Corvette Racing
Pratt & Miller Creates a World-Class Racing Icon
Conceived, designed, constructed, developed, and campaigned by Pratt & Miller Engineering, the Corvette race cars that carry the banner of Corvette Racing have dominated Grand Touring racing in the U.S. and abroad. The close working relationship between Pratt & Miller, the production Corvette group, Chevrolet Racing, and GM Powertrain produced a performance icon that's recognized around the world.
Pratt & Miller technology, products, and personnel have propelled Corvette Racing to the pinnacle of production-based sports car competition. Corvette Racing is the most successful team in the history of the American Le Mans Series with nine manufacturer and team championships and eight driver championships. Pratt & Miller also has achieved international success in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's most prestigious sports car race, with seven class victories and an overall win in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Pratt & Miller has faced – and defeated – formidable opponents in this quest, going head-to-head with factory-supported teams representing Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Aston Martin, and Lotus. Corvette Racing's record is a testament to Pratt & Miller's experience, expertise, and commitment to excellence.
C6.R Specs
| The Corvette C6.R race car is the most technically advanced sports car ever developed by GM, combining sophisticated chassis, powertrain and aerodynamic technology developed by GM Racing with the advanced engineering of the sixth-generation Corvette, Corvette Z06, and Corvette ZR1 production models. The Corvette C6.R has strong links to its showroom counterpart, as required by the ALMS and Le Mans rules that mandate close adherence to production specifications. For example, the same hydroformed frame rails used in production Corvettes provide a strong foundation for the race cars. The race-prepared LS5.5R engine shares its architecture with the production 505-horsepower LS7 small-block V-8 that powers the Corvette Z06. |
