"This DVD is another "must-have" for sports car racing fanatics.

Not everyone can make the trip to see the annual 24hrs of Le Mans

in France. But this DVD is a good overveiw of the famous race.

I also like the addition of the "historic races", which run before the main race starts. My only complaint, is, I want it to be longer. I don't think you will be diappointed with this disk."

A solid review of the 2004 race

"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."
