CORVETTE RACING AT LE MANS: Entries Confirmed

The most demanding auto race in the world again will have a distinctive American flavor with the returns of Corvette Racing to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

CORVETTE RACING AT DAYTONA: Promising Showing in C7.R Debut

In its return to the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Corvette Racing experienced the highs and lows of the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic. In their competitive debut, both of the team's Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs led the opening round of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. The new racing Corvette showed promise with impressive speed and economy ahead of its full-season campaign in North America's new sports car racing championship.

The No. 4 Corvette C7.R of Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and Robin Liddell led the Corvette Racing effort placed a disappointing fifth in the GT Le Mans class following a problem with the car's gearbox with less than three hours to go. Milner, running second at the time, was chasing the eventual race-winning car when the Corvette's gearbox temperature rose dramatically. Milner went directly to the garage where the team diagnosed the problem as a transmission bearing failure. The Corvette Racing crew switched out the gearbox in 30 minutes and sent Milner back to the race.

Corvette Racing Returns to Daytona | Chevrolet

Chevrolet Corvettes took the green flag on Saturday, January 25 for the 52nd Rolex 24 at Daytona in the newly formed TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.

CORVETTE RACING AT DAYTONA: Mixed Bag in First Qualifying for Corvette C7.R

Corvette Racing's first qualifying session with the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R proved to be a bit of a mixed bag at Daytona International Speedway. Oliver Gavin qualified the No. 4 Corvette C7.R fourth in the GT Le Mans class for the 52nd Rolex 24 At Daytona - the opening round of the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.

The Briton turned a best lap of 1:44.729 (122.373 mph) in the Corvette C7.R he will share with Tommy Milner and Robin Liddell for the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic. Gavin was only 0.223 seconds off Marc Goossen's pole-winning pace with the top five cars within 0.240 seconds.

"It's very good," Gavin said. "We're there and only a couple tenths of pole. I'm pretty happy with that. We're obviously right at the beginning of the development curve of this car so that's pretty awesome. We know we have a lot more to come."

Fortunes were not as good in the No. 3 camp. With Jan Magnussen set to qualify the car, his Corvette developed an electrical and throttle issue that sidelined the Dane's qualifying run. It was doubly disappointing after Antonio Garcia, Magnussen's teammate along with Ryan Briscoe, set the class's fastest time in the morning practice.

CORVETTE RACING AT DAYTONA: Back to Where It All Started

Fifteen years ago, Corvette Racing stepped onto the world's sports car stage for the first time. Thirteen years ago, it scored a stunning overall victory in the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Now with 90 victories around the world - seven at the 24 Hours of Le Mans - and 10 American Le Mans Series titles, America's premier production-based sports car team is back at Daytona with a brand new car to contend for a brand new championship.

The 52nd running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona will see the competitive debut of the new Chevrolet Corvette C7.R in the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. After several months in black-and-white camouflage, Daytona is the first time the two Corvettes will run in the familiar Corvette Racing velocity yellow. Both cars tested at Daytona as part of the Roar Before the 24 earlier in the month. Oliver Gavin in the No. 4 car was the second-fastest driver in the GT Le Mans class, followed closely by Jan Magnussen in the No. 3 Corvette.
