2016 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 DVD
It appears that a tradition dating back to 1984 has come to an end.
Apparently there will be no DVD release of this years Great Race. At a time when a half dozen DVDs of Group C and A racing are released yearly I'm not sure what this says about Supercars. Perhaps fans have access to other means of viewing the Great Race, but other sports such as AFL are still releasing DVDs. And a quick browse online reveals no shortage of DVD release from motor sport categories all round the world. All of which makes this decision strange and unfortunate. Still stay positive. No downward spiral detected. |

Economics seem to get in the way of stuff like this
Killed off the Great Race books too The market is too small to be financially viable at the price the consumer is happy to pay.. |

It didn't help that recent efforts had been ****. I've imported the 2002-2015 season reviews and Bathurst 1000s on DVD to the UK over the years and from about 2012/13ish they really went downhill. Music played over all the content, most of the races highlighted down to 2-3 minutes at most. Rubbish. It's probably not just the downturn interest in V8s and availability online that's caused this.
