| Ok. So the #90 German-built Callaway Competition Corvette piloted by Magnussen, Westbrook and Milner kinda got its ass kicked this time 'round the 'ring. It was plagued with troubles from the second hour on but in true badboy style it fought on and came within 20 minutes of completing the full 24 hours of this famously grueling 15.2 mile circuit.
After the first hour, Westbrook had driven the Corvette from 18th to 10th overall. Soon after he ran over some carbon fiber debris and punctured a tire which in turn did a lot of damage to the rear - the car had to be towed back to the paddock. The car returned to the track thirty laps down in 158th position. During the night a half shaft broke which required further repairs. By the 23rd hour #90 had moved up to 89th position overall, but ultimately it was not meant to be. With 20 minutes to go the car had a major mechanical failure and the team ended up finishing 120th overall out of 177 entries.
Let's move on to the 24 Hours of Le Mans with our own Corvette Racers.
Bring 'em on! |
