Well done to Autosport for the usual crap reporting.

Most of us who race value Autosport quite similarly to Andrex..... It's supposed to be the last outting for the GT1 cars isn't it?
Yep final factory outing for the GT1 cars, obviously the ones running in FIA GT, FFSA GT etc will continue running and I am guessing that at least one of the factory cars will be up for sale shortly after Le Mans!
Might be cheaper to go to Sebring!
Corvettes will be at LM 2009, Excellent news !
see here :-)))))
Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan is quick to reconfirm Corvette Racing's GT1 program in the first half of the 2009 American Le Mans Series.
"The primary focus of the race team is the 12 Hours of Sebring, Long Beach and, of course as it always has been, the 24 Hours of Le Mans," Fehan said. "We tested the GT1 car at Sebring in November. And we will be utilizing Sebring and Long Beach to put the final touches on the Le Mans effort.
We're continuously developing the car and package for fuel mileage, efficiency and new materials from our various suppliers. We want our last GT1 appearance at Le Mans to be successful. The team understands the importance of a victory at Sebring, Long Beach and Le Mans to close the GT1 program."
The highly anticipated GT2 Corvette is still scheduled to debut at Mid-Ohio in early August, Fehan added.
"Engineering and fabrication continues to focus on the GT2 program," he said. "We expect the first actual race car to be completed in early February and will be testing that car in the spring."
