Default Corvette Racing does it again!

Another ALMS GT-1 title and another manufacturers championship.

They really hung with the Aston Martins at Leguna Seca! It would be nice to see more than just 4 GT-1 cars however

Congrats to the Corvette RacingTeam!

Too bad the rules are so slanted to favor the Aston Martins. Races should be won on driver skills and car performance, not the fine print in the rule book.

None the less, good show CORVETTE RACING!!!!!!

I hear you man. I would love to see som of the "others" there too.

I was heart broken after Road Atlanta too, but it is nice that the Aston's are true competition now...
