So very pleased that you are finding some interest in the vid links guys.

Waikiore, I well remember going to the picture house to watch Le Mans when it first came out, it was really quite special back then. I`m guessing you have seen the latest movie re the return of Ford to LM..? Link to a trailer below.

While the LM 24 hrs was ever THE high spot for me in car racing, as was the IOM for bike racing, I tripped over a set of GT series vids as the result of my Porsche interests and in that regard, I came across the series of vids where the actor Michael Fassbender got together with Porsche to provide him with extensive training in order to realise a life long dream of becoming a racing driver and of course to enter the 24 hrs at LM. To that end Porsche provided a team of top class folk in order that he might achieve that goal... I guess the marketing men played their part in the decision making but ultimately it made for a very interesting and continuing series of vids.

The name of the series is Michael Fassbender the Road to Le Mans. Unfortunately I could not find a link to the first vid in the series and the link below is as far back as I could find which seems to present it`s self as the beginning though I am sure that there was an earlier vid ... DO NOT beam it up if the F word upsets. We are watching an Actor, and when there are cameras around, but there are times when emotions take precedence over any desire to act, even if just a little..(-:

Interestingly it was while watching the Fassbender vids that I came across the Iron Dames team... Unfortunately for Fassbender they seem to be at or above his level, and there was a coming together in one vid where Fassbender seemed to think it was not his fault...Hmm..?

I think the link may take you to the series of vids filmed over three years..

Sincere apologies to the faithful for all the non-Morgan content but at least I travelled to LM in my Morgan and in the hope of seeing a lot of the DeWalt Aero taking part in the 24 hrs... And just to prove I was there I took a few pics and posted some elsewhere in the forum... one of which I hope to post below.

Great video...

I was lucky enough to be invited to Le Mans twice by Ford to drive my GT at the Classic. Quite fun to be on the Mulsanne at race speeds.

Agree. Enjoyed watching that. Despite all of the money, work and brains involved, still seems a bit of a miracle that they pulled it off though.

Thanks George, yes I came across the Fassbender series a little while back too and tend to agree when he ploughed into the girls car with no rights. Managed to drive my Plus 8 down for LMC in 18 and very much enjoyed the circuit drive early one morning and the company of the Vinmog and French Morgan contingent , met Shooter and a number of others from this site on the trip too. Re the LeMans 66 film -I found it a bit frustrating -though that is Hollywood I guess. If I was living in the UK I would move heaven and earth to get aboard an entry at LeMans classic it really is a most incredible event -watching TOK under her current experienced and skillful driver/ owner blowing past larger and more powerful cars was a real treat.
