Corvette Roars to Victory at Long Beach Grand Prix

The magical Taylor brothers, Ricky and Jordan, managed to outperform their Prototype class competitors onboard their 10 Konica Minolta Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP at the Monaco of the America’s—The Long Beach Grand Prix.

This weekend we were on site to check out all the racing action, and whether it was the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, or the main circus—Indycar, the action, just like the weather, was hot and quite enjoyable. Starting with celebrities like Mario Andretti, and superstar boxer, Oscar de la Hoya, Long Beach is always packed with celebrities, though the real heroes are the drivers piloting these high-power and high-downforce machines through the narrow and bumpy streets of Long Beach, California.

Meanwhile, in the GTLM class, the Corvette C7-R piloted by superstar, Oliver Gavin and his teammate Milner, were denied their 100th victory by a pair of Porsche 911 RSRs. Still, the factory Corvette team feels they’re more than ready come the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

Enjoy the shots!
