Default Corvette Racing Interviews from Petit Le Mans

At Road Atlanta for Petit Le Mans. We spoke with Corvette Racing's Program Manager Doug Fehan and C6.R driver Johnny O'Connell.

Doug mentioned the ACO rules change next year will allow the team to run with Paddle Shifters. They are still working on the engine validation to remove a 15 kg weight penalty.

Doug is spinning. This was a really bad year. They have tremendous work to do. Remember, the Corvette does not race in a vacuum. Richard Childress would like some of Doug's money. H*ll, everyone in racing would like some of Doug's money.

Rrmember that Jim Campbell is in charge of GM racing. He's a few layers about Doug and Jim's office in the Tubes. The good news is that Jim used to be the Corvette Brand Manager back in the day. Corvette has a friend in Jim.

I'm glad Doug has stopped the trash talk. H*ll, he had do. The car was slower than Doug's mouth. Look of even more spin in the next few months.
