This was a very nice "privateer" team to have run at LeMans and the other Euro FIA races. I'm sure someone will buy the cars and run them in other Euro GT-series. I figuered something was up when he didn't order a GT2 race car. He was a worthy competitor and definitely reinforced the Corvette brand. All Corvette race fans will miss this fine gentleman.
