Again, Aston leads until late in the race then breaks down. The lead was less than a lap and the #64 Corvette was running it down by 4-5 seconds a lap. It was starting to look like a tight, close battle would be in the works the last hour. Too bad, as the Corvette team probably wanted to have them around to play at the end.

Congratulations Corvette Racing!

I could just watch the whole 20 hours that they broadcast. I run it through my speakers and subwoofer. Rember a couple years ago, they broadcast the whole 24 hours, that was great.

Corvettes First and Third in GT1 - the third place Corvette is the privateer in a C5-R. Pretty cool.

Rob,
That was a fantastic photo essay of your trip to Le Mans. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Good luck with the Dutch Chapter. Looks like you have some nice Corvettes over there.

Tom
