A Porsche had the GT2 win in hand until a goofy little shifter problem reared its head in the dying hour.

eh, i was hoping that the LMP2 spyder would be there too; but we cant have porsche lapping faster then Audi, now can we... sure, the Audi would win, but because of consumption etc.
anyway, way to go Vette!

Actually there was a trio of 550 Maranellos in GT1.

old and retired...Surprised they still raced them...not even 575s...
|
Isn't that because the 575 could never beat the 550 ? hehe
|
It could, it's just that prodrive didnt get their hands on them.

That was a close race between aston and the corvette, only 5 laps difference after 24 hours. I love both the corvette and aston so them being one two, is a win win for me. Go the Corvette.
