Truth in 24 is a 2008 documentary film edited, written and directed by Keith Cossrow and Bennett Viseltear detailing Audi's preparation for the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans. The team is followed through several races prior to Le Mans, including the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 1000km of Monza. Neither race results in victory for Audi (although they did win class at Sebring) heading into Le Mans. The focus shifts to Le Mans itself, documenting the buildup to the race and the ultimate result of the race.{{Cite web|url=http://archive2.dailysportscar.com/viewArticle.cfm@articleUID=4A593BFD-1143-FDC9-35AAE303D00CC176.html|title=Truth In 24|last=Goodwin|first=Graham|date=6 February 2009|publisher=DailySportsCar|access-date=29 November 2019}}
