Got To Look At The Bright Side
Jeff,
Cheer up! Like Duke says, its only the FIRST year.
Third/fourth finish in GTS, and tenth/eleventh overall ain't shabby at all. To me, what was impressive is the consistency of the C5R TEAM effort; the cars, pit crews, and drivers delivered consistent performance that was not quite good enough (yet) to beat ALL those German snakes, but they were right there with the leaders, and they were TOGETHER.
You have to remember that there were about six (?) Snakes in the race, and the C5Rs skinned all but two of them. Previous attempts by private parties, bless their hearts, could not even get the Corvettes qualified.
Wait till next year. I hope GM maintains the commitment to WIN, drops that sluggard LMP, and pours the resources into the Corvette team.
