Corvette, an “American Idol”!

Corvette is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its first Le Mansstart, seven years after its story began on the road.

Since 57 years, the Corvette is a real icon. Six generations of models survived oil and financial crises, the standardization of the car market, and all the changes in motor racing regulations, with the fabulous sound of its V8, since you can hear the Vette before seeing it on the Le Mans track, with an immediately recognizable body since the unveiling of the legendary Stingray version of the seventies.

A good opportunity to celebrate this memory will be to reach Saint-Saturnin and the Classic British Welcome on Friday June 11, with the presence of Corvette Racing boss Doug Fehan… And the best way to celebrate Corvette’s Le Mans anniversary would be to score an LMGT2 win, for the first Le Mans appearance of this "American Idol" in this category.
