Default Two races on the same day at COTA for Corvette Racing?!?!?

It looks like to me that in addition the the Tudor Race at COTA that there will be a 6 hour FIAWEC race starting at 5:00PM.
Why I find this interesting is that Corvette Racing will have an entry with R. Taylor, J. Taylor and T. Milner listed as drivers.
GO Corvette Racing!!! Win them both!!!!

Yep the WEC ran last year for 6 hours......but didnt have the 3rd C6.R Corvette (test car) in the mix....this year the C7.R Corvette test car will be in the WEC. What number will they run on the car #3......#4.....?? Last year the C6.R won the race in its class. With all the added weight and bones being thrown to the other teams it will be tough to win....but not impossible. In the WEC race I dont know how that will play out I dont watch that series but this year I will be sticking around for that race.

Entry List shows #65. Curious if they have the same restrictions in WEC.
Would love to find a way to watch it...

WEC has Balance of Performance as well, but it is different than the Tudor/United SportsCar performance. They'll run as they did in Le Mans, except with a smaller restictor than Le Mans. Car will be lighter than it is now in the Tudor series, and should be more competitive. OF course, it is likely it will be lighter for Tudor by then as well....
