I would, if only it weren't for the dreadful commentary wink But that aside, nice to see the highlights of a really good series.

The Eurosport highlights of Sebring were pretty good too - not too many adverts, but Martin Cole (or whatever his name is) needs shaking from time to time wink

Agree. Mark Cole I think. He is terrible, I knopw he cant help having a lisp but that combined with a rather effeminate voice and little enthusiasm really spoils the race.

The Lord Drayson one is 'Licence to Le Mans', but there's also a good series (often repeated on one of the Discovery channels) called 'Road to Le Mans' which is about the Creation Autosport team. That's pretty interesting too, even if it is a few years old now.

I think it usually shows up on Discovery Turbo - was on earlier this year.

Think it dates back to about the 2005 or 2006 season, but it's a three part series which looks at developing the car, the races in the build-up to Le Mans and then Le Mans itself. Really interesting, especially when they talk about setting the car up and some of the issues they had with that.

'Truth in 24' - good film, but stupidly only available on DVD from US Audi dealers.

If you have a US iTunes account you used to be able to download it for free, but it's copy protected so difficult to copy to a DVD (at least for those of us who are hard of computering....).

I'm pretty sure if you are a resourceful type you'll be able to find it online at somewhere less reputable - not that I am advocating any shady downloads or anything, and I certainly didn't do that myself and don't therefore have a copy...

It was on week before last while I was in Tenerife. Sunshine or Dave....... Dave wone but only for half an hour, then off for my €1 pint of San Migel - yes, ONE EURO.
