My most lasting memory on Corvette:
2001, a rained out race: miles ahead of the opposition, and then surrender at least 2 or so places in the overall standing because of parking a healty enough to continue car for more ten half an hour in th pits.
Talk about showing confidence in the drivers and the car....
Sweetest result of that: a much laughed off LMP2 car with nothing more than a humble VW engine ending up in fifth place overall. Not even mentioning two Porsche of the GTS2 category also putting the Corvette further down in the overall standings.
Most laughable result: Corvette advertising winning the class in the Le Mans 24 hours instead of what was by own choice a "Le Mans Less than 24 hours"
Definitely not their finest hour other then that their direct opponents in the class did even worse.....
Sorry but I didn't vote: found the year but not the reasons why I remember the year so well....
By the way: Vette in my language means "Fat" like in "Fat men". Some associations with the cars you have in mind can't escape me.....
