Joining The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime Video are two motorsports-related documentaries. The new shows will focus on the McLaren Formula One team’s journey across the current F1 season and the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans race happening in June. The unnamed Formula One series will follow the McLaren F1 team on 20 stops as it tries to catch up with the rest of the pack following its new engine deal with Honda. It’ll show everything from how the cars are built and tested to how sponsorship and partnership deals are made.
Meanwhile, Le Mans: Racing is Everything will give Amazon “unprecedented access” to the entire 24-hour race. There will be film crews following around the Porsche, Nissan, Aston Martin, Audi, Rebellion, and Toyota teams. They’ll be tagging along some high-profile drivers including Mark Webber, Nico Prost, and the 19-year-old Jann Mardenborough, who won a slot courtesy of the GT Academy e-sports competition.
