24 Hours of Le Mans Review 2001
May. 11,2015
The 69th running of the famous French endurance classic heralded the much hyped and hugely exciting return of two of the sport’s greatest marques to the la Sarthe circuit. The ‘Bentley Boys’ were back at their spiritual home and MG also made a welcome comeback with the Lola EX257. Eight manufacturers, including the defending Audi Sport Team Joest, plus a host of top-flight privateer GTs were on the grid for the start of what promised to be an exciting race. Torrential rain just four laps in to the race caused havoc with cars still running on dry or intermediate tyres and a six car pile-up and the changeable conditions kept teams on their toes throughout the following 23 hours. Despite the downpours, the atmosphere was as lively as ever and the thrills just kept on coming.
Reviews
Pretty Good
A Disappointing Continuation
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
