Le Mans 2012: Video highlights

[durbster]

Hello all. Thought you might be interested in our video from this years' Le Mans 24 weekend.

I shot a lot more footage than normal this year and wanted to show as much of the whole Le Mans experience as possible. It's longer than any I've done before so if you can't face the whole thing or just want to skip the bits of us pissing about, here's a guide to the highlights:

00m00 - The journey to Le Mans: highlights of the huge convoy of stunning machinery that heads to Le Mans each year
02m42 - Stunning: The arrival of our neighbour
06m40 - To the track: There's no racing on Friday and the pitlane is open, so we head down for a look around
09m19 - The Pistonheads meet
11m40 - Sausage
12m21 - Practice and Historics: Action from the the classic endurance cars and the practice sessions for the main event
13m26 - Campsite: Celebrating camping, beer, gin, live music and cars
18m38 - The race at dusk - Highlights from the race as the sun sets
20m00 - The race at dawn - Early morning through to sun rise
24m00 - Rescue - A demonstration of incompetence
25m50 - Steven Segal
26m16 - The last night - Post race including the Speed Chills girls enthusiastically revving some Ariel Atoms and the usual pyromania of Sunday night at Le Mans

Anyway, here's the video:

Great stuff... I have a friend who is danish like me and a petrol head who refuses to go Le mans despite everyone saying he is mad including one of our former students who has worked at LM as a team manager... I will send the link, but I doubt he will come

I didn't think there were any Danes that stayed in Denmark during the Le Mans weekend.

Cracking video chaps we were camped just behind you by the fence brought it all back specially the party night and band,

[mattsrallye]

Brilliant video! Nice to see the odd cameo from our lot too, we were the idiots with the M5, RS and S3

[tomsnelling]

Another good video chaps, snuck in a few times:- in the football kit, tweed and penguin, and on st shirt night with the megaphone of mega annoyance. Unfortunately the megaphone got lost/borrowed/nicked!! Im hopeful it may return next year!

Good work.

Liked. Saw some of the bogged down lorry escapade...

Just thought I'd bump this for anyone going this year and also to say I've chucked all my Le Mans videos into a Vimeo Channel if you fancy a gander:

Absolutely fantastic video guys!

"This is going in the car right?"

Great video. An excellent summary of what a boys Le Mans trip is all about. Naturally, being a heavily muscled company director, I'd have got the frisbee through the window on the first attempt...
