Corvette Racing has not had an engine failure in the past 11 years at Lemans. This year they have both engines fail.
Let see prior to this they had Katech engines. This year the have GM engines. |
No answer for the why #63 vette engine failure. The #64 lost most of her oil when the oil tank was hit during the accident which may have hurt the motor on the drive back to the pits.

Update from Pratt and Miller: Fuel used burnt hole in a piston on both motors.

It was a beautiful sight to see the Corvette's running P1 & P2 for so long. And I was quite impressed on how world feed showed so much of the C6R's!! It was quite a disappointment to see both of them with DNQ's. But on the flip side of this it showed that they can run with the rest of those GT2 cars!! Looking forward to possibly going to Mid-Ohio or Petit Le Mans(which ever one I can afford to goto:lol:)
