Great news

Corvette Racing has announced it will compete at the upcoming TOTAL 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (29 April – 1 May) with its Corvette C8.R.

Fresh from their victory at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Corvette Racing will enter a single C8.R at the WEC season-opener.

Antonio Garcia (Spain) and Oliver Gavin (UK) are set to drive the No. 63 C8.R – the first time they have shared a car in their Corvette Racing careers.

As a reminder, these are the 2 cars entered for the Le Mans 24h in August.

1st race of the WEC season 2018

Only a few days left before the real start of the super season and the first race in Spa.

 

 

Having seen the cars earlier this month at the prologue in Le Castellet, I am really looking forward to see if the Toyotas will have an advantage on the privateers LMP1. I am also looking forward to the newcomer BMWs in LMGTE Pro. The whole LMP 2 field is also exciting as usual.

Anyway this is always exciting as this is the real race conditions before Le Mans 24h in June. And as we all know, nothing is comparable to Le Mans.
