The question would be what is deamed necessary to be classed as an homologated GT1 engine, and benefit from the restrictor break, does it have to be identical to the C6.R V8, or just the same basic spec?

If LAA just want a factory backed GT1 motor they could look to Aston, Maserati, Ferrari, even Lamborghini if GM were unwilling to supply their GT1 engine.

How about what Steve Wesoloski has to say on it then!

but this doesn’t mean Wesoloski will be passing out Katech-built Corvette LMP1 engines to all those that come calling.

“We have had inquiries regarding using our GT1 engine in an LMP1 chassis but have not decided if we want to get into the business of selling hardware for those purposes.”
