Good point, Paul. The pub did not like the idea of a projector.

If anyone has a monitor they can bring in their car, that would be a great help 8)

James and Justin have done the most fantastic job, the DVD is just brilliant! Its been put together to the highest professional standards with great use of split screen techniques and clever filming.
Wonderful panning scenes of the cars sweeping through the French countryside accompanied by a sound track which sets the mood, and our laps on track are captured to show the true excitement of it all.

But the most important thing is it brings back memories of what a great time we all had, the fantastic roads, the racing at Le Mans and the camaraderie of the DDK.
Ends as we pack up, didn't realise we all looked so rough, a combination of to much booze and to little sleep, least thats my excuse 8)
cheers, Mike.

Have to second Mike's comments: a fantastic film that really captures the spirit of the event.

What amazed me was the quality achieved with the car-mounted cameras: I'm obviously a bit out of date (time to replace my Box-Brownie perhaps), can't wait to re-watch it in 'full size' with big sounds!

Finally, the timing of the DVD is perfect: rekindled memories, and fired the enthusiasm for the season ahead :) .

Hey Alam, see the thread here:

I posted in For Sale, but may well post in General in a day or two, to make it easier to find.
The Beast is very much in evidence on the DVD :wink:
