Truth in 24 II
« on: May 24, 2012, 12:16:31 am »
Haven't seen this posted on here yet. This is the follow up Audi film from last years Le Mans.
It can be streamed from here http://audi-motorsport-blog.blogspot.com or downloaded on itunes.

Fascinating to watch and to hear how the team dealt with the accidents and huge pressure from Peugeot right till the end. I still don't understand how they could stay so focused and not be emotionally knackered  by it all :o

Watched this yesterday - worth every second watching it - beautifully made, and brilliantly narrated by Jason Statham (The PERFECT choice IMO!)

When you look at it, you kind of realise why Peugeot came to their decision as well....If you can't win with 3 cars on the track, providing mobile road blocks to try and bring your car to the front, you're probably on a losing track!

Some of the slow motion shots, are truly breathtaking as well!!

It's when they call on the radio "Rocky can you hear me". Remember thinking at the time he could be a gonner. Sent shivers down my spine.

Mint. The bit where Lena Gade (now on the racing totty list) gives a professional technical description and Howden Haynes says, she was shitting her pants - quality.

And I can't help thinking that behind the calm "that's racing" approach, the real views on Mr Montagny's track behaviour might be a tad less restrained  ;D

Fantastic

Now watching the original film about the 2008 race.

Great way to get an early fix!

The next 2 weeks will go by rather slowly now!

Excellent - A stark reminder of how badly Peugeot behaved.

In many ways I think they could have shown more of the Peugeot "incidents" . I haven't been back to the original coverage but I thought I remembered more . Interesting that it took a text from Ulrich to Peugeot to get them to back off.

Have to say Anthony Davidson went down in estimations aswell. Defended his own driving then claimed in every interview afterwards not to have seen the others do worse so refused to comment and yet said it was "all fair in endurance racing". I couldn't make it last year but luckily (!) my son was unwell that weekend so I was tasked with sitting on the sofa with him both days. Tough job...but armed with laptop, TV and tablet I battled through. I Probably saw more coverage and had a better view of the closeness and timings etc than if I were there.
