Re: LeMans Corvettes
Can you believe how sweet the sound of that corvette coming out of the pits. I loved the comment of the driver who use to drive for Porche. Now that you've driven a corvette what do you think. I'm keeping this one.
Got to love it!! Best comment of the day!

Re: LeMans Corvettes
Watching as the sun rises, this looks like "more fun than a human should be allowed to have".
Oh Sh t. Just went into the tires pile as I was about to say "Like to be that smooth".
Could I be that smooth? With many laps of practice? One of my regrets.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

Re: LeMans Corvettes
I'm responding late to this but What a Finish!! Beretta, Milner & Garcia sure got the job done!!! It was too bad for the 74 car, it was bit of a demolition derby at times, Audi suffered the worst but managed an impressive win overall.
BTW- I loved the Corvette commercial they ran- "they asked us to tune our car down 168hp to make things fair" ha
ha!
Congrats to the Corvette Racing Team!

Re: LeMans Corvettes
I got a message from Tom Falconer, UK Chapter Judging Chairman, with a picture that is worth to share IMO:
"Last weekend i did 1100 miles in my newly restored 1954 V8 speedster Corvette to Le Mans and back. My car was chosen to lead the Parade des Pilotes, and as a bonus I had the wives of Corvette drivers Beretta and Milner as passengers. Picture attached. These drivers then won their class in the #73 Corvette."
