Corvette Racing scored its 100th ever win at in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship’s Northeast Grand Prix from Lime Rock Saturday, an achievement that had been hanging over the team’s head since it scored its 99th victory in the Sebring 12 Hours earlier this year.
In its 20 years of competition, the Corvette squad’s 100 wins have helped Chevy claim 10 manufacturer’s championships in GT racing. Those 100 wins include eight at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, three at the Rolex 24 At Daytona and ten at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. They also holds a record 10 team championships in the now-defunct American Le Mans Series.
Partners like Pratt & Miller, builders of the Corvette C5-R, C6.R and C7.R Pratt & Miller, have made it possible for Corvette Racing to become one of the most successful GT teams in all of modern day motorsport. Like Pratt & Miller, Mobil 1 and Exxon Mobil have been with Corvette Racing since it first began testing the C5-R in 1996 ahead of a competition debut in 1999 and have stuck with the team ever since.
Mobil 1 wished Corvette Racing a big congratulations on its 100th win with a short tribute video, which we’ve embedded below. As a reminder, you can watch the team gun for its 101st win when the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship heads to Road America for the Continental Tire Road Race Showcase on August 7th.
