For those who haven't heard of it yet.

It looks REALLY good. Until now it has only been shown at film festivals across the US. It was made by NFL films because Audi wanted to profile its journey to Le Mans and the race so it could advertise to the public its team. I'm looking forward to it.

Hope my hotel at Sebring gets ESPN!

Thanks for the tip.

Im excited to see it, hopefully my dvr is going to be working because I dont' think my tent at Sebring gets ESPN!

Having seen the 5 clips they released earlier, and reading their info on truthin24.com, I can't wait. A couple early media viewers have said it doesn't come off as a pure ad piece but rather a good story behind what it takes for a 24 race. Maybe it will make ESPN consider picking up a few races with good viewership, worked out well for NASCAR going over to ESPN in the early 90s.

Awesome, can't wait to see it. Just the trailers alone gave me the shivers already.

bring an extra 6 pack or more and look for the dish on an Rv and make some new friends.

I too will watch this film

92scotland · 15 Jan 2009, 20:40 (Ref:2372276)

Is it being shown in the UK? If so I am watching

racerkeke · 16 Jan 2009, 16:48 (Ref:2372821)

Bet we don't get it in Canada... TSN will pre-empt it for world tiddlywinks or poker or yet another talking-heads "guys" show. These are the same people who miss the start of F1 races if they overlap with the end of a hockey game. I hope I'm wrong but I suspect I'm not.

Good Advice! Do you have an RV? and if so, what kind of beer do you like, ha!

Very well done, cinematography. It is great to be able to have a closer view into the world that we all here enjoy so much, as to be avid fans! I enjoyed it and I believe even the Porschefanitiker's among us would.

L.P.

where 2 find it on Itunes? is it only on the us store?

isynge · 24 Mar 2009, 18:33 (Ref:2423815)

Beautifully put together - a lot like the Rollcentre films with a dose of Speed Tribe thrown in and all produced with the same sort of production values that went in to Audi's LMPs.

Home taped version I've got has the ESPN ticker on it, which doesn't add a tremendous amount - but I imagine Audi will push this out a lot more widely - it takes infomercial viral ads to a whole new level.

As the great Jason Statham once said "It always rains at le mans"

Personally I was disappointed in the film for many reasons and even stopped watching it 75% of the way through.

I am with you. It was indeed amazing photography, but it had those jumpy cuts they do in music videos from twenty years ago. I found the Acura show much more interesting and informative.
