Behind the Scenes: Le Mans

If you want a look at the preparation, testing and strategy that goes into the 24 Hours of Le Mans  we suggest you check out two documentaries from Audi.  Truth in 24, at the time of its release, was a never before seen behind the scenes look at a major manufacturer's efforts to win Le Mans.  In the case of Audi it was their pursuit of a 5th win at Le Mans.   They followed  with another film, Truth in 24 II: Every Second Counts

"Truth in 24" chronicles the Audi Sport racing teams as they attempt to win a record fifth consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans. The films gives viewers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes view of the strategies engineers and drivers use as they set out to make history against local favorite, Team Peugeot.

The Le Mans 24 Hours are a legend. They are mentioned in the same breath as the Rallye Monte Carlo, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. Since 1923, hundreds of thousands of motorsport enthusiasts have been flocking to La Sarthe year by year to experience the one-day race.
