It shows the driver?

It shows the driver?

Yuck face indeed. Suited and wearing a helmet but very little is left to the imagination.

 

[TheBook]

I actually just used that film as a reference for a paper I wrote in my English class. It is a really interesting movie, albeit slightly disturbing.

That gives me the shivers. 👎 but it only motivates me more.

55:43
The tragidigy is conveyed by another driver who does everything he can to save the crashed driver. At 56:58 he bends down and you just understand.

Williamson and Purley.. I have a book called "Formula 1 The Autobiography" and there's a picture of the accident and it so disturbing... the drivers hand or at least his glove is just shown poking out throught wreckage.... sickening..

On SPEED. 5 days from now, or so I just read from a guy called Erik Arneson that says of himself "VP of Media Relations for SPEED".

He tweeted this:

Erik Arneson ‏ @SPEEDPR1
CORRECTION: @SPEED will premiere Audi's Truth in 24 II on May 5 at 4 p.m. ET #24HoursofLeMans

 

[nitrorocks]

Ohhh! Thanks! I'll definitely watch!

 

[Patrick]

I'll wait to watch it commercial free.

 

[nitrorocks]

Yeah I probably will record it.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Not a documentary, I know, but I just heard this podcast and I found it absolutely brilliant. Not to be missed by anyone that considers himself a Formula 1 (and motorsports) fan.

So Truth in 24 II debuts today on Speed, but it's listed as only being about 45 minutes long. Can anyone else confirm this? As I recall, the last Truth in 24 was about an hour and a half.

Because it's not about NASCAR? I kid NASCAR fans..

A review ... can't wait to see it myself

[nitrorocks]

I personally think the first one was a lot better. But Truth in 24 II was still good.

 

[Sam48]

The full version of Truth in 24 Part II is now available for free on itunes. The aired run time (from Speed Channel) was about 45 minutes, the actual run time is one hour, 23 minutes.

Wow, the team that made the BMW movie went at it again, this time they made a short documentary (20 minutes) called "So Close"

And it is a-ma-zing. Just watch the first minute, you will understand (and want to see the rest).

Oh and they published it on Youtube TODAY in glorious 1080p. I've downloaded it and will watch in my Hi-Def TV tonight.

Here. Give it 1 minute of your time to make your jaw drop and then you decide if you want to keep watching:



PS - Here a small review from down under: http://www.ausmotive.com/2012/06/27/video-24-hours-so-close.html

 

[nitrorocks]

I'll watch it tonight! Thanks for the info.

 

[gorsad]

Recommend the above video to everyone, great watch.

 

[nitrorocks]

I've found one by SpeedHunters on the WRT-Audi from this year. It's not as good, but still Interesting.

Nice video about Rebellion's impressive achievement at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. Clearly the author, taking an artistic route to show this, felt just how EPIC Le Mans is.

​

EDIT - just 2 notes: One, the build up to race start is very well done. Two, the Audi flashing-from-behind footage, something we get twice during the video. I guess we're being reminded of the fact that Rebellion, playing it wisely, actually managed to "mingle" with the Audi armada, to take advantage from their brainfades, and in the end kept one Audi behind.

Saw this in the ACO site. Short film from Japan. Amazing ...
