I should think you'd be wanting a PAL-compliant DVD player anyway, Neil - so you can get other wonders like "In Car 956"... I know my cheapie Apex units all have played PAL stuff.

I was thinking, only a couple of days ago that someone could make an excellent Le Mans film about the 1979 race.

OK, I'm biased as it was my first visit, but it had drama like no other 24 hours since and all the ingredients for a Hollywood movie.

American movie star with a chance of winning, arrogant German favourites falling by the wayside, drama in the last few laps.

If someone like Ridley Scott directed it, it could be the brilliant movie Le Mans wasn't quite.

Cheers.

It's not to say it's a bad film at all, but I did fall asleep when Sam watched it. Only therefore seen the beginning, but what I saw, was good!

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this DVD. The family insisted I ask Father Christmas for it rather than buying it when it first came out, so I've only just seen it for the first time.

Absolutely brilliant! The best Le Mans related documentary I think I've ever seen. A couple of inaccuracies in the narrative aside, the content was relevant, informative and brilliantly filmed and edited. Loved it!

Many DVD players will now play a PAL dvd on NTSC systems - I know the copy I got for my dad worked on my player, as we watched it Christmas afternoon. Brilliant stuff indeed. Fieldgate, are you in it?

Got the DVD for Christmas, watched it this morning. Anyone who loves Le Mans should get it. Theres some great onboard footage, but the behind the scenes stuff is most interesting for me. Seeing a team run out of a back yard is a refreshing change from the big bucks operations like Audi. Great DVD, well worth buying!

It's the new "Le Mans: A Lap of the Gods" about the Rollcentre team's LM 2006 effort.

There is also another dvd called "Lap of the Gods" that, I believe, involves in car footage from various racetracks.
