[LWheel19]

He posted the video on Friday... the Vitesse lap would have been on Wednesday-Friday when the weather was better :o)

[pulliam1234]

he didnt even get to go through 12 at speed? that is the best part of the entire track.

They didn't production build the Grand Sport until 2010.

[JRWILDY]

not really a hot lap more of a strole around

[RedHatchi]

ummm.. im pretty sure this is 2008 cuz in 2009 it got rained out.. and it doesnt look rainy there.

2008 was really dry and somewhat sunny like this video. so this has to be wrong.

Uh, yes they make camera mounts, but the Vitesse program doesn't really allow you to get in and setup your nerd video camera. The rides are usually on a tight schedule in between many other events and right before the race. Give us a break.

[VagueIconoclast]

Uh, they make something called a camera mount....

[Kiraina]

I can haz downshift?

[standj21]

hmm... I worry at what point does GM drop the corvette development program for fiscal expediency.

[redhot916spd]

at the point we get to drop kick your nuts

[standj21]

sorry you don't like the comment, but I I'm working with the higher ups at Pratt and Miller (ALMS GT2 corvette team) and there development budget is getting thiner, GM is cutting a lot of there funding...I mean, did you even understand what I was trying to say??? I don't think you did..

[redhot916spd]

sorry I have heard so many negative comments about this car I thought you were another rank and file hater! I see your point. This would be a tragedy to lose Pratt and Miller and Katech , development of the corvette I consider critical to the american car industry.

[standj21]

speaking of which, I'm having

lunch with Johnny O'Connell tomorrow, are there any sentiments you would like me to pass on?

[redhot916spd]

Tell him,  regarding driving I wish I were him, and from a Corvette fans perspective to please not give up on this program. Corvette's are like a symbol of what is great about the USA, and it's one of that last things I have to believe in. Cause so many other things in the country are bullshit, when I see one it's like looking at the American flag

[mra2z]

snicker snicker teehee.

[standj21]

What are you a little bitch with a skinned knee???Fuck off you G damn prick... I'm sorry that you can't be polite to people with good and credible comments, I just spit the truth.

Fucker!

[redhot916spd]

? did something get lost in translation here?I don't understand why this comment was directed at me? I'm a pretty huge fucking fan of the corvette

[puFoNiT]

Tell GM that if they don't fund Corvette development, I won't go to both annual ALMS races and I won't buy their products anymore.

[guarana80]

Is this the sort of vehicle being developed by iRacing?

[BooC5]

Awesome vid. Good time for sure!

The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP is a sports prototype racing car built by the French automobile manufacturer Peugeot to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, starting in 2007[1] and eventually winning in 2009. This effort, in development since 2005, was publicly unveiled on 15 June 2006. It first competed against the Audi R10 TDI, becoming the second diesel engined sportscar from a major manufacturer, and then against the Audi R15 TDI. This was Peugeot's first Le Mans effort

[standj21]

I think your mistaken about when they unveiled there intent, they said two years before Audi's TDI that they where developing a diesel Prototype for LeMans, that's what prompted Audi to start a diesel program.

[punchthedog]

2009 was Peugeot's 7th time racing at Le Mans. 1926, 1991, 1992, 1993, 2007, 2008 and 2009. They have won 3 times; 1992, 1993, & 2009.

[shjesus]
