I admire the efforts of team Vette. They do whatever it takes to keep car on track where others would have retired theirs. Although, I don't recall team Vette having so many mechanical issues in past events.
Best pic from race was Ferrari flaming front left wheel/wheel well in slow motion. Looked pretty cool. Best video is a tie between Toyota flipping in air after Ferrari "pit maneuvered" it & lap around LeMans from Vette cockpit.

Ya, it does. Why doesn't GM use that crank in a street vette?
The 458's sure are good lookin' cars. Although, once again a dumba$$ Ferrari driver takes out a P1 car; last year took out McNish in an Audi, this year, the Toyota Hybrid.
Race just isn't the same without Peugot. Both vettes are in trouble. The husband/wife team that drives a Ford GT is missing this year, as well.

Both were horrific accidents. Thankfully, modern technology was in use. Otherwise, both Audi drivers may have been seriously injured or worse.
Don't know if the 458 is just difficult to see out of or if in each case it was an amature driver in the Ferrari. This years' crash was caused by an amature. Last year, am not sure. Too long ago for me to remember.
