In 10 minutes, one of our people will call up General Motors of Canada and ask them if they'd like to run an ad promoting the existence of this car.
Following an awkward silence.... the words "Who is Ron Fellows?" will be the reply.
The same discussion took place following his wins at the Rolex 24 and Le Mans.
Sigh.
In all seriousness.... Congratulations to Ron! What a fantastic honour.

Ron Fellows Championship Z06 and Indy Pace Car Replica Convertible Editions Make 2007 a Special Year for Chevrolet Corvette
CHICAGO - Corvette enthusiasts in search of a unique ride have much to consider this year with the introduction of two special-edition models: the Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06 and the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Replica Corvette Convertible.
The special-edition Corvettes are distinguished by unique interior and exterior appointments and will be offered in limited, predetermined quantities. In other words, when they're gone, they're gone.
"Chevrolet and Corvette have a long, storied history at Indianapolis, and the new pace car special-edition commemorates that heritage with what will surely be an instant collectible," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager.
"Ron Fellows is also a part of Chevrolet's racing heritage, and he has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the Corvette Racing team in the American Le Mans Series. The special signature-series Z06 model that bears his name will forever link him to one of the greatest eras in factory racing, which has produced six consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers championships, and counting."
Russ Bond has more shots of this car on his Painkillerz.ca site.
