Journey to Le Mans (2014)
Le Mans the biggest motorsport event in the world, is truly a spectacle like no other. The twenty-four hour race is considered the most physically and mentally demanding race on earth. Man and machine push themselves to the limits of endurance, many never make it past the finish line, and some never make it home.

Good movie but grossly overrated
A lot of fun.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Right on the spot.Dreams have no brand. A Humane and heart felted documentary. A never surrender lesson. A triumph over corporations and big motor companies.The hell with racing tech and progress and all that bull we always have to see in this kind of documentaries.This one is about people fighting for their dreams. The way it should be.
I was gripped from the start and it just got better and better. Anyone with an interest in motor racing will be wrapped by this film. I'm not a huge motor sport fan but I found this film riveting. The story line is so strong it makes the film appealing to everyone. A must watch. The voice of Patrick Stewart narrating is just the icing on the cake. The professionalism of the racing team and the comradeship combined with the dedication and drive is inspiring. The film gives us an insight into the team effort from the drivers to the trainer and the mechanics. Also the camera work is astounding. I have bought the DVD and will be watching it again and again.
This is a great documentary/film. It does exactly what it says on the tin and doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Motor racing is something that is usually seen only from the track side and from the driver's perspective, but finally a racing film where we don't just see the unreachable glamour of the sport but the blood sweat and tears of all those involved (probably too covered in motor oil to appear on screen in Hollywood blockbusters!), because surprise surprise, without mechanics, engineers, pit crew etc. etc. etc. there would be no racing! Cleverly put together, amazing cinematography, some amazing original music, totally enjoyed and highly recommended...
For me this was a film filled with childhood nostalgia, going to Le Mans with my Dad and watching him race. I think more than anything this captures the reality, the team spirit and drive of the individual man to win. It makes me sad to read comments about it being only about 'Jota' a small team - who wants to watch them? It is not misleading - read the synopsis, this film says exactly what it is, an inside story about a group of guys wanting to make it in the greatest race in the world. So it is OK for Audi to do it? What if it were Porsche? I think perhaps some have missed the point the filmmakers captured which is the authenticity of just a bunch of passionate chaps who take on the world. Surely THIS is inspiration beyond all else? Or perhaps it just let's an old guy think 'hey I could do that'. For me it is a ten out of ten.
