24 hrs of Le Mans

Race is underway. Good luck to all and a safe race.

C6R's Swan Song. Its history has been stellar since its debut. Whooped many of the top sports cars in the business and collected many podiums. Keeping my fingers crossed for another checkered at Le Mans and send it off on a high note and set up the C7R. GO CORVETTE!

Already this season the Vettes won 2 of 3 races in the ALMS series. Already have our tix(one free) for the race at Limerock July 6. Heads up for Veterans, free admission for Vets in Ct. Check your nearby tracks where they hold ALMS(or other races) and see if they offer the great deal for service men there!

It's a cool race. More of a marathon really. As you said "Good luck to all and a safe race."

One Aston wrecked hard. Faces of teammates dont look encouraging. Too long of a wait to get some type of med report. Fingers crossed for the driver.

Pulling for Aston Martin. I hope that driver is OK.

No - he succumbed to injuries. So sad.

Allan Simonsen RIP.

Horrific news. 34 year old Dane. Thoughts for the family.

Yes the family has much to deal with.

To their credit, although in grief, they told the team owner to keep driving the other Aston Martin and to dedicate the race (and I hope the class win) to Allan's memory.
