Can we have a thread to discuss car shows and movies? They tend to get lost in the Entertainment section so I thought it would be better to discuss here.

Show: PATRICK DEMPSEY: RACING LE MANS
Channel: Velocity
Time: WEDNESDAYS AT 10|9C
http://velocity.discovery.com/tv-shows/patrick-dempsey-racing-le-mans

I watched this last night on the Velocity channel. Its about Patrick Dempsey's Le Mans team, it starts from the very beginning with selecting teammates and getting sponsers and is pretty interesting if you are at all interested in Le Mans style racing. Last night was the 3rd episode, "Rebirth" and I plan on watching the previous too and the rest of the series.

Not a show, necessarily, but Chris Harris is a fantastic reviewer and the series is well one:

offshoot of Best Motoring

lots of grip (and drift) driving by pro racers, setups, tech, OEM matchups

watch out for a bit of pro-Japan bias (NSXR, GTR beating Ferrari 360s/turbo 996s, etc)

There was a movie about rally racing that was supposed to be out soon or recently. It got a lot of press on sites like Jalopnik and was going to include some awesome aerial drone footage but I can't remember what the name of it was.

Anyone know?

The film was:
Easier Said than Done and you can rent or buy it on Vimeo or buy the .mp4 directly on their website

Easier Said Than Done: A Rally Documentary
Quote :
"Easier Said Than Done explores the ultimate motorsport - rallying. Following an international cast of characters including top drivers, mechanics and co-drivers from around the world. The film focuses on young three time U.S champion Chris Duplessis while he makes an attempt to reach the top level of the sport, the World Rally Championship. Rallying is extremely difficult. It's expensive, dirty, rough and one of the last pure motorsports in the world. "

This film was worth renting but probably not worth purchasing. Its a series of short vignettes cut with some driving scenes, and its great but I was hoping it told more of a story similar to how One is.
