Alain De Cadenet - Le Mans 1981

In reply to an Atlas forum thread:
Clips from a 60 minute doco broadcast in 1982.
It's an hour long doc following Alain and Guy Edwards as they prepare for and then race at Le Mans in 81, pitching De Cad as the old school gentleman driver, and Edwards as the new breed of 80s businessman driver.

Victory By Design

Victory by Design is the best video series on classic cars ever made, in my view.

Presented by someone who knows what he's talking about, in a modest manner, he not only describes and shows the cars in detail but also drives them with skill and enthusiasm, usually in an idyllic setting. Immaculate cars driven with gusto! You wouldn't expect anything less from Alain de Cadenet...

And how does he keep looking so young?

Allez Allain.

Yep, Victory By Design was the series - it's available on DVD by now, too.

Great bit about one of the last gentleman racers of the modern era. Thanks! And the bit about the modeling with socks stuffed in his jeans? Too much!

That is really funny. Seeing someone who enjoyed it and really held his own right up there with the greats. Refreshing.

Alan was involved with a program that was about the history of Ferrari and probably a few other companies. It aired on Speed Vision about 5 years ago. Does anyone know what it's called?
