I watched the last couple of hours. One of the C6R's crashed, actually the driver put it in to the tires to save it. The crew tape it back together and they still finished in the top 10.
It looks like from the screenshot, DB9 won the GT1 race.
Yeah,
Am I seeing something different???? Looks like Corvette took 2, 3, and 6. I didn't get to see the race but just reading the post, maybe I'm confused. Wouldn't be the first time for that!!
Lambo's quit last year. Lucky the Saleen broke in the last 20 minutes or they would have been one Vette less in the top three of the class. That's racing you need to finish to win.
I guess that answers the question someone posed the other day about how well the AM would do. It looks like the C6Rs have some good competition this year.

I love it! This will make the C6-R better to compete with the other cars and in turn, it will make our cars better. That's what racing does for cars and that's why I love racing. That's also why I hate NASCAR. The manufacturer's aren't learning anything from NASCAR.
It looks like Ford beat Chevy. Well.. Ford owns Aston Martin, so Ford indirectly beat Chevy.
Same with the Maserati. Ferrari owns Maserati, so Ferrari can race in the ALMS without putting their reputation on the line in case they lose. It's too bad that the car is oversize and against regulations. I wonder how that happened.
If you watched the race at all, the Maserati and the Aston Martin are downright gorgeous IMO.
The C6-Rs led the first 8 hours; then Johnny O had a brake rotor disintegrate, had to put it into the tires to stop the car (a very cool move, as he saved the car), got the buggy repaired and soldiered on to finish second in class behind the Aston; the other car was hit by another competitor, lost its right rear suspension, had the entire suspension replaced and went on to grab third in class.
The C6-Rs had enough to win but just had some bad racing luck. I think they'll be fine. I did not see the privateer C5-R ever lead, but I did not see the entire race.
