Really? Why?
I saw some of the race and the outcome, so please elaborate...

I know racing drivers who don't even watch or follow any motor racing...

I think the behind the scenes footage and the drivers' insights on endurance racing overall will be interesting to watch.

When I first saw the title I thought, oh no Hollyweird is remaking Steve McQueen's classic movie, and they'll butcher it like all the remakes they do. So I was relieved to see that it's actually a documentary.

I'm going to miss those LMP1's

I miss 2016, this season is just rubbish. Everything bar Le Mans from 2016 is up to watch again though, it's worth it!

I'd recommend following the "le mans" tag at IMDB, there's a couple of films ( well, documentaries ) I'd not heared of.

I love how they chose the year that literally a single factory LMP1 team entered the race.

Privateers in LMP1 have been grid-fillers for years now.

One of the most meaningless Le Mans years ever - and this is when they decide to make a movie?

A must-see movie for every racing fan.

Huge racing fan here, but definitely not a must-see for me. That race was a complete farce and to make a movie about it is just....yeah, I don't think I'll be wasting any time on it. I don't imagine it's much different than the Truth in 24 movies anyway, other than the fact that the races in those movies weren't rigged for a certain team to win. Hard pass.

Truth in 24 I and II were definitely something to watch.

Is the movie some kind of Toyota vanity project? I find it pathetic that the only way they were able to finally "win" was to literally be the only team with even a chance of winning.

If you're the only factory team, it seems like honor alone would demand for you to wait until there is some actual competition. Otherwise, withdraw and skip a year.
