Ultimatecarpage.com update (11-21-07)

Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Today there are three major international championships where the top of the range GT cars face off. Thanks to the restrictor regulations, a wide variety of racing cars are pitched against each other. This week we take at two very successful and very different examples.
First up is the Maserati MC12, which is as successful as it is controversial. Failing to meet the rules, it can only race with a weight and wing penalty. It has nevertheless won many races and championships in the FIA GT since 2005, with two consecutive Spa 24 Hour victories as highlights. Our indepth and well illustrated article deals with both the controversy and the successes. For our loyal subscribers we have also added five new wallpapers of the MC12.
Even more successful is the Corvette C6.R, which has won (its class in) every major endurance race including back-to-back wins at Le Mans and Sebring. A key part in the success is the fantastically run Pratt & Miller operation, who build, prepare and enter the Works Corvettes. While the Maserati will always be overshadowed by controversy, it is hard to find a bad word about the Corvette and its team.

Enjoy the links:

Slight spelling mistake in the MC12 story. Line six --> was should be has.

Furthermore it's a nice story, about IMO one of the most beautiful cars on this world.

What's all the fuss about ? It's just a tiny mistake, he might find nice to correct. It happens to us all, cannot be prevented. I have this English spell checker add-on for Firefox installed since recently, so it immediately popped up.. Me noting it should not be a reason to be insulting.

And i don't bother at all, which way you spell it. It's still the same letter...
