not a Vette fan, too popular. not a Chevy fan either....but a Vette taking wins in 2 classes, impressive.


if Chevy would enter into the F1A....maybe i would sway my mind.

 i think you guys already know i'm a ford nut.....but since ford isn't entering into these races....then i'll root for the next best, which is chevy.  :aok

 i thought they used to run the viper, but dunno if they still have anything in there.

 it'd be cool to see them and ford put something in there though. just to stir things up a bit.

Well actually Robertson Racing Teams 5.0L V8 Ford GT-R Mk. VII finished 26th overall and 2nd place in (am LMGTE Class) at the 24 hours of Le Mans and Pratt & Miller Engineering aka (Covette Racing) C6.R 5.5L V8 finished in 11th overall, and took 1st (pro LMGTE) Class and ( Larbre Competition) took 1st in the (am LMGTE class). i always like to watch Ford and Chevy compete at Le Mans, Chevy still rules the day between them at Le Mans.



edited to show Larbe Competition took 1st in (am LMGTE) class

ORECA Matmut use to run the Dodges but i believe they were labeled as Chryslers, was still a Viper at the end of the day and that was years ago. I didn't see a Viper on the spotters guide this year and don't remember the last time i did see one on it for Le Mans or the ALMS.

I see the Robertson Racing LLC Ford GT-R finishing 3rd in it's class ... behind the Larbre Competition Porsche 911 RSR (997) and then the Larbre Larbre Competition Chevy Corvette C6 Z.

The Corvettes taking 1st place in both the GTE Pro and the GTE Am is HUGE !!!

Corvettes would have finished 1st and 2nd in GTE Pro had the #74 Corvette, which was currently running 1st, not gotten into a crash with a Porsche. With the #74 Corvette out, the #73 Corvette had to make up 1 lap, with 6 hours remaining, before taking the win.

yea....i was kinda thinking that. the driver walked away from a crash that was 10 times worse than crashes on the street.........and that same crash in a 60's vintage car....or as penguin likes to call them....... a legacy car.......would prove fatal.

You have a point, it seems that I've underestimated the value of racing.  It makes cars safer for the rest of us.  On the other hand I've called 60s cars legacy cars?  If you would show me the quote, I'll :rofl
