This documentary follows the Hendrick Motorsports team as it prepares to enter the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans with a NASCAR Camaro as part of the Garage 56 program. According to the Le Mans website, "Established in 2012, Garage 56 at Le Mans is reserved for a non-competing, innovative prototype. It has served as a platform for remarkable technological and human achievements over the years." I thought this was a terrific documentary. Of course, since it involves racing technology, they tend to gloss over the intricate details that go into designing and building the cars but still give a good sense of what it takes to field one of these machines. Lots of interviews with key personnel, including the three drivers: Jimmie Johnson, Mike Rockenfeller, and Jensen Button. Many on this forum actively follow motorsport so I'm sure most of those are aware of the results. If you are not, the Hendricks Motorsport Camaro completed the 24-hour race--a huge accomplishment, though its 39th place finish put it second to last, down 57 laps due to two mechanical failures that needed to be repaired. ![]() "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | ||

Thanks for posting. Watched it last night. Can recommend it. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||
