Corvette Racing Notes
• The Corvette C7.R race car was co-developed with the all-new 2015 Corvette Z06. They
represent the closest link in modern times between Corvettes built for racing and the road,
sharing unprecedented levels of engineering and components including chassis architecture,
engine technologies and aerodynamic strategies.
• The C7.R’s aluminum frame is the same as found on the 2015 Corvette Z06. In addition, both
feature a direct-injected engine and the most aggressive aero packages found on a racing and
production Corvette.
• Corvette Racing is powered by E85 ethanol racing fuel – a high-octane, renewable alternative
fuel – in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. The cellulosic blend demonstrates the
benefits of a fuel that helps to reduce dependence on petroleum, helps to reduce emissions of
greenhouse gases, and helps to create greater diversity in energy supplies.
• 2015 marks Corvette’s 59th year in international road racing. John Fitch and Walt Hansgen
drove a Corvette to a Class B victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1956, the first step onto the
world stage that established Chevy’s sports car as a contender in top-level competition.
• The Le Mans rulebook requires close adherence to production specifications, and the Corvette
C7.R’s roots reach to the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Ky. The hydroformed
aluminum frame is the same as found on the 2015 Corvette Z06, and road car and race car share
a majority of elements of bodywork and aerodynamics.
• Corvette Racing's C7.R race cars are powered by race-prepared 5.5-liter Chevrolet smallblock
V-8 engines. Technology developed in racing inspired the production 6.2-liter/620-hp LT4
small-block V-8 that powers the production Corvette Z06.
• The Chevrolet small-block V-8 is America's most popular and most successful production-based
racing engine. Total production of Chevrolet small-block-based engines is over 100 million units.
This engine has powered more winning race cars and won more championships than any other
engine in American motorsports.
