When you need a half hour break from the family over the next few days, you could do worse than putting on the headphones and watching this short documentary about Corvette’s efforts at the 1960 24 Hours of LeMans. Corvette has become a prominent (sometimes dominant) team at the 24 in recent years, but that wasn’t necessarily the case in 1960 when the ‘Vette was still wrestling with the sentiment that the car was underpowered at its debut 7 years earlier.

What a great film! Not only due to the Corvettes, which not only placed well , but technically, won their class of GT 5.o… but also, the film itself. The film gives a taste of the times and the atmosphere. Just look at all the cars, the backgrounds and especially the people. ‘Those were the days’ indeed.
