A driver's perspective of the 24 Hours of Le Mans at night. The GT1 battle featuring a Corvette duo, the Aston Martin DBR9 and the Saleen SR7, surges out of the Ford chicane into the start and finish straight. A typical scene when the safety car left the track. In the GT1 class in 2007 it was "wheel to wheel" for hours into the night. Just one small mistake and the race was over. In 2007, the Aston Martin "009" achieved its first GT1 victory at the third attempt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans thanks to unbelievable speed and stamina.
