Corvette Racing 'continuation'
Corvette will race for at least the next 2 years...in some form or another.
[Don't ask what we know or how we know it. And we admit there is 'educated trust' at play as decisions are always subject to....'the next decision'].
But for now, a 'steady hand' for Corvette Racing is the current plan. Budget-cutting logic would suggest NASCAR $$ will get a look.
That Corvette has GM's highest brand equity, that Corvette Racing IS the Corvette marketing budget, that there are GM'ers with real auto passion in their veins still in their employ....
......all adds up to Corvette Racing 'continuation'.
* GT1?, GT2?, EVO?, ALMS full seasons / partial seasons?, Le Mans road trips? ....the details are TBD. But, the first hurdle ['go' or 'no go'] is being cleared.
Then again, maybe Wagoner's hand gesture is simply explaining his new GM Racing mandate. "NASCAR has their templates, so do I. From this moment forward, only GM race cars that can pass under my hand will get funding."
....and that's the REAL reason Corvette tested lower ride heights @ Le Mans!
