I can't imagine that to be honest... here is my confusion about le mans...
Given today's very-reliable prototype cars, there is nearly no chance a GT car (either Pro or Amateur) is ever going to outright win LeMans. It just can't happen. The speed differentials between the classes is almost laughable.
Like it or not, LeMans is 4 races not 1. There are 4 classes, with cars in each vying for the podium in their class. That's right. Each class gets a podium with a celebration of the first 3 places. And in this case Corvette took top honors in GT Pro. A privateer in a Corvette took top honors in GT Am, as well, which was a nice touch.
So, yes, Audi won their class, which happens to also be the fastest class in the race. Corvette won their class which isn't the fastest in the race.
