NEW ZEALAND has only been crowned speedway World Team Champions once - and now, for the first time, you can see how Ivan Mauger, Larry Ross, Mitch Shirra and Bruce Cribb did it against all the odds in 1979.
First up we present the televised film of the Kiwis' stunning UK round victory at Reading, where, in terribly wet track conditions, they sent England crashing out and also beat the USA and Australia. A truly amazing performance.
Then, watch them strike gold thanks to our never-before-seen colour cine footage of their superb victory in the final at London's White City ahead of Denmark, Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Featuring:
* 1979 WTC UK round at Reading (13 races).
* 1979 WTC Final at White City (6 races).
* Audio interviews after the final with Mitch Shirra, Larry Ross, Bruce Cribb, Trevor Redmond (team manager) and Mrs Raye Mauger.
* Audio interviews with Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs on the satisfaction of Kiwis' historic triumph after both being cast aside from the British team.
