What we have here is a decent documentary about a small British team's road to Le Mans. There's not a lot of background or info on Le Mans, the cars, the team, etc. It just throws you in and assumes you're a fan of motorsport. I am, so that's fine. But I still felt it could have done with a bit more breadth of scope.
Jota is a private team that's been racing in the European endurance circuit for a number of years. This doc follows them on one season as they select drivers, race in qualifying races, and finally make it to the big day.
Pretty good quality. Tiff Needell does some of the v.o., so it's not a shoestring budget or anything. But the one shitty thing that really irked me was the music. It was horrible. Sounded like they just bought the rights to some garbage for $1000. Total pre-fab studio shit that sounded like an even pussier Evanescence or something. It was the detail that made this seem like less of a pro effort than it was. Music didn't fit. It sounded cheap and crap.
But other than that it was a good doc. Worth watching if you're into motorsport. It's the F1 off season so you might as well get your fix while you can.
