Vettes are 2nd and 4th. The 4 car was battling for 1st with the Ferrari, but for some reason they have faded. I think Ferrari is going to take this one. Sadly the Vettes have done well, they just can't keep up.

Ferrari is going to take the champ, but Corvette could still get a 1st here, 15 laps left and Ferrari is in the pit.

Ferrari runs out of fuel on the final lap. Oliver Gavin passes him to take the GT2 win!

Ferrari ran out of gas and they even came in for an emergency splash of extra fuel to avoid that.

Biggest mistake of seconds ever! What could have 2 more seconds of fuel been worth to them?

A win is a win I guess, but these guys have a ton of work to do for next year. They have to find some speed somewhere.
