32767 view(s)  The brand-new Corvette C6-R race car will debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2005 after a full year of rigorous testing and development. The two-car, factory-backed Chevrolet sports car program will compete in the production-based GT1 class (formerly GTS) of American Le Mans Series as well as the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, a race where the Corvette has won its class for three out of the past four years. The new race car is the most technically advanced sports car ever developed by General Motors, culling years of experience from the dominant Corvette C5-R as well as the advancements brought forth from the next-generation Corvette C6 and Z06 production models.
The same six drivers that piloted the C5-Rs to an historical undefeated season in 2004 will return to the track in 2005: Ron Fellows, Johnny O’Connell and Max Papis will drive the #3 Corvette C6-R and Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Jan Magnussen will drive the #4 Corvette C6-R.

 The Corvette is part of Carrera's new line of GT's. Gone are the days that Carrera made crude lumps of plastic, the new GT's are fully detailed inside and out. Straight out of the box the "vette" runs very well, although the 3 magnets do flatter the chassis.
Converting the C6 into a LMS slotcar is easy and straightforward. The bodyshell is light enough, but the interior and windows are heavy.
These can be exhanged for lexan items such as those from www.werkshomepage.de
On a lexan diet alone the "vette" sheds some 20gr, mounting the body of a chassis is a straightforward job. |
