TF Sport and members of the Chevy Corvette Z06 GT3.R program are eager to take all the lessons and all the experience from their past 18 months together and turn it into a victory in the world’s biggest sports car race.
Two Corvettes from TF Sport are part of the LMGT3 grid for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans starting with Sunday’s Test Day and the fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The pair of entries are part of a three-car Corvette contingent among the 24 cars in the class for this year’s event, which kicks off with Sunday’s annual Le Mans Test Day and includes fellow Corvette team AWA.
The TF Sport squad is going for a third class win at Le Mans the Corvette Racing program can make it 10 victories since 2001. The team’s trio of Daniel Juncadella, Jonny Edgar and Ben Keating lead the WEC’s LMGT3 Drivers Championship standings on the strength of a victory at Qatar in their No. 33 Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Across the garage, the No. 81 Corvette lineup of Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Tom Van Rompuy are hoping to join their teammates as race winners for TF Sport in the trio’s second year together at Le Mans.
Each of the six drivers have different previous experiences at Le Mans. Eastwood and Keating are both past-winners of the race with Keating twice a winner, including in 2023 in a Corvette C8.R. Andrade is a past runner-up, Van Rompuy has two previous starts, Juncadella debuted last year and Edgar is a Le Mans rookie.
Two three-hour sessions are on the schedule for Sunday’s Test Day, which is the first time since last year’s final lap that cars will have the chance to run on the full 8.47-mile Le Mans circuit – a mix of permanent racetrack and public roads. The Test Day is valuable with only a three-hour Free Practice on Wednesday ahead of the first round of qualifying later in the day.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET / 4 p.m. CET on Saturday, June 14. MotorTrend will air the full race live in the U.S., with full live streaming of all on-track sessions including qualifying and Hyperpole will be available through the MAX app in the U.S. Radio Le Mans also will provide live streaming audio coverage of all sessions as well.
TF SPORT PRE-EVENT QUOTES DANI JUNCADELLA, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“Le Mans is such an incredible place. The track itself is one that on paper you don’t think is a challenge because there are a lot of long straights and there aren’t that many corners for such a long track. You’d think it is fairly easy but it’s incredible the aura that the place has. There is something you can feel and it’s impressive. I was grateful to experience that for the first time last year.
“It’s a big thing that we have had pretty flawless races so far. The team has really taken a step forward in the right direction. It’s no secret that the driver lineup is incredibly good. Both Ben and Jonny are really, really good. Having Tyler (Neff, race engineer) with us this year brought us some fresh ideas and experience with the Corvette. The Z06 GT3.R is in its second year and we have a season of experience with it in the bag so that helps a lot in terms of reliability and many other things. It’s a great year to be part of this lineup and this team. We’re having very clean races and that also pays off with consistency for scoring results and points.”
JONNY EDGAR, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
I am looking forward to competing in my first 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s a race I have watched for a long time and have always been interested to compete in so it is amazing I have finally got the opportunity to do so. If we can carry on the great work everyone has done this season then I am confident we will have a good result as we have managed to execute all three races very well so far this season. The whole team has done an amazing job.
“I cannot wait to drive the track for the first time, I am sure it will be very enjoyable in the Corvette Z06 GT3.R. It is very exciting to be racing alongside Ben and Dani at this race. Ben has had lots of success here with both Corvette and TF Sport so I am sure he will have lots of helpful advice for me, and Dani raced here last year with the Corvette so he will also be able to help me a lot as well.”
BEN KEATING, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“So far this season, the team has performed FLAWLESSLY! It has been very impressive and it is why we have seen the results. It’s no surprise given my past history with both TF Sport and the Corvette. There’s no reason to think we can’t keep the same incredible team performance for Le Mans.
“My first memory of Le Mans was in 2014 when I went as a spectator not knowing anything about it. I slept on the floor of the hospitality tent. I walked many miles. I felt like a little kid where everything was a new experience. To me what makes Le Mans special is that excitement and energy surrounding the event everything from the public scrutineering to the parade to the race itself. This is a result of the history and mostly because of the fans. Le Mans is not a race. Le Mans is an event.”
CHARLIE EASTWOOD, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“We haven’t had the performance or results on our side, but the thing I’m really hopeful about is that as a crew, as a team and as a Corvette program, we’re executing some excellent races. When you get to Le Mans, it’s what I actually love so much about it – even over other 24-hour events it’s not like Daytona where you have so many cautions, and you can get back into the race and back onto the lead lap. In Le Mans, if you make a mistake in the first hour, then you have to be very fast to make that back up.
With the energy side of things, we’ll probably have 27 or 27 pit stops. Our guys have gotten super-quick at tire changes and the strategy has been very good in the last few events. When you add that up across 26 stops versus just four stops, it can make a big difference in the pitlane.
“On top of that, both Rui and Tom especially Rui as he is doing a geo-program in ELMS and then straight into a WEC race are driving incredibly well, love the car and are able to extract speed out of it. So from our side when you look at the lineup, we’re pretty strong in that regard. No, we didn’t have a great race there last year but as a team and a car, we’ve made massive strides in a lot of areas so hopefully that will play into our favor.”
RUI ANDRADE, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’m very excited to be back at Le Mans as always. For us, it’s definitely the biggest race of the year and the one everyone wants to win. Last year was difficult, but we’ve made steps forward as a team, and I know my teammates and I are ready for the challenge ahead.
“I personally definitely feel stronger this year, which is a good confidence boost going into Le Mans. It’s a very long race and all three drivers need to be at their very best in order for the team to perform well. So hopefully I can keep my personal momentum going so we can fight for the win.”
In 2018, a horrific crash at Pocono nearly ended Robert Wickens’ life and seemingly ended his racing career. He suffered a double spinal cord fracture, multiple broken bones, and a severe pulmonary contusion. By the end of that year, Robert revealed he was a paraplegic.
But Robert Wickens is not like most people. This is the story of a man who refused to be defined by the crash that changed everything.
