Anyone watch the mini series Patrick Dempsey: Racing Le Mans?

[Troy]

I caught a few snippets of this and decided to record the whole thing. I'm normally NOT a fan of any sort of reality TV but I found it informative and interesting. Anyone else watch it?

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about... this was a 4 part mini series on Velocity about Patrick Dempsey's journey through creating/owning a team and becoming a more competitive driver with the ultimate goal of racing at Le Mans. Patrick is an actor (for those who really don't know) who loves cars and got hooked on sports car racing. There are a LOT of references to Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and James Garner with a bunch of old racing footage.

He was in Monterey in August during the car auctions with two other car collecting celebrities and I thought HE was the one who just came to check things out.  I don't mind finding out I was wromg.

It's nice to see what all of us without Velocity is missing.

I cauight some of it...   I really need some down time to catch up on stuff like this.

Lot of behind the scenes goings on and the never ending search for $$$$$$$

Obviously I think so or I wouldn't have watched it all. Of course, I don't always like what everyone else does.

Yep. At least on this show I can see where all that money is going. Unlike a lot of reality TV (like Gold Rush for instance) where they claim dollar figures that anyone with any sense knows are totally bogus.
