Corvette Annihilates Tire Wall At Le Mans
Corvette Annihilates Tire Wall At Le Mans-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:31

Sadly, it is the No. 64 Corvette’s turn for bad luck this year. The 2015 race-winning team burst open a tire wall at Turn 1 after driver Tommy Milner lost control. Fortunately, Milner is okay, but the car certainly isn’t.

The heaviest crash of Le Mans yet brought out a slow zone in order to allow workers to safely repair the barrier. Barrier repairs continue as we speak. Milner was vying for a top-five position at the time of the crash.

Additionally, the No. 35 Baxi DC Racing Alpine LMP2 brought out another slow zone right at the same time as it nosed into the barrier. It, too, was vying for a top-five spot in its class.

Alpine driver Nelson Panciatici wasn’t quite sure that his car was unrepairable until marshals lifted his car up to take it to safety.

Before 2011, the Brickyard 400 race was just that—the Brickyard 400. NASCAR made it into an iconic name, its annual trip to Indianapolis’ famous , to go along with the often boring show by stock cars on a track made for open-wheel racing. But for nearly a decade now, the...

Here's How Much It Costs To Run An Underfunded NASCAR Race Team
Costs in NASCAR are a murky thing. The sport stopped publicizing prize money in its top series in 2016, teams often and a common belief is that younger drivers will than the older ones. But one team had to disclose how much it spent to make it through the 2016...

Hold It In And Don't Exhale
Hold It In And Don't Exhale
Sometimes there’s a video so insane that I find myself involuntarily holding my breath while I watch it. This is one of those videos. A rally stage actually went through this super-narrow, obviously pre-car street. At first, from this angle, it doesn’t look like they’ll even make it. But they...
