Second Michelin puncture for Corvette.
The #64 Chevrolet Corvette, one of the front-runners in the GT1 class at Le Mans, has suffered a second rear left tyre failure with its Michelin rubber as the Le Mans 24 Hours approached the two and a half hour mark.
With the #58 Aston Martin now in the lead of the class, and an impressive ninth overall, the yellow Corvette second puncture was suffered by Olivier Beretta. Earlier in the race Oliver Gavin had to pit after he suffered the first Michelin puncture on the same corner.

A quick stop and the 'vette was back in action, but how many more stops might the car have to make for enforced fresh rubber?
