The nonpublic screening of the documentary took place yesterday, yay! The long search for a suitable venue paid off and the high quality of image and sound thrilled the whole team. Unfortunately, for the time being, our documentary will not be available for sale in the CR. We sold 30,000 DVD’s but so far only to partners of BPA Sport Marketing. The London-based company IMG is in charge of distribution for the time being. As soon as we know the date, when the documentary will be distributed on DVD, possibly cinemas, you will be the first to know. 19.11.2008
Our DVD finally saw the light of the day! The unbelievable has come true and everything is done. 13.11.2008
Yes, we found a cinema! We had a test run and everything is ready. The nonpublic screening will take place on November 19 in Cinema Světozor in Prague. Keep your fingers crossed! 10.11.2008
e have still not given up on the plan to make a nonpublic screening of our documentary. We are on the hunt for a cinema that would be able to play digital format and 5.1 sound, which is not as easy as it may sound. Cinemas, which we like, do not satisfy the technical requirements. We hope that we will eventually find a solution to this problem and find a suitable venue. 3.11.2008
We are currently finishing narration for the documentary. Martin Stránský took up the role of the Czech narrator, in the English version you will hear Robert Russell. 25.10.2008
We are preparing a nonpublic screening for partners and makers of the documentary. However, our team has to face one obstacle after another, as the documentary has been made in digital format and it seems that to show it and have the image and the 5.1 sound in high quality is a task beyond human capabilities. 22.10.2008
We are another step closer to finishing the documentary, we began putting together sound with image. 20.10.2008
The sound is complete! It’s awesome, it will definitely take your breath away! 10.10.2008
We are finishing the last things for the DVD such as the Menu. As we mentioned already, the DVD will include not only the film itself, but also bonuses, additional scenes, behind the scenes, making of, photo gallery, and a special bonus. 8.10.2008
Today, we handed the whole film over to sound, to our favorite Studio Virtual. 26.9.08

The first half of our team arrived in Le Mans in the early morning hours. They were very nervous, anxiously awaiting the shipment of their equipment, which left Prague a day earlier. It’s no surprise since its value is around several million. Will it all arrive safely? Or did the truck get in an accident?? Who knows? Not all of it came in one piece.
In the afternoon hours there was safety and technical examination of the vehicles. The same occurred the following day as well.
Our team also caught a tour of the beautiful automobile museum, which was close to the racecar arena.
