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

That's what I am doing - just eating popcorn, watching from the sidelines and wondering why people have to go out of their way to be pricks.. *shrug*

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!

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.
