53rd Sebring 12 Hours 2005 |
We are spoiled today with Corvettes
racing live on TV's Speed Channel. And
their coverage is better than any paper journalist could hope to accomplish.
Two C6-R(acing) and one C5-R Corvette finished 2nd, 3rd,
6th in the GT1 class.

Little harm was done and after a check in the
pits, Corvettes were still 1-2 in GT-1 class with 5 hours to go.
