The Return: A Documentary About The Ford GT's 50th Anniceraary Le Mans Win

[ENZO BTR]

Hey guys, not sure if this appears somewhere else on the forum, but I couldn't find anything so I'm posting.

Anyway, Amazon just released a documentary film about Ford's Le Mans win last year. I was hoping someone captured the entire journey on film, and thankfully they did. Go to Amazon Prime and search for "The Return" and it will pop right up. Just watched it, and it made me sad I'm not there this year (but even more thrilled I was there last year). It's a great one hour and eighteen minutes.

Also, I swear these photos were right-side up when I uploaded them...but I don't think this is a unique issue... :bang

Rotating a pic now more often than not only changes the metadata rather than actually changing the pixels in the image. Forum software does not honor the metadata.

Metadata aside. That was a fantastic watch. Goosebumps. I knew what happens but still was on edge.

I know, You'd think after being there, in person, when it actually happened I couldn't get emotional just watching a documentary on it.

Wrong.

I just watched this movie. If you're on this Forum (and I'm pretty sure you are) you must see this.

Watched it too. So exciting with lots of drama. For those who experienced it live, it must nave been a long 24 hours.

I remember very clearly being increasingly excited as the race wore on...until about the last 30 minutes with the GT in the lead. Then it became almost unbearable. You're wanting them to win and you know it's almost done...but something could still go wrong to take it all away (ask Toyota about this...).

Seeing Raj in the video was classic. He simply refused to relax and be cheerful until the race was over, because he's a realist and knows the cruel b@*tch that is endurance racing.

It was quite a ride

Enjoyed it last night. Raj sure got a lot of Face Time.

Watched this last night. HIGHLY recommended. Its the next best thing to being there. Kudos to Ford for putting it together. Really explains the journey back to Le Mans.

A definite must see.

BTW, dont get confused with the other series on Amazon "Le Mans Racing is everything" which isnt nearly as interesting.
