Whats wrong with Corvette Racing????
GM is asking for and taking handouts from the AMERICAN taxpayers, their major advertising is THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, and they go out and hire foreigners to drive their ALMS cars. I think that picture is very wrong as there are a lot of very talented AMERICAN drivers quite capable of winning in their cars. In another month or two when GM comes back for another handout the Obama crew should say, no thanks, tell your union guys to find other work and oh, by the way, hire some AMERICANS to drive your car as that will help get more AMERICANS employed.

So american drivers should only drive GM, Chrysler or Ford cars? otherwise they would be taking German drives from German drivers or Italian drives from Italian drivers or Japanese drives from Japanese drivers (WHOOPS, Mutoh wins the Indy 500 & Indycar series).
Sportscar racing doesn't care about your nationality (unless your French and it's Le Mans entry time), if it is such an issue for you then may I suggest watching A1GP or any other racing series where the flag you run under matters (I am not going to make the obvious cheap shot).

GM's facing major problems World-Wide...
currently, Corvette Racing is NOT under pressure.
The Corvette team will run the C6R in GT1 thru Le Mans, then they will drop down to ALMS GT2.
Latest word is that the team is funded with sponsorship thru 2009.
Like all teams, Corvette tries to choose the best drivers available... nationality is not a priority.

think before you post, please, who cares what nationality you are when you are with a team.
