I noticed it to, I didn't buy because I'm not sure if it's the one you get for being in the uprated ACO membership?

I bought it yesterday - just watched it - tis ok but the commentary is a bit poor - I think a better review could be made.

I'll buy it, if not to keep up the collection I have them all going back to 1987 now.

I would prefer the RLM-crew to be honest. |

I agree with that. I was very dissapointed with the 99 video due to the flat coverage of a rather unique race. Is there a date, roughly, where the Radio Le Mans coverage stopped being used in the tapes?

The last one that used the RLM commentry was 1995, but on the 2002 review there is a tinny bit of RLM commentry.

Did anybody order this from Grand Prix Legends? Because I ordered it ages ago, when it was announced, and haven't got it yet. I could've got it last week from town!
Emailed them twice, no reply... |

all these were made by Brian Kriesky and his team and are the last before official ACO footage became the order of the day. if you can, get the 84 one - quite simply, the best Le Mans video you will ever see. it is stunning in every way including very emotive commentary throughout and breathtaking shots of the Mulsanne during the opening laps. |

I finally got my copy of this year review DVD over the weekend, can't say I am that impressed seems on par to resent reviews IMO.

I ordered it quite a while ago from Sendit.com - they had it going for £13 with no p&p but its been out of stock. I can't understand how a DVD can be out of stock within days of its release when they ought to be able to predict its likely audience fairly accurately...... On the subject of commentary, I'd prefer it if they brought out a version with no commentary at all, just the cars! I absolutely detest the added-on commentary we've had to suffer for the last 8-9 years. I suppose its because the old Sportsseen RLM vids were just sooooo good..... |

The last one with RLM coverage (commentary) was 1995 (IIRC). Sorry Rob, I missed your reply. Confirms my thinking though. Last edited by Aysedasi; 20 Sep 2004 at 20:37. |

Got my copy a few weeks back from Halfords. Gotta say that whilst the commentry isnt great, it is adaquete IMO, Ive been getting the LM DVD's/Videos for the last few years now and its been the same guy commentating. Sure hes no Murray Walker but he does a reasonable job IMO. The DVD's IMO are slowly getting better too, this years DVD had a few more extras thrown in I beleive than the 2003 edition does, not 100% sure on that though.
All in all a great DVD, a must have for any sportscar fan IMO. |

I fully accept the guy does a decent job SALEEN, its just the pretence of a "live" commentary when we know its added on which irks me. Especially when we know that the recording of the RLM commentary is almost certainly available...... |

I really do think they need better commentary.
BTW wouldn't it be good if Channel 4 did the decent coverage they gave it a while ago |

Was it actual "live" commentary though Mike, or added-on?
Funnily enough, I didn't get to see it......... |

I was getting ready to eat at Le Grand Luce - just out of RLM range. Some of the guys arrived a few minutes later, having heard the news. I didn't find out what had really happened until about 2 hours later when I got back to the circuit......