Through unwavering determination, incredible resilience, and the cutting-edge technology of Bosch Motorsport, Robert set his sights on an unthinkable goal: to race again at the highest level.
This isn’t just a story about recovery, it's about rediscovery. About holding onto your identity, chasing your dreams, and proving that hope can overcome even the most impossible odds
To fully understand 1,064 horsepower, you have to feel it.
When Chevrolet announced the 2025 Corvette ZR1, all eyes were on that horsepower figure. The ZR1’s twin-turbo 5.5-liter engine is the most powerful V-8 ever produced by an American automaker – brawny enough to send the new ZR1 ripping from zero to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, on its way to a track-verified top speed of 233 mph1. The ZR1 makes more than five times the horsepower of a typical family vehicle
It's fun to tootle along on your commute and wonder what the drive would feel like with quintuple the thrust. But I didn’t truly grasp this king Corvette’s monumental power figure until I belted into the passenger seat of a Competition Yellow ZR1 and let Chris Barber, Corvette lead development engineer, show me around the Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas.
Barber and the Corvette crew were at COTA to demonstrate the ZR1’s prowess to journalists and influencers. The choice of venue conveyed a message: This is a serious machine, a true American supercar2, and only a world-class road course like COTA could provide a suitable setting to safely become acquainted with the true capabilities of this Corvette.
All that made logical sense as Barber eased the bright yellow ZR1 out of pit lane and onto the track. Then he nailed the accelerator, and all the logic in my brain suddenly dismantled.
Off and running
The ZR1 accelerates like a wormhole. We zapped to COTA’s first corner, a nasty hairpin left, like we were teleporting. I’ve been lucky enough to ride in some very serious cars, including purpose-built racing machines. No vehicle ever pinned me to my seat back like this ZR1.
Flinging into Turn 1, we were off and running. Our ZR1 featured the ZTK Performance Package, with an imposing rear wing and a collection of carbon-fiber aerodynamic features that work together to generate immense downforce. Add in ultra-high-performance tires and the largest standard-equipment carbon-ceramic brakes ever fitted to a Corvette, and the ZR1 becomes nothing less than a racetrack monster.
At COTA, every fast, flowing segment is book ended by acute, low-speed corners. Most high-performance cars shine in one part of COTA and dawdle in the next. The ZR1 was unrelenting across every inch of this track. For every straightaway dispatched with rocket-like acceleration, there was an eye-popping braking zone. In corners, the Corvette generated g-forces like I’ve never experienced in a street-legal car. With Barber at the wheel, each lap was an uninterrupted thrill ride. I could barely catch my breath.
Simply put, the ZR1 never runs out of steam. Past a certain speed, even the most high-performance sports cars start to run out of breath, the rush of acceleration dwindling to a trickle. Not so with the ZR1. On COTA’s back straightaway, more than half a mile long, I snatched a glance at the speedometer as it flashed past 170 mph. Then Barber hit the brakes, arced the car into another corner, and – in my mind, at least broke about six different laws of physics at once.
Barber, I should note, has lots of practice hauling ZR1s around tricky racetracks. As lead development engineer on this new machine, Barber has logged thousands of miles refining the latest Corvette into a masterpiece. Along the way, he set a new production-car lap record at Road Atlanta, one of five records that now belong to the ZR1. As I strapped on my helmet ahead of our ride, I had no doubt that Barber would show me the ZR1’s full capabilities without breaking a sweat.
Staying cool
I, on the other hand, broke quite the sweat, despite the fact that the ZR1’s cabin was a refreshing 67 degrees throughout our three-lap run. This Corvette can pamper its occupants even on a 100-degree Austin day, providing ice-cold air conditioning and cooled seats even as it rockets around the track. Throwing me in the passenger seat of the ZR1 at COTA was like asking me to take a quick jog alongside an Olympic sprinter. My body isn’t conditioned for this kind of performance.
Soon – sooner than I ever anticipated – my three high-speed laps with Barber were over. As we circled the track for a cool-down lap, my circuit chauffeur beamed at the vehicle he had helped to create. “It’s amazing how effortless it is,” he told me. “You don’t have to wrestle the car to get fast lap times. If you know your way around a racetrack, you can get up to speed in this thing more effortlessly than any other car I’ve driven.”
I concurred, or at least I tried. Whatever I attempted to say came out as giggling jibberish. I entered the ZR1 thinking I knew what fast was. I got out in a state of perspiring disarray. Simply put, the 2025 Corvette ZR1 accelerates, brakes, and corners like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. If you want that kind of capability for yourself, the ZR1 is headed to dealerships now.

Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports will be back on home turf this weekend with its pair of Chevy Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs part of the field for Saturday’s Chevrolet Sports Car Classic.
The No. 3 and No. 4 Corvettes help make up a 22-car grid of GTD PRO and GTP entries for the fifth round of this year’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with both cars looking to build on levels of success from the 2024 event in which they qualified first and second in class.
Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims, second in GTD PRO points, share the No. 3 Corvette and are coming off a third-place podium finish in the previous round at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. A year ago at Detroit, Garcia claimed pole position in GTD PRO, but the No. 3 suffered a mechanical problem on the way to the green flag and finished well down the order.
That left Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg to fight for victory in the No. 4 Z06 GT3.R. Milner set the fastest race lap early on as the Corvette led the first 39 laps of the race. Shortly after Catsburg took over, he was hit and spun out following a mid-race restart that resulted in damage to the Corvette and a ninth-place finish.
This is the second appearance for the Corvette/Pratt Miller squad and the rest of the GTP and GTD PRO cars at the downtown Detroit circuit, which runs around the Renaissance Center and the global headquarters of General Motors, is the shortest on the calendar at nine turns and 1.654 miles around. The program previously scored three victories at the Belle Isle circuit.
The Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic is scheduled for 3:40 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 31. The race will air live on Peacock in the U.S., and IMSA’s YouTube channel internationally. IMSA Radio will air all on-track sessions at IMSA.com along XM 206, SiriusXM Online 996.
CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R DRIVER QUOTES
ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“Obviously, Detroit is an important race for everyone on this team. It is the home race for Corvette, we race around the Renaissance Center and Pratt Miller isn’t far away. So there will be many guests and fans who we want to do a good job for this weekend. This is the only street race for us in GTD PRO, and I like these a lot. It puts a lot of importance on precision and how you do a lap, not just top speed. I would really like another pole position there, and this time a win in our ‘home’ race.”
ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I take a lot of pride driving and racing a Corvette in Detroit for our home event. In terms of the racing, the Detroit track is quite a challenging one. It’s much shorter than any other track will race this year, but it has vastly different sections. There is the long straight in front of the RenCen where you can create opportunities out of the corner leading on to it, but also the tight hairpin at the end. The other sections are tight and twisty where you do have to take some risks.
Some are calculated and others not so much. But that’s part of street racing and what the fans want to see. Last year Antonio did a mega job putting the car on pole, but unfortunately our race was in effect finished before it started with a mechanical problem. I’m confident that this year will be much different, and we can finish at the front this time around.”
TOMMY MILNER, NO. 4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’m excited for Detroit. I thought we had a good Corvette there last year. It’s obviously an important event for Chevrolet, for GM and for Pratt Miller, as well. Last year we had lots of guests from all three groups, so it was a big event for the whole team and for Chevrolet.
This is a polarizing racetrack. I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun. The beauty and the downside of street-track racing is you get exciting racing, but you’re also exposed to risky passes and exposed to situations that can be outside your control in many situations.
So, as always, we have to be diligent with how we race. We are going there with some sense of confidence and excitement for the weekend. That’s not just because we were faster last year, but it’s great to have so many family members of the race team and guests of Chevrolet and GM around in the shadow of the RenCen makes that race even more special.”
NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’m looking forward to going back to Detroit again. I’m personally not a fan of the track. It’s very difficult and challenging, and having to be close to the walls in every corner makes it pretty tough. But it is a very important race for us as a team and as Corvette. It’s one where we want to do very well. Last year we were in a very good spot to have a proper result and maybe even a win.
Tommy had a very strong qualifying and I think he brought the car in the lead. Then I had an incident with one of the Lexus which took us out of the race. Hopefully this year, we can fight for our first win in the 4 Corvette, which is something we’ve been trying to achieve for some time. It would be great to achieve that on home soil.”
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Two IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship teams representing two different General Motors brands heading to the 24 Hours of Le Mans have taken the wraps off special liveries for the blue riband event, June 14-15.
Bob Akin Award Winner Fidani and AWA Reveal Fresh No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R AWA and driver Orey Fidani earned the Bob Akin Award in 2024, as the top-scoring Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) class Bronze-rated driver last season and IMSA’s automatic invitation to Le Mans that went with it. The quartet of Fidani, full-season co-driver Matt Bell, Michelin Endurance Cup driver Lars Kern and fourth driver Marvin Kirchhoefer started off 2025 in grand style with a GTD class win at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. That win produced a series of admittedly good but perhaps unexpected changes.
A new chassis was pressed into service for the Andrew Wojteczko-led operation as the team took the race-winning No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R into its collection and out of active racing. Its planned Le Mans chassis moved into IMSA competition, and its new Le Mans chassis was sourced for running at this year’s race. The livery for that chassis has been revealed on Wednesday morning, a few weeks before Le Mans. In place of AWA’s now-traditional black and yellow livery, the team has delivered a striking patriotic Canadian livery with a red and white flag adorning the chassis.
The AWA team wrote on Instagram: “Painting the town red! We’ll be sporting a new, bold livery for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and we can’t wait to show off our Canadian roots in the biggest endurance race in the world. We hope you love the fiery look as much as we do! Only a few more weeks until our No. 13 Orlando Corporation Corvette is out on track at Circuit de la Sarthe.”
Fidani, Bell and Kern have a unique opportunity to win both 24-hour races in GT in the same year; the trio will compete in the 24-car LMGT3 class as part of the 62-car full field.
Washington — The U.S. Senate passed a measure Thursday canceling California regulations that would have required a 100% transition to electric vehicles for new car and truck models in many states by 2035. The vote on the Congressional Review Act measure passed 51-44 along mostly party lines, with all Republicans present voting in favor. Michigan Democratic U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Holly joined the GOP in supporting the measure.
"Today, I voted to prevent California and the states that follow its standard from effectively banning gas-powered cars by 2035. Michigan is the auto capital of the world, and as Michigan’s U.S. Senator, I have a special responsibility to stand up for the more than one million Michiganders whose livelihoods depend on the U.S. auto industry," she said in a statement.
Other Democrats had criticized the legislation in recent weeks less for its substance and more for Republicans' decision to hold a vote at all, overruling the Senate's nonpartisan arbiter of chamber procedures along the way. The measure, approved with a simple majority via the CRA, next moves to President Donald Trump's desk for approval. The Republican leader is all but certain to sign it into law after repeatedly bashing "EV mandates" on the campaign trail in automotive-heavy Michigan last year.
Much of the debate over the measure Wednesday and Thursday centered around parliamentary procedures and the Senate's longstanding filibuster rules, which effectively set a 60-vote threshold for most actions to pass.
The impact on the auto industry will be immense. California has long set nation-leading standards for vehicle tailpipe emissions that force companies to consider stricter state environmental policies on top of more lax federal regulations. Now, automakers — barring a successful legal challenge to the Senate's action — will be spared from California's latest rules, its strictest yet.
Thirteen states had voluntarily adopted the rules with the goals of fighting climate change, improving air quality and pushing American automakers to build electric cars and trucks that better compete with China's surging EV prowess. Some states, however, had begun to pull back on their pledges amid lower-than-hoped-for EV sales.
