Corvette Racing will take on its most formidable challenge to date when it competes in the GT2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Le Mans, France, on June 12-13. The twin Compuware Corvette C6.R race cars are among the 17 entries in the GT2 class invited by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), organizers of the classic endurance race.

After a year that can charitably be called challenging, automakers are viewing 2010 with a sense of optimism. So is the Canadian International AutoShow. In what it is calling its Vision, organizers says 2010 will mark "the most fascinating decade in automotive history. Restructured and retooled, manufacturers have plans not just to survive but flourish. Auto Show 2010 is an integral part of those plans."

Sudbury Food Bank was in the mood for giving thanksWednesday.

The organization held an event to show appreciation for three major spring and summer events that helped carry the food bank through the seasons.

"At the food bank, we've been trying hard to make the month of October a month of thanks to the whole community," said administrator Dan Xilon, from the organization's parking lot of the Notre Dame. "We realize that we'd be very remiss if we did not thank the individuals that got us through the summer."
