DVR/VCR Alert: Le Mans documentary

[Phokaioglaukos]

Set your DVR/VCR to record Truth in 24 on ESPN (it'll also be in HD) at 8 PM next Friday.

Truth In 24 is a feature-length documentary about Team Audi's quest for a fifth-straight victory as it faces its first serious challenge in years from Peugeot. You can read a review here: http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_...index.html
 but I saw the film with Chris Kellet, a local Miata racer who does sound for NFL Films and this film, and it is wonderful. Don't miss it!

Thanks for the heads up.  I was able to catch the program- outstanding.  I was simply fascinated by the behind-the-scenes action and efforts from the entire team.  The win against more powerful competition by sticking to a quality product, race strategy, and disciplined training at all levels reminds me of a certain PCA chapter's name....

My favorite part was when the announcer described in detail (turn by turn, what gear, speed, etc) what a hot lap around Le Mans entails in unison with the computer animated view of the track as you went. Excellent!

At first I was disappointed that the program focused on Audi, then I found out that Audi paid to have the program put together.  They were very scared that Peugeot might have won.
