We know that there are 8 C6Rs! So who is going to race them this year (2008)? C6R #7 & #8, likely Corvette Racing Team Cars for the year. C6R #1 - Carsport Holland/Phoenix: for FIA GT, #2 - PSI: FIA GT or LMS or not raced? #3 was Corvette Racing back-up last year and #4 was LAA car in LMS. That leaves #5 & #6. Will one go to LAA for LMS in 2008? Anyone hear any rumors?

Yes LAA is getting a second C6.R, I would think it is the 006 chassis or maybe the 003 chasis. Not sure if the 005 chassis was a write off or not after Jan got punted at Petit.

Also All-Inkl.com Racing has also plans to race with a C6.R or DBR9.

Scoop, Scoop, Scoop
This very official info scoops all the news hounds, I hope:
- Corvette C6R-003 has been sold to Luc Alphland - Corvette C6R-006 has been sold to SRT - Corvette C6R-005 has risen from the ashes and has a pending deal with an appropriate team. |

Compliments on your site, been visiting it for quite some time now! Do you guys know if Hezemans/Carsport Holland still has his C6.R? If i'm not mistaken I've read some rumours that he was thinking of selling the 'Vette and racing the DBR9? It would be great to have a Carsport/Phoenix dual Corvette team. |

David,
I agree with the other posters, you do a great job on your web-site and in your posts to this forum of keeping us all informed about what's going on with Corvette Racing. We all thank you for that and appreciate your efforts. I have a question for you. If C6R #1 is with Carsport, #2 is with PSI, #3 & #4 are with LAA, & #5 & #6 are off to Phoenix and SRT, that leaves Corvette Racing with only #7 & #8. What will they do for a back-up if they have a mishap like last year at PLM? Is there a #9 hiding somewhere? DK |

Actually, the 2008 backup question came up elsewhere so I asked my insider but have no answer yet. Considering all that is going on with LMP1 talk, "Private" GT2 Corvettes, FIA 2010 rules and no ALMS GT1 competition, GM may be reluctant to invest in 2 cars to gather dust all year like 007 and 008 did in 2007. In a real pinch, C5/6R-012, the C6.R development mule, has not been seen on the show circuit for a while but is assumed to still be available. That strange story is here C6R Show Cars. Just for further entertainment, a friend has promised to send me pictures of a C6.R show car that he saw in 2005 and it had a production VIN number that indicates it was based on a 1999 C-5 Hardtop pilot production car!! STOP PRESS!! SCOOP!!! Honest, as I was creating the epistle above, the answer came from my insider: There will be no chassis 9 and 10. Considering my speculations above, and other implications that I surely have missed, this is BIG news!! Right?? |

I don't think anyone has put this up yet, but Corvette Racing will be using E85 for fuel next year.

At a time when the "greenies" are starting to launch serious attacks against the ethanol lobby, which does zero for the emssions but is causing huge strife for the food supply, whilst draining the already lacking of water and causing the greater use of fertilizer, which is fouling existing water supplies. There was a bit on NPR just recently which quiped that new technology could use of more of the entire plant, to which the green reply was, that means even more fertilizer, as the plant that acts as fertilizer ,will no longer be plowed into the ground.
