The class structure of global sports car racing is constantly evolving and has been stabilized by the emergence and refinement of the FIA-homologated GT3 platform. This platform has created opportunities for convergence between various series, including the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship. Chevrolet and Ford have joined the GT3 racing scene with factory-supported versions of the Corvette and Mustang. The Corvette Z06 GT3.R and the Mustang GT3 will make their worldwide competition debut at the 62nd Rolex 24. They will be competing against nine other FIA-homologated GT3 cars in the GTD and GTD PRO classes. These cars are designed to be “user friendly” with driver aids and specific weight and power regulations. The Corvette GT3.R and the Mustang GT3 require minimal modification from their production versions.
