The C7 was there on display this year. It really looks much better than the pictures especially the tail lights look less Camaro-like!

Race Director
All Hail Corvette Victory!!!!
SEBRING, Fla., (March 16, 2013) – Tommy Milner made a late pass for the lead and then held on for the final 15 minutes as the No. 4 GT Compuware Corvette C6.R won the American Le Mans Series GT class 61st Annual Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway on Saturday.
The No. 4 Corvette C6.R – driven by 2012 Drivers’ champions Milner and Oliver Gavin, and Richard Westbrook – overcame an early electrical issue and two key penalties to win the 2013 ALMS opener. It is Gavin’s fifth victory at Sebring; Milner and Westbrook each recorded his first.
“What an incredible effort by Corvette Racing; these guys never gave up,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. Vice-President for Performance Vehicles & Motorsports. “They came from behind multiple times. It was a focused team effort, with great driving and great calls in the pits, and great pits stops, and they delivered a big win. I’m proud of them.”

I witnessed from, both, the Corvette Corral and the Terrace above the Corvette pit. When the Corvette passed the Ferrari in the last half hour of the race, the entire pit crew erupted in applause. It was a great weekend.
Sebring is always a great event. I'm sure that the combined series will make it even better. If you want to commit to an event, Sebring is the one.
