LeMans 24 Hour 20: Corvette grabs lead in LMGTE-Pro
#63 Corvette in the hunt now |
While the other categories are not close and boring as heck, LMGTE-Pro has been a barn burner from the start. The USA Corvette team hung back for most of the race but now with 4 hours to go is right in the hunt with their #63 car leading from the #91 Porsche and the #67 Ford GT. It may come down to pitstops now and who can run trouble free to the end.
The lone #1 Porsche LMP1 car continues to hold an 11-lap lead for the over win and the 2nd #2 Porsche who is 14 laps down after earlier troubles is now 15th overall.
