Virtual Version of Le Mans & ALMS-Winning C6.R

Available in New Year

BEDFORD, MA (December 5, 2008) – The Chevrolet Corvette is the definitive American sports car, and the C6.R is the ultimate production-based racing version of this iconic automobile.  Winner of the GT1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2006 (the most recent of Corvette's four Le Mans triumphs), and the American Le Mans Series GT1 champion in each of the four years it has competed running Corvette's ALMS championship total to eight), the current version of the C6.R is scheduled to retire from the race track following a final shot at Le Mans in June, 2009.  The Pratt & Miller team – with GM Racing the co-developer of the C6.R – will then field a new version C6.R in the GT2 class, where rules require use of more of the production car's architecture and Corvette will take on Porsche and Ferrari.
