"You'll really enjoy this documentary of the 2002 race, it gives you all the lead up to the event, the sights, the sounds, and a sense of the length of time it takes to compete. For me, this was a special find because I attended the 2002 LeMans race and this was a great addition to my travel photos. This particular race was blessed with great weather, no rain, no high winds, perfect. While the Audi's ran away with it, there was so much to enjoy. The Viper/Corvette battle was fun to watch - the Vettes dominated in the end. The Ferrari was a surprise early on. The French were actually making a movie during the race and had two cars entered just for the film. I have not located the film just yet, but I will buy that too when I can.

I spent the entire night driving from one location to the next to get differnt views of the race (a very nice aspect of this race on mostly public streets) and this film captures great action at many spots. My seat was right at the finish line, so the view of the finish on this film brings it all back for me. Like I said, if you like LeMans style racing, if you have a tolerant family (or your own viewing area) you will enjoy this film a lot...and who knows, it may make you want to travel to LeMans and experience it for yourself.
