Wilson's C5 Corvette Le Mans 2000 Page

Le Mans, France - June, 2000. 1720 miles from Felixstowe, England to Le Mans, France and back. 41 hours in the C5 (not including sleeping in the car during the race - GM did have cots in their hospitality tent, but it was quieter in the car). 9 days round trip, 23 average MPG. $410 on gas (that's 15 pounds and 2700 francs - Gas is $4.90/gallon in England and $4.30 in France). 45 average MPH, 0 speeding tickets, $90 in tolls. No C5 problems (for me).

C5's just barely fit down Paris side streets

We went down the main drag, around the Arc de Triomphe
