WooHoo! Go Corvette! One year I will be there in person.

It is lame how the regulations continue to get more stringent...do we really need to restrict the LMP1 cars power? Corvette qualified 4th and 6th. So far, Ollie is up to 2nd.

He walked away.

The Ferrari Italia, amazingly, was lifted back to the track and it just drove away with some smoke coming out from the rear end.

Watching the replay, it looked like a stupid move from McNish-- he tried to cut through the inside of a curve and just plowed into the Ferrari. Some of the folks on the other side of the wall need an underwear change now! That was close.

I wonder if Audi is gonna rebuild that car?

*edit* It doesn't look like McNish did anything stupid-- the Ferrari was hidden by the other car can probably came into view too late.

I'm wondering if McNish had a good view of the Ferrari ahead of the other car, the Ferrari definitely wouldn't have seen him coming. That was a hell of a wreck, and those photographers almost had a car on top of them. There is a reason you have to sign a waiver when you're shooting those races.

I know,, a couple of the tracks I was fortunate enough to have press credentials at had sections on the outside of high speed corners like that you were not allowed to shoot at...
