24hr LeMans media reminder June 13-15
#21
The talk of a mid-engine Corvette is getting stronger and stronger... I kinda wonder nowadays.
I'm glad to see the GT heading back to Le Mans, but... aside from the fanfare, it's not that huge a deal. That is, there are other circuits and ways to advertise.
There was at least 1 Viper(LMGTE Am, not PRO) in the 24, but I thought it DNF. Is that what you meant by "hasn't returned to the same category?"

When Viper had Dodge backing, it was nearly untouchable... I think it was Team Oreca, but whatever the name, it dominated endurance racing for years.

I must admit, I think manufacturer backing makes the biggest difference anymore. Those who designed and built the car have the advantages on their side and when they have manufacturer backing to the point of basically endless money, they can make whatever they need to gain the edge.
