    Looks like we will finally get to see some racing in the GTS class as the Corvettes and the Aston Martins go head to head.

    These are from the ALMS website. The Corvettes have also tested the new C6R at Sebring. I am sure Barton has the skinny on testing times but someone told me that the C6R was running about the same lap times as last year (new rules for 05 changed much on the Corvettes). I am told the DBR9's were within a second and half of the Corvette's time.

    Regards,

    Jon P. Kofod (who may actually see some real racing in ALMS this year :) )

    It certainly is a beautiful car, hopefully now GTS won't be a Chevy vs Chevy battle.

    Is this Aston Martin going to Le Mans 24 Hour Race in France? Also does anyone know if Aston Martin has ever won the Le Mans 24 Hour Race? I am curious to know.

    Greg,

    Not sure yet. I know Sebring is a warm-up for their LeMans effort. I'll let you know as soon as I find out. Road Atlanta would indeed be a good road trip.

    Regards,

    Jon, just caught a couple of your videos. Very nice driving! Loved watching the F40 spool up on each straight in the watkins glen/FCA video.