The measure's passage is a blow to California's rule-setting authority and a victory for companies seeking more regulatory flexibility.
Industry reaction
The U.S. auto industry lobbied heavily to have the waiver overturned, claiming that the strict rules would represent an existential threat to automakers and dealerships. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the top automotive lobbying group in Washington, immediately celebrated the measure's passage.
"The fact is these EV sales mandates were never achievable," said John Bozzella, president and CEO of the alliance. "Automakers warned federal and state policymakers that reaching these EV sales targets would take a miracle, especially in the coming years when the mandates get exponentially tougher."
He continued: "The Senate (and the House before it) deserve enormous credit. Instead of kicking the can down the road or waiting for regulatory failure and its consequences, they voted to restore a degree of balance to U.S. vehicle emissions regulations.
"The auto industry has invested billions in electrification and has 144 electrified models on the market right now. Again, the concerns were about the mandate not the technology. You can be against the (California) EV mandates ... and believe that transportation is trending toward a range of electrified products like battery electric vehicles, hybrids and plug-in hybrids)."
Two top oil and gas lobbying groups, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers and the American Petroleum Institute, also applauded the Senate's action.
“Today, the United States Senate delivered a victory for American consumers, manufacturers, and U.S. energy security by voting to overturn the prior administration’s EPA rule authorizing California’s gas car ban and preventing its spread across our country,” said the group’s presidents, Chet Thompson and Mike Sommers, in a joint statement.
They continued: “Congress has made clear that California regulators have no authority to dictate what cars Americans can buy or to ban internal combustion engine vehicles. President Trump can now deliver on a major part of his campaign promise to end EV mandates in the United States.”
Environmentalists, meanwhile, denounced the move on its merits and on procedure.
“Senate Republicans just voted to break the law and increase asthma, lung cancer and cardiac deaths,” said Dan Becker, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Safe Climate Transport Campaign. “Robbing California of its clean air protections is a fundamental betrayal of democracy. This vote is a flagrant abuse of the law to reward Big Oil and Big Auto corporations at the expense of everyday people’s health and their wallets.”
Even though Michigan is not among the states that had pledged to follow California's standards, the fate of the regulations was a question with billions of dollars at stake for the Detroit Three automakers over the next decade.
Detroit-based General Motors Co. cheered the prospect of a vote earlier in the week: “GM believes in customer choice, and we continue to focus on offering the best and broadest portfolio of vehicles on the market," spokesperson Bill Grotz said in a Tuesday statement. "GM has long supported one national standard and consistency in emissions regulations that are aligned with market realities; the CRA measure would help ensure this.”
Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co. also praised the move. “In America, the customer chooses, and we need national emissions standards that not only drive progress but also reflect market realities," said Ford spokesperson Robyn Jackson in a Tuesday statement.
"We also need to preserve tax policies that recognize the future of the global automotive industry is up for grabs, and that domestic manufacturing and home-grown innovation are how the United States will win," she added, a reference to automotive tax credits House Republicans have proposed cutting.
America's largest automaker once backed California's aggressive EV push. That support appears to be over. GM has begun urging employees to lobby lawmakers against a ban on the sale of new gas cars in the state within a decade, something it once supported. 'We need your help!' GM wrote in an email to thousands of salaried workers, according to The Wall Street Journal. 'Emissions standards that are not aligned with market realities pose a serious threat to our business by undermining consumer choice and vehicle affordability.' The email comes as California’s tough climate regulations face growing resistance. For years, the state has had a federal waiver allowing it to impose stricter tailpipe rules than the national standard. That authority led to a bold mandate: by 2035, all new cars sold in the state must be zero-emission vehicles — either battery electric or hydrogen-powered.
Eighteen other states have adopted similar rules that will ban the sale of new gas cars. But with EV sales falling short of projections, the waiver is now under bipartisan scrutiny in Washington. GM’s lobbying is the latest signal of shifting political winds.
The company — second only to Tesla in US EV sales — has walked back its earlier commitments to an all-electric future. GM once promised to build 400,000 electric vehicles by 2024. It ended up selling just 114,432 that year. Still, that number represented a significant gain: a 50 percent increase in EV sales compared to 2023.
But the growth hasn’t matched regulators’ lofty projections. EVs account for about seven percent of new vehicle sales in the US. Nationwide, EV deliveries fell five percent last month, even as overall new vehicle sales rose by double digits. In California, where EV adoption has consistently outpaced the rest of the country, electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles still account for only about 20 percent of total sales, well short of the 35 percent benchmark required by 2026 under the state’s current rule.
'GM believes in customer choice, and we continue to focus on offering the best and broadest portfolio of vehicles on the market,' a company spokesperson told DailyMail.com. 'GM has long supported one national standard and consistency in emissions' regulations that are aligned with market realities.' Despite its lobbying push, GM previously told DailyMail.com that it remains committed to electrification. The automaker has spent billions outfitting its US factories with the latest battery technology.
Recently, GM announced plans to develop lithium manganese-rich (LMR) battery chemistry that’s lighter, cheaper, and less reliant on Chinese-sourced critical minerals. Meanwhile, California's regulators have argued that their rules, which include credits and rollover sales averages, have been plenty accommodating to auto manufacturers. But the carmakers are dealing with several crushing blows from the Trump administration that could cut against their electric efforts. President Donald Trump has slapped all foreign assembled cars and parts with a 25 percent tariff, which has already started to increase some consumer prices.
Companies have said the tariff will cost billions. GM said it will lose between $4 billion and $5 billion in profits because of the tax policy. Also, automakers are staring down the end of EV tax incentives for consumers as Republicans attempt to strike a tax deal. The incentives' end could further cut against battery electric adoption and recent billion-dollar investments from major brands.
Michael, a collector car enthusiast, this nightmare became a reality when a routine brush fire spiraled out of control, engulfing his garage and claiming two of his prized vehicles: a 2023 Corvette and a 1965 Mustang
Michael recounted the day with a mix of disbelief and sorrow. “I was burning some brush and did everything I knew to do doused it with water, ensured it was out.
