RACE OF THE DECADE!

The Official Review of the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours Race released on DVD

The 76th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours produced, quite simply, an awesome race, and one which will be remembered for many years to come.

Now you can relive the incredible showdown between Audi and Peugeot as often as you like with the Official Review of the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours on DVD.

The review captures all the action and drama as the turbodiesel-powered Audis and Peugeots pounded round the Circuit de la Sarthe, putting in speeds which made this look like a sprint, not an endurance race.

On-board footage, interviews, access to the pit lane, informed commentary and behind-the-scenes features bring you the full story of this action-packed event, right through to the decisive downpour in the very last hour after more than 3,000 miles of fast and furious race action.

All the vital spins, crashes and passes are here as you enjoy the edge-of-the-seat duel between the R10 TDis and 908 HDis as the 24 hours tick by.

Le Mans 2008 featured all-star cast, including the legendary Tom Kristensen, British sportscar greats Allan McNish and Andy Wallace, former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, numerous ex-Grand Prix drivers and many more. You’ll here from many of these drivers as they explain the attraction of Le Mans, and describe how their race is going as the story unfolds.

For the tens of thousands of British fans who crossed the Channel, there was plenty to cheer about – not only was McNish at the wheel of the winning car to take his first Le Mans victory for 10 years, but the Gulf-liveried Aston Martin DBR9s trounced the American opposition fielded by Corvette in GT1.

The official review keeps you up-to-speed with the GT1 battle, as well as the action in LMP2 and GT2.

At more than 2½ hours, this is a fantastic highlights package. It not only brings viewers comprehensive race coverage, but also includes a recap of the ‘07 race, test day and qualifying footage, the drivers’ parade and the Legends Race, with the awesome Group C cars of the 1980s returning to the track.

There’s also plenty of bonus features, including a detailed Road to Le Mans film and on-board footage courtesy of Peugeot, Audi and Corvette.

This is must-watch motorsport whether you were lucky enough to be at Le Mans 2008 or not!
