This week on evo - £8million McLaren, millionth Corvette and more
A look at the most exciting things from the world of evo this week
By the time you read this, the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be well underway – or may have even finished.
It’s hard to bet against another Audi victory, but stranger things have happened – as our look at the black sheep of Le Mans shows. Or you could just watch a McLaren F1 GTR negotiate Mid-Ohio raceway in the US.
This week, we also released a rather special video – you can watch it, and read our other stories below.

Watch – McLaren F1 GTR on track
It’s twenty years since McLaren took its historic Le Mans victory with the GTR. In this video, you can watch – and listen to – a GTR negotiate the Mid-Ohio raceway. Turn up your speakers for this one.
Chevrolet to save millionth Corvette
The millionth Chevrolet Corvette was one of several cars badly damaged when a sinkhole consumed one room at the Corvette Museum in Kentucky. Now, Chevy has begun careful restoration work.