I’ve had hundreds of fires over the years without incident,” he shared. “But this time, I looked out the window, and it seemed like the whole world was on fire.”
The fire spread rapidly, consuming his garage and the vehicles within. “It was a total loss,” Michael lamented.
“Both the Corvette and the Mustang were gone. ” What had been a normal day quickly turned into one filled with grief, confusion, and questions about what would come next.
Good news and bad news for the owner of the 2018 Corvette Grand Sport recently stolen from a Missouri neighborhood that was taken after a second theft attempt proved successful last month.
Missouri State Highway Patrol officers were able to track the Corvette, not through OnStar as you might suspect, but instead through an aftermarket tracking device that showed the car’s movement from its owner’s home in Waldo to a business in Independence.
“Now that we’ve located this vehicle, we can kind of retrace the vehicle’s steps, so to speak,” says Cpl. Justin Ewing of the Highway Patrol. The car with a black garbage bag covering the top of the passenger side door was located inside a garage at Precision Touch Auto Sales off Highway 40, authorities said. Troopers are still working with Kansas City Police to find the thieves and figure out how the car wound up at the business.
Police say in April, a neighbor scared away thieves as they tried to take the Blade Silver Grand Sport in Kansas City’s Waldo area.
The bad guys weren’t content to just leave empty-handed, though, and started firing bullets through the air, some of which hit nearby cars and houses. The next week, the thieves apparently returned to the same neighborhood and were able to successfully steal the Corvette this time.
A woman who lives in a house that was struck multiple times by bullets during the first incident says fortunately no one was injured either time, but naturally she’s still upset. “I bought this house eight and a half years ago, and we’ve never had anything like this,” Marlene Standley told KMBC News in Kansas City. “The boldness that they’re doing now, they came back to the exact same place.”
In that second successful attempt, neighbor Megan Hogan says the thieves pointed guns at the home of the Corvette’s owner after the car alarm went off before they were able to race away in the GS. “Something has to change,” said Hogan, who gave 911 a play-by-play of the theft as it was happening. She said it took about 15 minutes for police to arrive.
After authorities located the stolen Corvette, Cpl. Ewing told a reporter that “it’s our goal in public safety to make sure we protect lives and property.” The investigation also led to a large drug seizure, police said, so they believe drug trafficking may be involved.
Matt Bell led the way in opening GT World Challenge powered by AWS practice at Sebring International Raceway, putting the No. 11 DXDT Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R atop the time charts.
Bell’s 1:59.757 in the Pro-Am class Corvette was 0.377 seconds quicker than fellow class competitor Aaron Telitz in the No. 88 Archangel Motorsports McLaren 720S GT3 Evo. While Bell was the only driver to dip into the 1:59s, a 2:00.228 lap time by Mikael Grenier in the No. 34 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo was quickest of the Pro class contenders in third overall.
Aaron Povoledo made it two Corvettes in the top-four in his No. 50 Chouest Povoledo Racing entry, while Philip Ellis completed the top-five in the No. 91 Regulator Racing Mercedes-AMG.
The No. 92 LAB Motorsport by GT Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R of Kyle Marcelli was sixth overall, ahead of Robby Foley’s No. 29 Turner Motorsport BMW M4 GT3, which is carrying 26 kg of ballast this weekend due to co-driver Justin Rothberg’s driver rating derogation.
The overall top-ten was completed by the No. 32 GMG Racing Porsche, No. 99 Random Vandals Racing BMW and No. 18 RS1 Porsche.
The lone Am class entry this weekend, the No. 6 Dollahite Racing Ford Mustang GT3 featuring recent FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 podium finisher Stefano Gattuso, was 15th overall.
The second practice of the day is scheduled for a 2:30 p.m. EST start time.
The idiot of a high-winged black C8 Corvette is F'd with the law in Ohio after being clocked driving 36 mph over the limit Monday.
The incident happened on I-70 in Preble County, Ohio.
A photo on social media shows the trooper talking to the driver through the passenger window, with the radar in the foreground showing the Corvette’s speed recorded at 106 mph in a stretch where the limit was only 70.
“Remember to #SlowDown and always travel the speed limit,” OSHP posted.

Featuring Troop D, who were informed of a pursuit involving the West Memphis Police Department. Troopers D. Cheers (D-25), J. Byrd (D-26) G. Fultz (D-20) and Sgt S. Roberts (D-4) who all attempt to stop the corvette by boxing them in and eventually a TVI Report: On December 7, 2024, I, TFC. Garrett Byrd, along with other troopers, was patrolling on Interstate 40 eastbound between the 280 and 284-mile markers.
At approximately 9:49 PM, Sgt. Steven Roberts advised that West Memphis Police Department pursued a white C7 Chevrolet Corvette, and they still had sight of the vehicle heading towards our location. TFC. Donnie Cheers observed the Corvette traveling at a high rate of speed when it approached and passed him around the 280 or 281-mile marker. I was on the shoulder at about the 282-mile marker when I witnessed the Corvette pass by me and a civilian vehicle at speeds well over 100-miles per hour.
I activated my emergency equipment and began to attempt to catch up to the Corvette as Trp. Gunner Fultz, who was ahead of me and the Corvette, attempted to slow the Corvette, allowing me to close the distance between the suspect and me. The Corvette continued to drive recklessly and was able to get around Trp. Fultz and gain speed once again. As I continued to pursue the Corvette, it caught up to Sgt. Roberts and a tractor-trailer.
Sgt. Roberts was successfully able to slow the Corvette enough to allow me to perform a Tactical Vehicle Intervention on the vehicle, causing the suspect to lose control. The Corvette struck the landing gear area on the left side of the trailer on the tractor-trailer before spinning and striking the concrete divider. The Corvette came to rest on the outside shoulder with the driver’s door against the front of my vehicle.
