The Petit Le Mans 2009 may have been a 10 hour race, but the race was called with less than 4 hours of actual competition. The LG Motorsports Corvette was delayed to grid and started in the back of the pack. The Robertson Ford GT was quickly over-taken by the Corvettes and slowly dropped back. Mother Nature must have engaged in a little pillow talk last night with Risi Competizione. Mika Salo in the Risi Competizione Ferrari took the GT2 win as a result of a precautionary pit stop to rain tires, just a few laps before the heavy rain fell. The rest of the GT2 field was caught in an emergency pit stop as the flood began and Ferrari took the lead just moments before the race was stopped. BMW Rahal Letterman Racing’s Jorg Muller took second with Team Corvette in third.
