Am I the only one who watched it?

Audi released another film, this one follows last year's Lemans effort. Very similar production to the first one, good film. I would have like to get more insight on the crashes from the drivers and engineers but understand why Audi didn't want to focus on that. It was on Speed this weekend and will probably replay soon. Definitely worth checking out if you are an endurance/sportscar racing fan.

Yeah, I was watching that, and I was wondering why the same results weren't unfolding!
I figured it out soon enough....

Great film, especially considering I was there! PHOTOS

IMHO> McNish was too aggressive, way too early in the race and could have waited through the Eau Rouge turns. The Rockenfeller accident was unfortunate but would have been hard to avoid as he did everything possible to warn the slower GT car that he was coming.

Other great stories that weekend....Corvette winning GT and the Robertson's, on their anniversary making the Podium.

Yeah, I watched it. I own the original one and have watched it more times than I care to admit in recent month. But when you've got a 6 month old who isn't sleeping and you're too old fashioned to own a DVR, you just start watching random DVDs are 2am when nothing but infomercials are on regular TV...

Joest instructs his drivers to get into a rhythm as soon as possible and to go for it. Changing the rhythm has been found to be more accident/poor result prone than the fairly smoothly operated semi-sprint that Audi Sport Team Joest expect from their drivers all race. Some people will be amazed to learn that Joest knows what he is doing.
