This documentary produced by the Learning Channel gives a comprehensive and exciting overview of contemporary motor sports. A segment on Indy cars focuses on Michael Andretti and his father, racing legend Mario Andretti, and features interviews with a financial backer of their team, actor Paul Newman. A look at off-road racing features a biographical sketch of driver Ivan Stewart, and a feature on drag racing centers on Shelly Anderson, a female racer who energetically describes the feeling of rocketing down a drag strip at speeds topping 300 miles per hour. The centerpiece of the documentary is a thorough look at NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, who is known and feared on the racing circuit as "the Intimidator." Earnhardt's difficulty at winning stock-car racing's Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, is chronicled, and the preparations he made and his eventual 1998 triumph at Daytona are shown in detail. Instead of focusing only on the drivers, this documentary takes the insightful approach of showing how an entire race team works together, and the interviews with Earnhardt's team, including the pit crew, are illuminating. This is an intelligently constructed documentary, and though it is lengthy (nearly two hours), the pace is fittingly fast. --Robert J. McNamara

Customer Reviews of Super Racers
Good DVD for any racing fan This is a good DVD for any racing enthusiast. This is the same documentary that was shown on The Learning Channel a couple of times and is very interesting and informative. It features segments that take an inside look at the technical aspect of racing and the cars featured in the NASCAR Winston Cup series, the Winston Top Fuel drag racing series and the CART Fed Ex Championship series of which I am a fan of and is the reason why I bought the DVD. The segment on the CART series features an inside look at the Newman/Hass team of Michael Andretti and Christian Fittipaldi. Also featured is some very good technical information about how Champ Cars work and racing setup etc. It features footage from Homestead and The 1998 Long Beach Grand Prix. Mario Andretti is interviewed and some vintage footage of him racing is also shown. I didn't get a chance to watch the NASCAR or the Drag Racing segment but I'm sure they are just as interesting. The DVD is featured in 5.1 and DTS so if you have a good system then this will sound pretty good. Overall, a pretty good DVD.
