I'm a racing fan. I'm an Andretti and Paul Newman fan. I'm a racing video fan.
I believe that any true fan would love this video, especially at the low price.
It's more a documentary, not so much a movie, and centers around Mario and Michael Andretti and the building and testing of Michaels' IndyCar one year.
No one could narrate this better than Paul Newman did.
Time is spent at Lola covering the designing, fabricating, assembling and testing the car; then at Cosworth testing the engine. All that was interesting to me; getting a peek behind the scenes.
Some time is spent with the Andretti family that gives insight into their personalities and personal lives. Those parts can be slow at times.
But the best part is the picture and sound! IMAX to Blu-ray conversion is perfect and everything is absolutely stunning. The race footage is exciting and the visual detail amazing. Most of this film is not track time but what there is may be the best HD racing footage ever done.
It doesn't cover a whole season, we really only get bits and pieces as the film makers were limited as to when they could use the camera car, but it is still really fun to watch.
And the "making of" extra is as long as the original presentation and also very interesting and entertaining.
I'll take it with me to visit friends and family and I'm sure that everyone will enjoy it.

Not just for racing fans
Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 3 de junio de 2000
I was initially put off by the title and the artwork on this DVD, believing it was aimed at hard-core racing fans. After reading numerous reviews praising the quality of the sound and images, I decided to buy it as a "show me why DVD is so great" disk. And in that regard, I certainly wasn't disappointed; it is a spectacular showcase DVD.
What I didn't expect is how much I enjoyed the human interest story of the Andretti family. The movie takes you into their world, and places racing in perspective: technological, historical, and social. The story arc gently draws you to the racing track, immerses you in the raw excitement of driving at over 200 MPH, and then eases you back out to the real world, your heart still pounding. While the cars are unquestionably exciting, this isn't just about sitting in the cockpit. It's really about the people who do this, from the driver all the way back to the car's designers.
In the "Behind the Scenes" video (an outstanding piece in its own right), the director points out that you couldn't invent a story like this, that no one would believe it. Without giving away anything, the finale of Super Speedway is more touching, more emotional than any Hollywood fiction. Highly recommended.

Outfreakingstanding!!!!
Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 4 de enero de 2010
I have owned Super Speedway on DVD for years. I recently saw how cheap the Blu-Ray disk is (was less than 12 bucks) and jumped on it... Same TV, same receiver, same speakers - but whole new level of ear-blasting, eye-popping racing action. I have used this film to test (/show off - lol) my home theatre for years. I am amazed how much more lifelike the (now ageing) footage is in Blu.
I never got too into the whole story portion (refurbishing of a long lost treasure) but it is worth seeing. I can (and do) watch the test track footage over and over and over again... At least until my wife and daughter start yelling at me because the dishes are rattling in the kitchen cupboards... lol! This film is for racers like "Rudy" is for football players... It just makes you want to get out there and do it!
If you have a decent to kick-butt theatre, I would say this is a must have demo. If you like going fast or think you may want to be a race car driver, this IS a must have. If you get an uneasy feeling merging onto a freeway, you may want to check out "Blue Planet" instead. (also a great IMAX film)

Fantastic Surround Sound Reference Disc
Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 29 de julio de 2010
If you enjoy loud surround sound, this is a must have disc - either for Blu Ray or DVD. This thing is pure audio porn! Whenever I want to impress somebody with my surround sound setup, I pop this one in, dial it up to 11, and blow them away.
The blu ray video quality is very impressive; IMax spares no expense and it shows. However, if you want true reference quality blu ray picture, I recommend 'Baraka' or 'Planet Earth' in lieu of this film.
I have only watched the actual film once the whole way through. And, to be honest, it is very 'meh'. It's a typical IMax documentary meant more for theme parks than a home setting. So in other words, it's short, shallow, and low on replay value from a story standpoint. It's also getting a dated at over 10 years old. I would like to see them re-visit Indycar, or better yet, do something with F1.
One warning, be sure your receiver can decode DTS-HD Master Audio, otherwise you can't listen in English.
A long time audiophile, this is my #1 recommended reference audio blu ray (and DVD) disc.

Awesome!
Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 4 de junio de 2014
What can I say, I'm a woman who's not especially a racing fan, and I adore this film. Actually not sure what I enjoy more, the movie itself or the "making of" documentary included with it. The visuals are amazing, the sound is incredible, and the human interest side of following the Andretti family is fascinating, as well as the restoration project on an old Andretti racecar that they follow simultaneously with building the newest version. It must have been heart-stopping in a large-screen theater, but I'll tell you, it's still awfully impressive in the home. I saw it first it on my BF's laser-disc (yep, still have it - and a working player) but this is a little easier to share with friends and family - and who knows how long the laser disc players will hold out? It's been about 15 years since I first watched it and I still remember sitting there just mesmerized thru both the feature and the "making of" special. Race fan or not, it's amazing viewing.
