American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans

Kurt Busch, a NASCAR champion, makes a decision that shocks motorsport: he leaves oval racing for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The camera follows him through 2023 — from initial tests on European circuits to the finish line of the world's most prestigious endurance race. This 2025 documentary captures not just the technical challenge of transitioning from a stock car to an LMDh prototype, but the psychological recalibration of a driver wired for sprints. We see team engineers trying to adapt his aggressive style for endurance strategy, while Busch himself grapples with language barriers, a new culture, and the skepticism of European peers. It's a story not about victory, but about the outer edge of human capability, filmed with unprecedented access to garages and the track.
