C5R Question
I have a question for those of you that are knowledgeable about the C5Rs. I recently received a 1/18 Auto Art die-cast of the No. 4. A really cool and detailed die-cast btw. 
I noticed that on the back of each mirror there are small round holes. There are also similar details on the front quarter panels behind the “gills”. I looked back thru some magazines hoping that I could see what these details are on the 1:1 cars, and although they are present on the 1:1 C5Rs I couldn't determine exactly what they are.
So, does anybody know what they are?
TIA,
Jules

last time I went to a GTS series race and saw the C5 R was back in '01 at Sebring Florida, but I think those holes are green lights and the top three cars in each class will have their position lit up by the number of lights. I think all Le Mans Series cars have those lights/holes. Thats at least what I think it means...
