The factory Chevrolet team will field a solo Corvette C8.R in the seven-round series in the WEC’s remaining GT class after the axing of GTE Pro, in which it is competing this year with Nick Tandy and Tommy Milner.
It will again field a single C8.R in the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s GT Daytona Pro class for Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor, runners-up in this year’s points. The GT3.R ran for the first time at GM’s Milford proving ground in late September before the test programme moved to Mid-Ohio this month for running on a proper race circuit.
Porsche has so far announced eight drivers for its two Penske-run programmes with the 963 LMDh prototype across the WEC and IMSA, which leaves two full-time vacancies.