At first, the driver was showing his hands, and the driver side window was busted out of the Corvette to allow the driver to exit the vehicle while keeping his hands visible. He was advised to get out of the car but did not attempt to. He also appeared to reach down between the door and the seat.
Officers then attempted to assist him out of the window, but he did not appear to be putting in any effort himself and at one point told officers to “hold up”. Trp. Fultz deployed the K-9 on the driver, and he was continuously given commands to get out of the vehicle, but he continued not to put in any effort to do so. As Trp. Fultz and the K-9 attempted to get the driver out of the vehicle, the driver was observed reaching towards his right side.
The driver also pressed the accelerator, as if he was trying to drive off while officers were around the vehicle. Officers were eventually able to remove the driver from the vehicle and get him onto the ground. After a brief struggle, officers were finally able to take the driver into custody. Once the driver was in custody, I called for an ambulance for him.
The driver was identified as Christopher Najera, 02/18/1992, of Memphis, TN. A return, on the Corvette’s VIN, showed the vehicle to be stolen. Ammunition was found, although a firearm was never located. Officer Justin Clark with West Memphis Police Department discovered a white powdery substance in a folded one-dollar bill located in Naverja’s wallet, and a field test indicated that the substance was cocaine.
EMS evaluated Naverja before he was placed in the back of my vehicle. Once he was in my vehicle, I advised him of his Miranda Rights. A-1 Towing arrived to tow the Corvette and I left the scene to transport Naverja to Baptist-Crittenden Hospital in West Memphis.
At the hospital, Naverja appeared very groggy, and would doze off while staff and troopers were speaking to him. He did admit that he uses cocaine, when asked by TFC. Cheers. Naverja was treated and discharged. I transported him to the Crittenden County Jail. At the jail, another folded one-dollar bill containing a white powdery substance was located in Naverja’s wallet.
Naverja’s license showed to be revoked in Tennessee for DUI. Naverja was booked on the following charges: Felony Fleeing, Theft By Receiving, Possession of Cocaine, Reckless Driving, Driving on a DUI Revoked License, DWI Drugs,
Refusal to Submit to Arrest, and Speeding. Drug evidence is being sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for testing. The tractor-trailer, struck by the suspect vehicle (Vehicle 1), is listed as Vehicle 2 in the incident report. Vehicle 2’s trailer is listed in the remarks. Vehicle 2 Owner Information: Joe Atenco Tam trucking 2034 Port Louisiana, Laredo, TX 78045 Vehicle 2 Damage and Estimate: Left side of trailer, landing gear area. $100.00
A new proposal from Environmental Protection agency director Lee Zeldin went viral after he promised to get rid of one frustrating feature in new vehicles.
‘Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light, so companies get a climate participation trophy,’ Zeldin on social media. ‘EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.’ Zeldin’s post on X went viral with eight million views, 11,000 reposts, and 92,000 likes in 24 hours. The auto start/stop technology was integrated in most vehicles by 2020 as a way for automakers to reach Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.
The feature ensured the vehicle turns off the engine every time it comes to a complete stop and automatically restarts when the accelerator pedal is pressed. By making it a standard feature that automatically turned on, the EPA allowed automakers to claim fuel economy benefits that did not appear in the overall air quality standards.
But drivers who hate the feature, have voiced frustration that they are required to turn it off every time they start their vehicle. Zeldin’s announcement drew immediate support from drivers across the political spectrum. Not only does your car die at every red light, so does your air conditioning,’ author and journalist Michael Barone. ‘Makes it uncomfortable waiting 3 minutes for the green arrows in places like Florida.’
‘If Trump gets this done, he belongs on Mount Rushmore,’ influencer Matt Van Swol. ‘Yes!! I can verify, as a car salesman, nearly everybody hates it. From personal testing, for most it doesn’t save much anyway. 900 miles in a month, 0.02 gal saved,’ car salesmen Litizen Jeff ‘Also, it’s unsafe (e.g. stalling out briefly in the center lane as you’re about to make a left turn.)’ ‘Please do. It breaks cars. Our Honda would stall and not start, leaving us in vulnerable situations. Also, it makes cars hesitate when you are pulling out across traffic. It’s dangerous,’ Matt Nachtrab.
‘Bless you, Lee Zeldin. Auto stop-start in a Southern summer is basically attempted manslaughter by climate control. Let the engine run and the AC blow; our lives depend on it!’ Darren Montgomery on X. ‘THANK YOU! We had to replace our battery *much* earlier because of this feature! Increased demand for car batteries aren’t any better for the environment,’ Freda Drake.
'Thank God... this start/stop crap came out of nowhere and is just ridiculous. The stuff that has been thrust upon us. No one asked for it, no one wants it,' the Dread Pirate Roberts. 'Thank you, Lee Zeldin!' It's unclear exactly how Zeldin plans to address the issue, but widespread support for the idea indicated it will be a priority.
In addition to the new interior redesign, the 2026 Corvette model year will also bring new colors to both the interior and exterior of the cars. Already announced at the NCM Bash, the exterior adds Roswell Green Metallic while Blade Silver returns to the color line-up. We also are getting four new interior color schemes that are available across the Corvette line-up.
They are :
Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents: Monochrome cool grays with unexpected pops of bright Habanero Santorini Blue: Vivid shade of blue that is both vibrant and electric Very Dark Atmosphere: Rich chocolate brown paired with Jet Black and Natural Tan accents Ultimate Suede: Jet Black suede interior customizable through Adrenaline Red, Santorini Blue, and Competition Yellow accent stitch colors and matching seatbelts
“This is Chevrolet’s first asymmetrical interior,” said Lindsey Grant, color, material, and finish design manager, Global Chevrolet. “The Jet Black and Adrenaline Red complement each other well as they run through the dash, center console and seats, drawing a dramatic separation between the driver and passenger areas.”
