Jan Mag just got nailed into the tyre barrier after an LMP clipped him. Only about 20 laps aswell so not the greatest of starts for Corvette Racing.
I'm sure Nige will soon be on here with some pics of the incident. Are you playing "press" again this weekend?
"playing"? how rude......yep I got some pics.....about 1,200 over the weekend....here are just a few.I'm sure Nige will soon be on here with some pics of the incident. Are you playing "press" again this weekend?

I'm out in California right now running one of our tours with all customers using Corvettes from us
(photos to folow) and if anyone is thinking of seeing a race here in the States next year, our
Californa Corvette tour will include the final race at Laguna Seca in 2008.
