OK, so now it's arrived I can report that it isn't quite the 'classic' that I recalled from my youth - there seems to be bugger all plot, and it's 37 minutes before the first bit of dialogue.....

But the pure visual appeal of Porsche 917s and Ferrari 512s is worth the money alone!

oh come on mate, its still brilliant. Perhaps more so to those who go each year mind you.

It was even cheaper when you bought either the 2003 or 2004 programme at Le Mans - ie free. I cant remember which year, they all seem a blur.

2004 mate,

Berg - please hand your keys to the receptionist on your way out and don't let the door hit your butt

That bits almost a documentary of what to expect when you go even all these years later

don't worry mate. The reason I have made the videos is to remember what happened.
