    Corvette Racing Le Mans Test Day Advance

    CORVETTE RACING AT LE MANS: All About Preparation Team eager for eight hours of track time ahead attempt at eighth class win • Corvette Racing to make 18th consecutive appearance at Le Mans • Garcia, Magnussen, Taylor reunite in No. 63 Corvette • Gavin, Milner, Fässler try to add Le Mans to last year’s Daytona, Sebring wins • Team conducted two-day private test at Road America in advance of Le Mans DETROIT (June 1, 2017) – Corvette Racing has returned to France for the first steps toward what it hopes is a ninth class victory in 18 consecutive appearances at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans. The annual Le Mans Test Day on Sunday will give the team – and the rest of the field – eight hours of track time ahead of the twice-round- the-clock event. The Test Day is broken up into a pair of four-hour sessions around the 8.5-mile Circuit de la Sarthe, which is a mix of permanent race track and public roads. It will allow Corvette Racing to validate findings from its own test at Road America earlier this month. All six drivers for the Le Mans program – Antonio Garcia, Jan Magnussen, Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner, Jordan Taylor and Marcel Fässler – sampled the Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs in low-downforce trim and on Michelin tires specific for Le Mans. With a number of positive developments from the test in-hand, focus turned toward making final preparations on the two Corvettes and sending them – as well as a collection of equipment – to Europe.