“There’s an intentional balance of physical and virtual controls,” said Dusty Smith, performance driving product manager. “For example, the head-up display controls are now virtualized, which opens space for Performance Traction Management controls to be intuitive physical buttons. The technology in the new Corvette is as strong and capable as the engine behind you.”
One huge change for the seats is that customers can now mix and match the seating styles with a new Asymmetrical Adrenaline Red interior. Buyers can spec a racing-inspired Adrenaline Red Competition Driver’s Seat and a Jet Black GT2 passenger seat. For those who love the interior, suede microfiber can now get it on nearly every interior surface with you select the Ultimate Suede interior package.
Chevrolet is expected to start production of the new 2026 Corvettes on Monday, August 4th. The first order cycle of the 2026 model year is expected to begin on June 26th.
These changes really seem to show that GM has put a lot of thought into the interior updates, but there is still more to see as they didn’t share all the new interior colors.
On the center console, the biggest change is that the Driver Mode selector has been redesigned and placed in line with the Corvette gear selector. In its former place is now a cell phone charging pad. The Volume button for the infotainment center is larger and features a lit base for better visibility.
As we have also seen from the spy photos, the Great Wall of Buttons is officially gone with those controls now moved under the center screen and we do have a passenger grab handle in its place. A new USB-C port has also been added below the grab handle. The two cupholders have been redesigned, and they include the rumored ambient lighting while the Corvette crossed flag's logo are displayed on the bottoms. The cupholder door is now gone, and in 2LT/2LZ and 3LT/3LZ trims, the cupholders are highlighted with real aluminum.
Has there ever been a brit comparing Corvette to Euro cars, to grade the Corvette as the winner ? So to be claiming fair he takes a$180,000 Euro car and compares it to a $107,000 E-Ray
Wonder if he considers which is cheaper, including maintenance and repairs ?
The two-race western swing for Corvette Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship wraps up this weekend with the season’s first full-field sprint race for the three Chevy Corvette Z06 GT3.R teams.
The 36-car Monterey SportsCar Championship at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca will feature four of the GT3-spec Corvettes in the series’ two GT classes. After AWA and DXDT Racing contested a 100-minute contest in Long Beach for GTP and GTD, the GTD PRO field including two Corvettes from Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports rejoins the grid as the Corvette Racing program looks to extend its lengthy history of success at the 2.238-mile, 11-turn circuit on the doorstep of the Pacific Ocean:
Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports – GTD PRO: Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims (No. 3 Corvette); Nicky Catsburg, Tommy Milner (No. 4 Corvette) AWA – GTD: Matt Bell, Orey Fidani (No. 13 Corvette) DXDT Racing – GTD: Alec Udell, Robert Wickens (No. 36 Corvette)
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca is one of three tracks – Sebring and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta later this year are the others to play host to Corvette Racing entries every season since the program’s debut in 1999. The track record in Monterey is impressive: eight class victories for Corvette Racing since 2004 and 12 total manufacturer wins for Chevrolet.
PRE-EVENT NOTES
Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports: The GTD PRO squad is making its 27th straight appearance at Laguna Seca in search of a ninth race win. Of note, Antonio Garcia and Tommy Milner each have three victories apiece in Monterey with Alexander Sims recording one. Garcia and Nicky Catsburg each have a pole position.
The PRO-class Corvettes qualified first and second in class a year ago, led by Catsburg’s pole run. He and Milner went on to finish third for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R’s first podium result. Garcia and Sims started the season strong with a runner-up GTD PRO finish in the Rolex 24 At Daytona. The pairing finished fifth a year ago at Laguna Seca after an unfortunate early-race yellow that cost the No. 3 Corvette track position.
AWA Racing: Matt Bell and Orey Fidani have the one Corvette victory of the IMSA season at the Rolex 24 in the No. 13 Corvette. This also is the team’s final race ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a berth the squad earned via Fidani’s Bob Akin Award going to the top points-scoring Bronze driver in GTD – at the end of last season.
That road to Le Mans began a year ago at Laguna Seca with the first event Akin Award for Fidani, Bell and AWA. The No. 13 Corvette finished 11th in class and ran in the top-10 much of the race’s second half in AWA’s first race as a team at the circuit.
DXDT Racing: The Monterey SportsCar Championship marks the second race for Robert Wickens in DXDT Racing’s No. 36 Corvette equipped with electronic hand-brake controls. After a successful debut at Long Beach, Wickens will team at Laguna Seca with Alec Udell, part of DXDT’s endurance lineup for 2025 and the GTD pole-winner for the 2023 race and went on to finish third in class.
Although Udell has one WeatherTech start to his credit at Monterey and Wickens will make his first Sunday, they both have experience and success in the Michelin Pilot Challenge series Udell was third in 2021 and Wickens was third in TCR during 2023 and 2024.
The Monterey SportsCar Championship is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. ET / 12:10 p.m. PT on Sunday. The race will air live on NBC with full streaming coverage also on Peacock. IMSA Radio will air Saturday’s final practice and qualifying plus Sunday’s race at IMSA.com along with XM 206 and SiriusXM Online 996.
SELECT CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R DRIVER QUOTES
ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’ve been coming to Laguna Seca for many years, and it’s always a highlight for me. It definitely helps when you go there with a fast car, and I think we did last year for the first race there with the new Corvette. There are quite a few things we took away with the new track surface which should help us on the setup from the start. With passing being tough, we need to be fast right away from practice to give us the best chance to be up front in qualifying and the race.”
ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“It will be good to go back to Laguna Seca and see if we can right ourselves after some tough luck at Sebring. The Corvette has been strong so far this year, so I’m confident we can turn around things in the championship with a good showing this weekend. Last year the race went away from us pretty early, but I think we showed good pace, which is encouraging given that this is a tough track to get right, especially with a new car. Hopefully we can put what we learned last year to good use.”
