Sure, a 10 minute YouTube video can be considered a bit long these days but this is no ordinary vlog style video. This is, however, no normal documentary-style video, there is, in fact, no consistent narration. This video is made up of B-roll footage laced together to take you into the development process of the latest Porsche 911. For example, instead of someone overloading your brain with big words about the suspension and traction control system, you get a few minutes of actually seeing the car on a track being put through various tests. You will also see some cold-weather testing, and hot weather testing as well as testing of various other 911 components. Everything from the clay model to the finished car can be seen with minimal explanation and we love it.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111191\" src=\"https:\/\/tembisan.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2020\/04\/2020-porsche-911-development-drives_100677741.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Porsche 911 992 Documentary\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D5oo6i-ahW4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Ford GT: The Return to Le Mans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the massive success of the recent Ford vs Ferrari movie, Ford Motor Company has released a 78-minute documentary which we found on YouTube which takes you behind the scenes of its return to Le Mans. This documentary tells the entire story with first-person interviews of everyone from designers and engineers to the racing drivers themselves about the long and challenging road to crossing the finishing line at the infamous racing circuit. The video starts by diving into the history of Ford&#8217;s racing and the reasons why it raced in Le Mans in 1960. Fast forward nearly five decades, and Ford decided to return to Le Mans to repeat that performance for the victory\u2019s 50th anniversary. The story, however, shows the rawness of a project like this, depicting the team&#8217;s low points in an emotional style. This needs to be added to your watch list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111193\" src=\"https:\/\/tembisan.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2020\/04\/the-ford-gt-completes-its-fairytale-2016-le-mans-win-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<div class='tie-fluid-width-video-wrapper tie-ignore-fitvid' style='margin-bottom: 30px;'>\n\t\t\t<iframe style='width: 100%; min-height: 300px; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;' src='https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/vYlEI46g2vU' loading='lazy'><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>Fassbender\u2019s Road To Le Mans Porsche Documentary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Staying with Le Mans, Porsche has also released a short documentary which has been split into a few episodes where Hollywood actor Michael Fassbender attempts to race at Le Mans however the road to get to the starting grid is long and challenging.

These two events push drivers, teams and all involved to the limits.
