on that note, do any of you actually think that the gravel in the gravel traps will EVER be replaced with less sharp stuff? For years now it seems the tv chaps are bemoaning for all the punctures.

I cant see it ever happening as it would cost a fair amount to replace it all with actual rounded off stuff.

but yes, great shot.

A beautifully produced review of almost 14 minutes from Audi. Includes a couple of interview style clips featuring Chris Reinke, our 'technical' host at the garage visits.

Several moments in the film sent shivers down my spine......... ENJOY!

thanks Bentley.
Yes, beautifully shot and while its an Audi congratulatory piece, it still very much evoked the feeling and drama of the race.
Loved the super slow shot of the Audi four wheels off the ground ricocheting off the curbing, I betcha they looked at that afterwards and said--cool shot, but dont do that again please...

Very well made recap that felt much less like an Audi commercial compared to Truth in 24.

Nice work of including RLM and giving proper respect to Peugeot as well.

the Audi jumping over the kerbs at 11.13 is absolutely my favourite take of this film.
Great film indeed!

Lovely bit of film - and raises the bar for every other corporate video bodged onto YouTube. For me the R18 is one of these cars that somehow looks better in the flesh than on camera and to have me smiling at the look of it on this is quite an achievement.

It does too reflect one of the points made by Audi in the garage visit - i.e. that they were looking to engage more directly with their customer base, and in putting something like this up free to view and embed is a superb example of getting social media marketing right (as an OT aside an example of getting it 'almost right' that I always hark back to is Victoria Bitter's "rasie a glass" [sic] campaign for Anzac day a few years ago which is brilliant but has embedding disabled).

It's interesting to contrast their approach here to the comparatively restricted distribution of "Truth in 24" - and given some of the intriguing points made in Joe Saward's generally rather good blog (dig down into the comments) Audi buying into using social media and engaging with customers and fans directly (as they said in June that they were planning to do) can only help the cause of sportscar racing overall. Long may it continue.

That's a rather good synopsis, I really enjoyed that.

I see gi_gav made it into the film (at least, I think it's him) at 2.22 during the drivers parade section (it was gi_gav who photographed us at the Saturday meeting).

Yep, that's an incredible piece of footage.

The bit that really got me (emotionally) was the pit to car radio exchange between Andre Lotterer and Leena immediately after Rocky's crash - the moment Leena says 'Andre, it's Rocky' is electric.

True, he must have felt very bad at that moment. We all did, watching the TV screens, imagine what a driver must go through at that time, even more so when it is your team mate.

Exactly the same for me too. Probably everyone else on here. Powerful stuff.
