Last hurrah for Corvette GT1 race car





This Saturday at Long Beach, Corvette Racing will mark the end of an era with the final U.S. appearance by the Corvette C6.Rs in the GT1 category for the American Le Mans Series. The series will give a send-off to the GT1 Corvettes in a special post-qualifying ceremony in the Long Beach winner's circle, showcasing the championship-winning Corvette C6.R race cars and the production GT1 Championship Edition Corvette they inspired.

Later on this season, Corvette Racing, the most successful sports car team in ALMS history will begin its transition to a new global GT class based on current GT2 regulations as the GT1 category passes into racing's record books.

"The best sports car teams in the world have competed in the American Le Mans Series over the last 11 years, but it is impossible to think of one that has generated more success than Corvette Racing - both on and off the track," said ALMS President and CEO Scott Atherton.
