The series was released on VHS in 1992 in the UK as a set of two tapes. It was released in the US by Columbia House as a set of thirteen tapes. The title of the book Power Without Glory, subtitled Racing the Big-Twin Cooper, which was published in 2015, was a play on the title of the original tv series and book, and the notion of motor racing being 'glorious'. The title alludes to the 1948 and onwards Cooper twin's enormous power-to weight ratio, with which the little car was expected to challenge the then dominant front-engined racing cars of France and Italy.
