Corvette Racing Finishes Third and Fourth At Petit Le Mans

The penultimate round of the American Le Mans Series saw intense wheel-to-wheel combat between the Corvette C6.Rs and the Aston Martin DBR9s. Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Jan Magnussen finished third in the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R behind the No. 007 and No. 009 Aston Martins.

Ron Fellows, Johnny O'Connell and Max Papis were fourth in the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R. Corvette Racing was again handicapped with performance adjustments, spotting their rivals a 110-pound weight advantage and larger engine restrictors. The Corvettes were able to make it a race for the first seven hours, but extended pit stops to change the front brake rotors and calipers proved costly. "When you combine the weight and the restrictor penalties that have been imposed on the Corvettes, we're at a 50 to 60-horsepower disadvantage," said Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan. "In order to compensate for that on a track like Road Atlanta you have to try to make up the difference. We tried to do that with brakes today - it was the only option we had. Obviously it was less successful than we'd hoped, but the reality is that we were already relegated to third and fourth place finishes based on the performance adjustments," Fehan explained. "It was certainly worth a try to move up a little bit, but we simply can't race with these penalties."

The four-hour race will begin at 2:45 local time (5:45 p.m. EDT). The ALMS season finale will be televised on the SPEED Channel from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. EDT.
