Corvette Racing Begins 2013 American Le Mans Series Season Tomorrow With 12 Hours Of Sebring

In less than 24 hours, Corvette Racing will fire up their engines, and begin the 2013 American Le Mans Series racing season in sunny Florida at the 61st annual 12 Hours of Sebring. This season also marks the last season under the American Le Mans Series banner, as ALMS and Grand-Am Racing will be fusing together to create the United SportsCar Racing beginning in 2014.

Last year, Corvette Racing placed second and fourth as the checkered flag waved on the grueling 12-hour-long race. Hopefully this year, the team will drive their wide-body C6.R racers to victory. Yes, the team will continue using the C6 body style for the time being, but we can surely expect a C7.R down the road, possibly for the next season, since the 2014 Corvette C7 hasn’t launched yet.

  1. I’m pretty sure Corvette Racing will be required to switch to the C7 next season since the road car will be in full production and GT homologation rules

  2. Go Jake and Team Pratt and Miller! Take No Prisoners!

    I kind of wonder if they may take one of the teams to start running a C7 late this season if they are not in the championship Fight.

  4. GM should have had the C7R ready to race this year. And they should have supplied a couple of prototypes for pace cars at Grand Am and ALMS races. What better way to promote the new car than that?

  10. Well the #4 was leading for the first few hours but has dropped back because of a long stop in the pits.

  11. American driver Tommy Milner saved Team Corvettes butt by being the last driver and drove his heart out for good 45 minutes, made up 1 lap and won it with just 2.7 seconds to spare !
    Bet this young guy will be jacked up for weeks !

    Great job !

  13. Hi there! This post couldn’t be written much better! Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He continually kept preaching about this. I most certainly will send
    this information to him. Fairly certain he
    will have a very good read. Many thanks for sharing!
