Sailplane Grand Prix DVD
The DVD traces the first steps in the creation of a new televised format of sailplane (glider) racing, a field of 15 of the world’s top pilots fighting it out for the World Championship. It’s fast, it’s dicey and it’s unbelievably gripping; Formula One without the fumes.
We take spectators previously limited to peering through binoculars and give them a front row seat. We virtually put them in the cockpit, we let them fly with condors and we show them some of the world’s most spectacular – and at times threatened – landscapes, all at speeds nudging 300 km/h.
This is not just for sailplane aficionados — there are enough features in the suite to hook anyone with an eye for beauty, a love of the environment and a passion for sporting spectacle (see contents below). And with more than 100 minutes of material subtitled in five languages (En, Fr, De, Es & Pl) it's the most inclusive sailplane experience committed to film.
