Default Le Mans 2008

The 2008 Le Mans was very good, the 63 Corvette came in as number 2, but still it was a very good Le Mans 2008.
The Corvettes sounds VERY good, I am sure that the 63 Corvette will be number 1, in 2009, of course if Jan Magnussen is driving again

Look for the vette to win GT1 next year. A minor brake problem and 3/4 lap down at the finish won't happen again. :flag

Not the year 63 ----- number 63

GM has traditionally been the cry babies of GT1 racing. When they couldn't win they would push though regulations to phase out the winning cars. Like Vipers and others. If you can't beat them make them add weight. If you still can't beat them make up an air restriction rule that eliminates anything bigger than the 427 ci Vette motor.

I like to see Vettes race. But i also like to see them get beat.
