People who don't know anything about Le Mans are not wiser after watching it, Audi has the great chance to really educate a big audience about Le Mans but they don't... instead they focus on promoting their own efforts and that's it.

I was under the impression you'd watched Truth In 24? Clearly not. Maybe you forgot the countless reels of archive footage shown ahead of the race sequences.
They explain how features on road cars like wipers, headlights etc were all pioneered at Le Mans. They explain how champagne was sprayed for the first time at LM. They show the track, the ambience of the city and the parade. They have Hindy talking about multi-class sportscar racing.
They also showed themselves making tactical errors and basically getting their ass handed to them by Peugeot in the early season. They show their team smoking, swearing and at their rawest in terms of emotions.
Maybe you need to watch it again?
