Corvette Racing Developing The C8.R | Mobil 1 The Grid

Private tests are crucial for Corvette to refine their new C8.R for both the IMSA Series Championship and the 24 hours of Le Mans. While they may not be racing this weekend at Sebring, Corvette Racing can still use their tests to help develop the new C8.R. We go behind the scenes with Corvette Racing at their private Sebring test to see how the team and drivers use Sebring to push their new challenger.

That is a beautiful looking car. Hopefully the z06 looks more like that.

I'm not a fan of corvette but seeing that car in racing mode, make me fall in love.

[Nate]

I got this car in real racing 3 and that’s when I fell in love with it

[matthewsylvester]

Can’t wait to see it dominate the track

[blkcyborg]

I want to see Corvettes in GT3, I want to see how they do against cars other then just Porsche & BMW.

It's nice that she's such a looker that Corvette

If this is anything like the C7R it's an amazing car

[gaddyify]

The C6.R is hands down the greatest Corvette race car, but I think the C8.R will rival it or surpass it once it passes the mantle to the C9.R.

It's a bit funny that that race engine is less powerful than the production engine when it lands in the Z06 and it wont even be boosted.

The force inducted flat plane crank works for Ford . They're almost on point with Porsche. BMW is more powerful but ls prone to mechanical issues. The C8R engine has not hit it's stride it seems like
It ain't ready. Chevy please do the right thing. I know you made progress in handling with the mid engine layout.

WHy does the commentator sound like JackFrags? Excited for the new c8 z06, take my money.

[moussochocolat]

Beautifull car but... that noise🤢 RIP old vette sound😥😢😭

[paxwallacejazz]

Their competitors exist inside of such a very broad spectrum of technological strategies, front engined mid engined great weight differentials and aerodynamic approaches etc. unlike more conformist cookie cutter racing leagues.

[jayoge]

The c8R doesn't seem any faster than the previous car. I say drop a modified version of the C7R. engine ( to meet the new cars hp) and I bet the C7R powered car will be faster.
