Nothing, unless you are a Ferrari fan.

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.

I did not think it was an oil loss issue. As I posted on another forum, the team has too much telemetry on the engine and drive train to not know that they were hurting the engine by have it driven back to the garage. If they show oil pressure dropping, they would have had the driver park it on track and not do any further damage to the motor. They sure would not have sent Ollie back out and run the times he did id the engine had be compromised.

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)
