Hell yeah!!! Corvette Racing did phenomenal job. So happy for them. It won't be their last #1 finish.

Both cars looked to have good pace, but I think they screwed up the fuel load on the #4, and they had to back off. Other than that, they looked good for a possible 1-2 finish. I think the C8R will be a really good race car, I just hope the GTLM class doesn't go away after Porsche leaves, hopefully IMSA has some ideas on bringing in some competition.

Looks like the time off was good for them and some things were figured out. Great to see them win!
To some more in the future

Same here. Even though I love the Corvette Racing Team, it's not much fun to watch a race where all they have to do is beat 4 or 5 other cars. Not very interesting.

Regardless, congrats Corvette Racing!

The C7.R is dead. Long live the C8.R! Just afraid the GTLM class is on life support and will be gone at the end of the year. Hard to justify a class with just two manufacturers in it.

Make some adjustments and combine it with GTD.

That would be fun to watch!
