24 Heures du Mans: Le Mans 2004

Buy This Item 24 Heures du Mans: Le Mans 2004 by White Star  Available from Amazon  $26.99  on 11-26-2008     It’s called the greatest endurance race in the world, and in its 72nd year, the 24 Hours of Le Mans did not disappoint in providing plenty of drama and excitement. Drivers (some veterans, some making their Le Mans debuts) and fans from all over the world make the trip each June to the Circuit de la Sarthe in northwestern France and this official review captures all the spectacle, color, and thrills. Reader Reviews For those of us who couldn't make the trek out ot Le Mans to see Audi win for the fourth time, this well-done review will allow you to witness one of the closest finishes in Le Mans history. Like previous versions of this DVD, the 2004 review has comprehensive coverage of testing, scrutineering, qualifying, off-track news, the historic race and the 24-hour classic. It documents in strong detail the battle among the favorites for overall victory (Audi UK, Audi Japan GOH and Champion Audi)and does a commendable job highlighting the GTS battle between Corvette and Ferrari. The DVD also does a good job covering former World Rally Champion Colin McRae's transition from rally to GT driver. The only disappointing feature is the two chapters devoted to qualifying, adding a big chunk of repetitive information to the DVD. Like the two previous incarnations of this DVD, qualifying is covered twice, making it a little frustrating to watch straight through when you already know what's going to happen. For a big Le Mans fan like myself, its a small annoyance, but other viewers may feel a little cheated since their not getting the most from the 150 minutes of run time. However, that aside, it is a strong review and I would recommend it to any sportscar or Le Mans fan.
