podium after last year’s disappointment, adding yet more victories to his 15-win tally.

Former TAS Suzuki teammates Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald, both TT winners, have new challenges for 2011 — Anstey is with Padgetts and Donald has moved to with Wilson Craig.

Back in the TAS squad, Guy Martin is the new recruit — he’ll be looking to put the 170mph crash of last year behind him and finally land that elusive first TT win.

Plus, Keith Amor, Michael and William Dunlop, Ryan Farquhar and Michael Rutter will be among the stars hoping to battle for victories in 2011.

There’s also a wealth of talented newcomers due to line up for the 2011 TT, including short circuit ace Simon Andrews.

The three-wheel racing will also be scintillating, with Austrian Klaus Klaffenbock back with Dan Sayle and determined to defend the double sidecar TT wins he scored last year.

Stunning trackside and aerial camera work will be skilfully combined with the very best on-board footage to give you the ultimate view of the TT course and let you share every moment of excitement from every race.

The Official Review will also include interviews with the stars, plenty of bonus material and a look at some of the off-track excitement. There’ll also be plenty of coverage of the star-studded events organised to mark the 100th anniversary of racing on the Mountain course and Yamaha’s 50th anniversary.

This documentary was made by Mark Sloper, and it primarily follows the career of Tommy Hill in the 2010 British Superbikes season. The film also follows the hopes and expectations of James Ellison, Josh Brookes, and Gary Mason throughout the whole 2010 BSB season.

The documentary provides a great portrait of each of the riders and reveals what each of them has been through to get to where they are today, and takes an unflinching look at what they have left to fight for and prove.

Director Mark Sloper said:
“I wanted to capture the emotion and passion of motorcycle racing – a classic motorcycle racing film that might be set in the 2010 season but can still be fresh in years to come. I also wanted it to appeal to people outside of the motorcycle industry and fan-base. And I wanted to try and change outsiders’ perceptions of motorcycling”.

Here is the official blurb:
“The film intimately follows the great British hope, Tommy Hill, a fearless racer who cheated trackside death at 14 years old. His parents have sacrificed their home, holidays and all finances to support his burning ambition to be Britain’s number 1 superbike racer.

I SUPERBIKER tracks James Ellison, the northern heartthrob who came second in 2009, and HAS to win to save his career. Newly married to his American sweetheart, he too has made incredible personal sacrifices to race, and now permanently lives in his mobile trailer in the remote Lake District to fulfil his dream of lifting the coveted crown.

The documentary also looks at Gary Mason, the ex privateer now racing on a factory Kawasaki bike who has everything to prove and everything to lose. The oldest racer amongst our characters, his career has been on a downward spiral, the 2010 season will be his last unless he can pull in the results.

And finally Josh ‘Bad Boy’ Brookes, the black leather clad Australian out to steal the crown from the British hopefuls. The racer that arrived from Down Under in 2009 was quickly banned for reckless behaviour, causing untold carnage at many race meetings.”
