| 53rd Sebring 12 Hours 2005 | 
  We are spoiled today with Corvettes
  racing live on TV's Speed Channel. And
  their coverage is better than any paper journalist could hope to accomplish.
  Two C6-R(acing) and one C5-R Corvette finished 2nd, 3rd,
  6th in the GT1 class. 
 | 
  | 
  In the pits above 2nd place
  car #3 with Fellows/O'Connell/Papis. 
 | 
  | 
  Above car #3 at speed . 
 | 
  | 
  Above the 3rd place car #4
  with Gavin/Beretta/Magnussen as it was hit by the
  dork in the back. 
 | 
    
 | 
| Luckily the damage to car #4 could be fixed in the pits.  | 
  | 
  Below the 6th place car #5 with
  Figge/Dalziel/Empringham 
 | 
  | 
  Two Corvettes were leading GT-1.
  Yeesssss ! and then almost a big Oooooops from
  car #5. Their first misfortune. 
 | 
  | 
  On the brakes and into the grass
  ...  
 | 
  | 
  and into the Hay Bales a la
  2005.  
 | 
  | 
  Little harm was done and after a check in the
  pits, Corvettes were still 1-2 in GT-1 class with 5 hours to go. 
 | 
  | 
  Car #5 then broke a left front suspension piece.  
 | 
  | 
  Car #5 with a blown tire was nursed back to the pits.  
 | 
  | 
  Car #5 in the pits being repaired.  
 | 
  | 
  Car #5 in the Penalty Box for having too many pit crew members over
  the wall, working on the suspension repairs. 
 | 
  Speed Channel provided a segment on the new C6-R
  Dashboard.
