BASIC SYNOPSIS
LeMans racing team 'Audi Sport' attempts to win a record fifth straight 24 Hours of LeMans against the local favorite and spoiler, Team Peugeot. The film goes deep inside the Audi camp to discover the high-tech genius of engineers and drivers as they set out to make history.
DIRECTOR SYNOPSIS
This was a truly 21st century project: a film company famous for movies about American football making a documentary about a German racing team. Everything about the Intersport/NFL Films approach to filmmaking—all access, sync sound, emotional, character-driven storytelling—was foreign to the Audi team. It was a fascinating clash of cultures and it took months to build trust. The single most important element in the film, included the team’s lead engineer wearing a microphone for the entire 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was not approved until 20 minutes before the start of the race.
