I think the big story that isn't being covered, aside from the Audi diesels, is the fact that an old C5R can in third in the GT1 class and 7th overall. This car is 3-4 years old and does not have factory backing anymore even though it is a previous factory car that won.

BINGO!!!! Though still I think the best story is from back in "04" when ferrari was going to kick the americans *** at the second race sebring I think It burned to the freeken GROUND and after the race asked what he thought about it G.M. Vett. driver Andy Pilgrim says "OHHHH thay didnt have to do that,...a broken gearbox or diff. would have been enough!!!
