Lotus Releases "The Road to Le Mans"; Like "Truth in 24" But Without the Budget [Video]
It might not have the ultra-high production quality of Audi’s “Truth in 24” documentary, but Lotus has just released a short video detailing the British sports car maker’s journey to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The four minute featurette aptly named “The Road to Le Mans” follows the factory Lotus team and the development of the Evora GTE race car. The team then hears to the 24 Hours of Spa in Belgium for the car’s first running before heading to Le Mans for a solid finish – especially considering its only the car’s second race.
Perhaps most impressive is that from starting the project to crossing the finish line at Le Mans (an accomplishment regardless of where you place) the entire journey takes just six months.
