Just to get you in the mood. ....and even in this iconic taste of the Steve McQueen movie "Le Mans," Corvette is there.
Watch closely @ video time code 1:02 which captures the launch of the two Corvettes that were there in the 1970 race.
The black and white 'Vette, driven by Bourdon and Aubriet retired after an accident on lap 37. But that yellow Bad Boy, driven by Greder and Rouget, went on to capture 6th place overall and 1st in their GT class. (Classic 70's trivia: That black top on the Greder/Rouget 'Vette is a vinyl landau roof, so cool)
In 1970 Corvette was victorious in its GT class in all 3 endurance race events: Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans.
"Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting." .......Like for Le Mans 2008.
Just watched the movie last night, it sure got me fired up! I don't know if this is right, but I swear I saw a white C2 through out the race in addition to the green and yellow ones.
