Journey to Le Mans is a documentary presenting team Jota's quest to win Le Mans in the LMP2 division.Much of the race footage is presented in slow motion, and the melodramatic soundtrack is unrelenting. These aspects betray the innate excitement of high-speed racing. The film doesn't even present a summary of the race in any desirable form. I have to believe an under-produced bland documentary would have been much more interesting.What it does somewhat well is profile the drivers of team Jota. The raw footage is top-notch, alas the actually racing clips are very short.My one word summary would be "boring", which is a very unfortunate description of the pinnacle of high-speed auto racing.

I know nothing about Le Mans so I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect from this. To say I enjoyed it would be an understatement!A fantastic insight into the event and what it takes to get there and to compete.Some have said it was very one sided as it only followed one team, and that is correct, but that is what it was meant to be about anyway. Enjoy it for what it is. (Warning: TT3D is the same, so don't complain about that one when you see it!!!!)What really made this a great watch though was the cinematography! Superb camera use, footage and techniques. Loved it!If you're a racing fan, then I highly recommend this....

I was gripped from the start and it just got better and better. Anyone with an interest in motor racing will be wrapped by this film. I'm not a huge motor sport fan but I found this film riveting. The story line is so strong it makes the film appealing to everyone. A must watch. The voice of Patrick Stewart narrating is just the icing on the cake. The professionalism of the racing team and the comradeship combined with the dedication and drive is inspiring. The film gives us an insight into the team effort from the drivers to the trainer and the mechanics. Also the camera work is astounding. I have bought the DVD and will be watching it again and again.

For me this was a film filled with childhood nostalgia, going to Le Mans with my Dad and watching him race. I think more than anything this captures the reality, the team spirit and drive of the individual man to win. It makes me sad to read comments about it being only about 'Jota' a small team - who wants to watch them? It is not misleading - read the synopsis, this film says exactly what it is, an inside story about a group of guys wanting to make it in the greatest race in the world. So it is OK for Audi to do it? What if it were Porsche? I think perhaps some have missed the point the filmmakers captured which is the authenticity of just a bunch of passionate chaps who take on the world. Surely THIS is inspiration beyond all else? Or perhaps it just let's an old guy think 'hey I could do that'. For me it is a ten out of ten.
