The GT classes (my favorite) are so fun to watch. Im glad the two corvettes were really racing to the end, and were able to do it with respect to the other and not complete ruin someones day. Throughout the entire race, all GT cars were very close and competitive. Some just had more issues than others(Ford’s teething issues). Let’s just hope the BoP doesn’t ruin everything like it did last year. IMSA/NASCAR learned a lot from last years mistakes, and learned a lot in the off season. We will see if it pays off.

Ford GT - same as GT40 in the 60ies. New car, plenty problems to sort out, before turning into a champ.
