Le Mans: From Chevy's V8 Endurance to Ferrari's 50-Year Win Streak.
TL;DR Summary
Chevy's NASCAR Next Gen chassis with a Camaro body, the Garage 56 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 stock car, crossed the finish line in good shape at the 24-hour mark of the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The small block Chevy-based R07 V8 required only light modification for Le Mans, including a lowered rev range for durability and removing the restrictor plate that NASCAR requires. The Camaro ended up qualifying 37th and finishing 39th, but it wasn't a competitive entry, just an exhibition.
