Caught the dashcam from the Ferraris during quali. I suspect that the Gazoo boys will still be the ones to beat.

Screw the Ferraris.

That Chevy Camaro ZL1 sounds and drives like a motherfluffing beast! And how about their pit crew winning the pit stop contest - using a manual car jack!

I’d love for Garage 56 to finish the race. And yes the car looks awesome for sure.

This seems to be going like a sprint race. Hard to believe Ferrari is showing the most discipline and keeping it clean. Glickenhaus still in the race. Hoping they can do well too.

Nice show by Ferrari to take the overall win. Hearts and minds definitely won over by the Camaro.

Was rooting for the Iron Dames in GTE-AM so a bit disappointed to see then slip away into 4th after leading the class for a bit last night. But good win for Corvette. Cadillac was not too shabby either and what about those Glickenhaus cars that seemed to be so consistent in their performance all race. Not the highest they've finished but good race for them too.

Ferrari wins overall:

Corvette wins GTE Am. Down by two laps, Corvette comes back to win by a lap!