TOMMY MILNER, NO. 4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“Last year’s race at Laguna Seca was a little bit of a turning point in the first year of the Corvette GT3 car. We were able to put together a good weekend, get our first podium and put ourselves on a course where we could really compete for race wins in this class. Now is the perfect time to get on that roll again, heading toward the busiest part of our schedule so we can pick up some points and gain ground in the championship.”
NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“It had been a long time since I raced at Laguna Seca prior to last year. But I was happy to be back and to have a fast Corvette as well, with pole position and a podium finish with Tommy. We need more of that this year to get back into the GTD PRO championship after the first two races. It’s encouraging that we have had a good pace, so hopefully things turn our way this weekend.”
MATT BELL, NO. 13 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’m excited to get back in the AWA Corvette Z06 GT3.R at Laguna Seca. It’s a historic track and the team has done a great job with giving Orey and I a consistently fast car to race with this season, it’s been really enjoyable on that front all year. The last couple of results haven’t gone our way due to mistakes from others in the field, but we’ll be aiming for a clean run and to get back on the podium this weekend.”
OREY FIDANI, NO. 13 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’m looking forward to returning to Laguna Seca. The whole team at AWA has been working so hard, and we’re determined to bounce back strong here. This is a track I really enjoy, it’s got so much character, and it always makes for a good race. We’ve got a great car in the Corvette, and I’m feeling more and more confident and comfortable with it after each session. We’re ready to fight for a result that reflects the effort everyone’s putting in.”
ALEC UDELL, NO. 36 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“Laguna Seca is an awesome place, no other spot that’s better to get in. The Corvette Z06 GT3.R was strong there last year, so I’m looking forward to seeing what it brings. Our primary goal is to come home with a win this season. Everyone on the team has been working super hard, and we’re scratching at that. The step-up has been a challenge, which we knew it would be, and we’re all ready for it. The potential is there. In IMSA competition is so stiff you’ve got to nail everything perfectly. That’s exactly what we’re working toward.”
ROBERT WICKENS, NO. 36 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“Laguna Seca can’t come soon enough. After a lot of positives from Long Beach, it’s time to put it all to good use. I learned so much in my first race weekend with the Corvette Z06 GT3.R and DXDT Racing. I am really looking forward to getting back in the car and getting to work with Alec as my teammate.”
TF Sport will roll into Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps this week intent on maintaining its championship lead, winning its second race of the FIA World Endurance Championship season and readying itself for the biggest race of the year in a month’s time.
Two of TF Sport’s Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs are set for Saturday’s Six Hours of Spa and third round of the WEC year. Both Corvettes are coming off points-paying finishes – one of three manufacturers to do so in the LMGT3 class – the last time out at Imola.
Daniel Juncadella, Jonny Edgar and Ben Keating in the No. 33 Corvette will carry an 11-point lead (and the mandatory success handicap weight) into Spa-Francorchamps. After winning the season-opening race in Qatar, the trio finished a solid seventh in LMGT3 at Imola after starting 16th.
The No. 33 Corvette finished one spot behind its sister entry, the No. 81 Z06 GT3.R of Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Tom Van Rompuy. Their Imola race was a solid rebound from a DNF at Qatar, and the lineup is back at Spa for the second year in a row with hopes of continuing its climb back into the championship picture.
This is the fifth straight year for the Corvette program at the Six Hours of Spa with a best result of runner-up in the 2023 GTE Am class, an entry that Keating was part of.
As is the case every year, Spa is a key race for WEC teams as it is the final dress-rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Corvette Racing as a program has nine class victories at the French classic, and TF Sport is anxious to use Spa as one last competitive test before this year’s 24 Hours.
The Six Hours of Monza is scheduled for 8 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. CET on Saturday. Full live streaming coverage of Free Practice 3, qualifying and the race will be available on the FIA WEC app and the MAX app in the U.S. Radio Le Mans also will stream audio coverage of Friday’s final practice and qualifying, plus Saturday’s race.
DANI JUNCADELLA, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“We come to Spa still leading the championship, which is a big positive considering the challenges we faced at Imola. But again TF Sport did a great job with our Corvette… no mistakes and no errors. We will need more of that at Spa, which is a great circuit and one of my favorites. I enjoyed getting to race it last year as part of the WEC for the first time. The goal this year is to maximize our opportunities and our points plus get through the weekend without any issues so we can be best prepared for Le Mans.”
JONNY EDGAR, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“I’m looking forward to Spa in the Corvette. It’s a track that I really like. So far we have been doing a good job of not making mistakes, great strategy and executing our plan for the event. If we can do the same thing at Spa, we should have another good weekend where we can maximize our potential and our points, which is all we can ask.”
BEN KEATING, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“It is always a pleasure to drive at Spa. The last time I was there was in a Corvette. We had a great weekend and a great fight for second with TF Sport. That was my third consecutive runner-up finish, so I would really like to win this race! It will be very challenging for us, just as it was at Imola. But we were able to overcome things there with no mistakes, no penalties and maximizing our time on track. We did it then, and we will try to do it again at Spa.”
CHARLIE EASTWOOD, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“We have good momentum going into Spa. It’s one of my favorite tracks in the world and a race where I’ve had a lot of success, so I definitely want to keep that going. I think we’re progressing well at just the right time. Spa is an important race for the championship and to point us in the right direction for Le Mans. So it’s a big weekend for those two reasons, and I’m excited to follow up on our positive run at Imola with Rui and Tom.”
RUI ANDRADE, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“It was nice to bounce back and come away with a positive result at Imola. We need to keep working at it in order to maximize our points here at Spa and of course at Le Mans. I feel like our team continues to get better and stronger together. That’s a good sign heading into two critical races.”
TOM VAN ROMPUY, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R:
“The next race is my home race in Spa! Hopefully we can replicate this performance and get on the podium. That would be nice for my home fans and my family. I have high hopes. The car is working really well and everything in the team is fine. If we are in a good position with the Corvette again, I’m sure we can get a good result.”
