And so it began . . .

It was on "Speed" in the US on SUN night (13 MAY 12) at 20h00 (GMT -4).

Not trying to be a `spoiler' but it was one hour and had a few repeated scenes a from the original at the beginning. Not a lot of time was devoted to the pre-race preparations. Lots of explanations of the strategies and how they changed due to the retirements of two cars.

Well done with some of the commentary from Radio Le Mans explaining the on screen action.

Just received the following Email:

The countdown has begun: there are only a few more days to go before ‘Truth in 24 II’ is available to download. As we would like to offer you this spectacular documentary about Audi’s victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2011 immediately in all language versions the release date has been deferred by a few days to May 22.

Many thanks for your understanding.

i.e. other language versions were supposed to released 22nd of May but now they postponed the English version to same date or the other versions caused the delay?

That is an interesting question. I think the english version is already finished for weeks, because a shortened version was already shown at Speed TV.

The availability of the movie seems to depend on the country you live in.

US version is out and downloading as we speak (through the US account I create to download the first movie).

No German/UK version as far as I can see.

The URL for the UK is available above.

Strangely, the counter is counting down from 16:37 at the moment. So maybe international viewers have to wait another day.

It appears if the film is in the process of going live on the iTunes stores, it is in the US, UK and Australia at least now… maybe the rest will go live during the day. The countdown timer did reset to another 16 hours though… maybe the rest will go live during these 16 hours...

Without wishing to sound like a grumpus, why couldn't Audi just plonk this on to YouTube for all to see without foisting upon us the abomination that is iTunes?

It would attract more viewers and generate some income through advertising. But hey, what do I know?

Why is this movie DRM'd? It's a free movie, you cannot pirate it. Yet you need to have iTunes installed and authorised computers to view it?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 explains how you can create an US iTunes Store account without a credit card.

That is how I am downloading the movie right now.

Don't worry, it will end up "elsewhere" soon enough.

You still need a physical American address if you want to use that method… unless I missed something

It's pretty confounding, when you consider it's an advertisement, really.
'You can only watch this commercial in DRM-laden form, via Itunes

Cheers,
Audi'

Defying logic since 2009.

It is kind of frustrating in terms of the process around it - but then again I am still downloading it as we speak. Would be nice to have a bit more freedom of where/how I can watch it.
