Stevenson Motorsports will make a return to the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge this year in a Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R and today teased the livery they will run on the all-new GT4-spec racecar.
Stevenson won the 2015 IMSA CTSCC in a Camaro Z/28.R and will return with the same drivers, Matt Bell and Robin Liddell, to try and take another title with Chevrolet.
“We’ve got an outstanding team and we are well prepared to once again be racing in both of the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge and IMSA WeatherTech events during these IMSA weekends,” said team owner Johnny Stevenson. “Hopefully we can get off to a quick start at COTA and be a factor once again this season!”
The team’s eagle livery is a instantly recognizable to those familiar with Stevenson’s Z/28.R and the Audi R8 LMS in runs in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar series’ GTD class. The team also competed in a Camaro GT.R from 2010-2013 and enjoyed similar to success to 2015, despite never taking the championship in that car.
Both Bell and Lidell and are excited to get back in the Camaro and race.
“Obviously I’m delighted to return to the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge series with Stevenson Motorsports and especially with the latest Camaro GT4 platform,” said Liddell. “After enjoying so much success with the Camaro in the past in both the GT and GS classes, it almost feels like a sort of homecoming. ”
“There’s no team I’d rather be working for in that paddock,” added Bell. “Surely they’ll take everything learned the last time we ran a Camaro and apply it to the new GT4 car. I’ve heard some really great things about the new Gen 6 GT4 Camaro so I can’t wait to try it myself. I’ve spent most of my career, at this point, with a bowtie on my hood and it feels great to have another opportunity to do it again!”
