A definite crowd favorite this weekend was the C7.R. The C7.R was developed by Chevrolet and Pratt & Miller in 2013, and is the last front-engined Corvette racer — built on an aluminum monocoque with carbon bodywork, its development intertwined with the road-going Z06. Competing in IMSA’s GTLM class and FIA GTE Pro, the C7.R won 17 races over six seasons, claiming Manufacturer Championships in 2016–17 and Team and Driver titles through 2018.
This car won its class at the 2014 Long Beach Grand Prix, finished second in GTE Pro at the 2014 Le Mans, then swept both the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 2015 12 Hours of Sebring.
