Synopsis:
The 76th running of the world's greatest endurance race produced one of the most exciting and unpredictable battles seen for many years.

This comprehensive and action-packed review delivers the full story of more than 3,200 miles of incident-filled racing from the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe as the mighty Audis defend their LMP1 crown against the awesomely fast Peugeots.

Amazing footage, including plenty of on-board camera work, charts the entire race-long duel of the turbodiesels, right down to the decisive downpour in the final hour.

Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen, Britain's Allan McNish and teammate Rinaldo Capello drove supremely to upset the form book and guide the R10 TDi to a third consecutive win, beating the 908 HDi which had dominated qualifying.

Interviews, pit lane footage, informed commentary and behind-the-scenes access make this a complete look back at one of the most enthralling Le Mans races ever. Enjoy fast and furious action, as well as all the colour and atmosphere which makes Le Mans such an exceptional event.

This review also features drama from GT1 as the Gulf-coloured Aston Martins take on, and beat, archrivals Corvette, plus there's action from LMP2 and GT2. You can also enjoy fabulous footage from the test day, qualifying, the drivers' parade and the incredible Legends Race, featuring the fantastic Group C cars of the 1980s.
