Damn... the #009 Aston was in the lead of the GT1 class and 4th in general about 4 hours before the race. Then, traditionally, something went wrong with the downshifting and they fell back many places. nice win for the Corvette, just shows that both speed, talent and durability is essential in order to gain the first spot.

Isn't that because the 575 could never beat the 550 ? hehe

Yes, congratulations to Panoz. Maybe this will be the kick in the butt Porsche needs to start really racing again, instead of spending its efforts at building SUV's and 4 door sedans.
