Watch Porsche’s Awesome ‘Road To Le Mans’ Documentary Here

Having to start in 60th position (out of 62 cars) is tough, but Fassbender took it in his stride and, with his team’s help, got the Proton Competition 911 RSR into 17th in its class. Unfortunately, another incident undid all this hard work, relegating Fassbender and company to 51st place overall.

“The outcome of the race was extremely sobering for the team and especially for Michael, even though the crew managed to reach the finish line after lengthy repairs,” said Borowski. “Although he was nicked down, he got straight back up. It soon became clear that he wanted to try again.”

Fassbender returned on the 100th anniversary of Le Mans to redeem himself. If you watched Le Mans, you’ll know how the actor’s stint behind the wheel ended. If you don’t, perhaps you should watch the documentary – it makes for thrilling viewing.
