Wow! I hadn't heard of it. Will it run in American LeMans, Rolex or just @ Daytona & maybe LeMans?

Have any of the specs been released? This is friggin' fantastic!

Why don't they put airbags in that and sell it to the public?

reckon they just put a corvette twist on an rcr superlite coupe.



the new one looks hot and i hope rcr make a look a like kit so people can still build their own...lol as this car is only ever going to be a concept car that no one will ever be able to own. I do love the corvette look to it though.

Well, hopefully they run more than just the 24hr race. Would really like to see how they'd do over an entire Rolex season.

It's actually built to meet the "prototype" class specs of the Rolex series. Most have a similar shape.

Nice cues to the Corvette.

Can't wait to see this lapping the other prototypes like the C5R and C6R did in the GT classes.

To be fair, even if Chevy was "borrowing" this design from RCR, they borrowed someones knock off C5Z wheels. So it's essentially stealing from yourself on a small level.
