Default Le Mans track lap video

Hello Everyone,
I was at Le Mans last weekend filming a documentary on the Corvette Culture overseas...I was able to do a track lap and had fun with a Eurospec 09 ZR1 and some Aston Martins...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiGoJw4qd74

I also interviewed Johnny O'Connell,Jan Magnusson, Antonio Garcia of the winning GT1 Car #63, as well as favorite driver of all time, Ron Fellows...
It will be out on DVD in a few months,but for now...
here are some pics

Thanks,

I just finished watching the Speed Channel coverage (off my dvr) Lot of Vette coverage.

Thinking of painting one of my several sets of Speedlines gloss black for race tires on my z16.

yeah I considered it but the sound of the LS6 was too good to mix with.
