Duke to release MotoGP in Blu-ray for the first time

by isleofman.com 15th October 2010

ISLE of Man company Duke is to bring out the 2010 MotoGP review on Blu-ray - the first time a MotoGP review will have been released in the high-definition format.

 

The company will, as usual, be releasing the review as a standard DVD as well.

 

Duke managing director Peter Duke said: "Duke brought motorsport into the Blu-ray era in 2009 with the official review of the Isle of Man TT which we believe was the first motorsport event review of any type to be released in this format.


"Now we have agreed with Dorna (MotoGP commercial rights holder) to bring Motorcycle Grand Prix to Blu-ray, so fans with HD TVs can experience the review like never before.

 

"I'd describe it as at least as significant a jump in picture quality as we achieved in switching from VHS tape to DVD 10 years ago.

 

"The pictures with Blu-ray are just stunning. In the 2010 MotoGP Review you see the action from multiple camera angles, go onboard the bikes at huge speeds just inches from each other and witness every essential highlight from every round – all in jaw-dropping HD.


"We are delighted to be setting the trend in powersport entertainment with the TT and now MotoGP reviews.

 

"We know some customers don't own a Blu-ray player yet, but plan to in the future, which is why we also include a standard DVD in with the Blu-ray disc so you can enjoy it straight away and won't have to pay all over again when you do invest in Blu-ray technology.

 

"We are even offering a Blu-ray player and the MotoGP 2010 Review Blu-ray together for just £129.99 as a package."


The MotoGP review not only features action from every race of the 2010 MotoGP World Championship - featuring Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner - but also interviews, informed commentary and bonus features such as on-board laps from every circuit.

 

It will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 13.
