Corvettes go 1-2 in their class at Le Mans
This is the fourth 1-2 GT1 finish they have had in five years. It was a great race to see on the Speed channel. They beat two factory Aston Martin DBR9s, one Ferrari 575 GTC, and several Ferrari 550s.

Re: Corvettes go 1-2 in their class at Le Mans
The heat got to the Aston's in the end I think. Corvette seemed better prepard for it. I was sat with a view in to both pits and the Aston drivers looked terrible every time they got out of the car.
As an Asron fan I have to congratulate Corvette on a great job. I thiink we pushed pretty hard, but just weren't quite there on the day. Still, Dave Richards promised the British fans he'd be back for another try next year!

It was a great race.
The DBR9 is the first factory-backed Aston Martin race car in over a dozen years. I wish Ferrari backed their cars in racing.

The vettes had way more experience and that showed at the end.

It would be good to see Ferrari produce a new prototype though, a next generation 333SP. Build it for LMP2 and put it up against the rumoured new Porsche prototype... well I can dream can't I?

Yes, but those Ferraris didn't have the support like the C5-R.
They had a huge crowd.

Perhaps the same could be said of the Ferrari Enzo, but Ferrari doesn't back their cars in racing these days.

I know that the Maserati MC12 is based on the Ferrari Enzo. In fact, I saw it today in the American Le Mans Series at Portland, Or.
