Apart from the usual display of cars, spare parts, drivers, team styles, stages, crashes, etc there are 3 (boasted unseen) full stage videos from in-car cameras.  Though a bit boring without a soundtrack, they do provide an insight on the driver\/co-driver experience during the special stage.<\/p>\n<p>I do recommend to get this DVD for all the rally fans out there &#8211; it&#8217;s a quality collection of the favourite, atmospheric, and rare moments.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>P.S.:  <b>Subaru are the greatest ever!<\/b> :)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>I&#8217;ve just watched the &#8220;WRC 2003 Showdown&#8221; DVD (Hazard&#8217;s present for my birthday).
