    A few years ago, Peter Brock (of Cobra Daytona coupe fame) suggested in one of the big Corvette magazines that GM should commission an LSX-powered prototype. Of course they're bankrupt, etc.... #lemansracing

    @theeastbaykid: Why bother when the Corvette team is crushing Ferraris and Porsches comfortably in the GT class? There's nothing GM can gain from beating Aston Martins, Audis, and Peugeot.

    Unless Cadillac were to go racing again... #lemansracing

    @Pessimippopotamus: Actually, what is the latest with the GT classes? In ALMS, Corvette Racing was running essentially unopposed in GT1 (the 911s and F430s were in GT2), but I seem to remember that was going to change for 2010. I'd love to see the Corvette move down into GT2 and face real competition. Internationally, I have no idea where the Corvette fits in/stacks up. I know they've lost to Aston in recent years at Le Mans in GT1, but I've got no knowledge of other overseas GT racing. #lemansracing

    @theeastbaykid: Customer cars in FIA GT races do pretty well, actually. A GT1 C6.R often in podium position.

    In ALMS, they were running quite literally unopposed. At Le Mans, Corvettes and the DBR9s were neck and neck. Actually that made me sad to see GT1 class go. The last two years have been extremely exciting to watch.

    Even in GT2, they're massively potent, from what I saw during the Laguna Seca race. #lemansracing

    I got to fall asleep at to the sound of that V10 engine at LeMans this year. It has the most beautiful note of any engine I have ever heard. It beats out V12 F1 cars, big blocks, bikes, and any Italian stallion, bull, or other animal. Pure noise. No distortion, no roughness, no hint of misfire. It was the music of the gods. #lemansracing

    Oh, Le MANS. Sorry, I thought I was reading Jalopnik's coverage of that other, more important racing series. #lemansracing

    Looks like a substantial design advance over the R-10. Did they roll the car out there without an engine or air plenum cover attached? Or did they switch to a flat engine without telling anyone?

    @layabout now with V8 power: Didn't LeMans make that ad-hoc rule about refueling-limited-by-energy-content? I remember that they were kicking it around for a while because Audi was (is) so dominant with diesels.


    I'm in the dark on all of this. The only motosports I ever see on basic cable is NASCAR and the occasional IRL race. And even that is only on weekends.

    @Ash78: Spot on,there was/is some rule that favours diesels that the rulemakers tried changing when Audi started to dominate the class. It seems the powers that be have little else to do other than change rules & visit brothels.

    That thing just screams "bodywork by mandate"


    If they could get away with a Kraut riding atop an engine and four wheels, they'd do it.
