It's been quite a long time in the Le Mans 24 hour 2005 since a Corvette was in the lead of the GT1 class, but Sunday morning around ten thhirty local time saw a problem with a damaged front splitter for the lead Aston and the lead 'vette take the class lead.

With six hours to go Aston Martin had retained its class lead with the #58 Prodrive car with Tomas Enge at the wheel, three and a half minutes to the good from the #64 Chevrolet Corvette.

All changed as Enge took to the pits for a long stop and the yellow Chevrolet took the class lead, whilst the #59 Aston took on lead Prodrive car duties.
