Inside the latest Corvette challenger ready to go global
The upcoming Daytona 24 Hours will mark the debut of the new GM sportscar, the Corvette Z06 GT3.R, which follows the successful lineage of Corvette Racing machines. The Corvette C8.R, which premiered in 2020, will be replaced by the GT3 model in various international series, including the World Endurance Championship and IMSA SportsCar Championship. The Z06 GT3.R is the result of a collaboration between Pratt Miller Engineering and GM’s Competition Motorsports Engineering division and underwent extensive testing before hitting the track in September 2022. The car features shared components from the production model to maintain competitive pricing in the customer car market. Unlike its predecessor, the C8.R, the Z06 GT3.R was designed to be user-friendly and easy to work on, catering to both professional factory teams and those with different budget constraints or limited experience.
