BMW had a legit chanced to win until they punted that GT car, and later got into the back of a Porsche. They had a great race going and it fell apart 30 minutes from the end.
Reportedly unveiling the Ford GTP program this Thursday in Charlotte as well. Might end up being a huge week for the blue oval.
Yeah, they’ve figured out the reliability for the most part and the pace is great now. Indy and the Fuji WEC race late last year showed that as well. I like the driver lineup shakeup this season too. Dries is awfully quick and aggressive, he just stepped over the edge once too many times today.
Didn't GM say hey had exhausted the front engine format and to be competitive they had to build a mid engine Corvette? LOL
Their good but I don't think they'd win the 24 hours of Daytona.
Oops
Agreed. As competitive as a race could be, let alone an endurance race like this!
True…that said, the C7.R was sundowning at a time when they were competing against Ford’s own mid-engined car in the Ford GT. The 911 RSR at the time was also more mid-mounted than rear-mounted after getting a waiver to adjust from the road car to the race car. The final couple of years years were a struggle before the C8.R and now Z06 GT3.R - which is a fantastic car in its own right and got great results yesterday too.
