Anyone see the latest rides?

Daaaaahhhmmmm! Those Vette's were sick! Too bad they had so many problems during that race. The Porsche took one of them out lol! Anyways, check it out if you get to see this one. It's on TLC.

I saw it. I've seen the C5-R in action before and didn't think they were that great. (Yes, I know they won their class at Le Mans twice). In major endurace competitions, I tend to root for the Audis, since BMW has been absent from the prototype classes for a while now.

It's incredible how fast parts can be changed on modern race cars. I'm involved to a degree with the SunTrust Daytona Prototype in Grand-Am, and the entire rear end can be changed in roughly 20 minutes - less time than it takes to change one corner. what will be done is a fresh rear end will be put on the car and the broken one wheeled back to the garage and repaired in case another failure occurs in that same race.
