We at Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club would like to thank you for your interest in the Michelin Corvette Challenge. We are excited about the overwhelming response we have received thus far from hopeful participants, and our staff is working diligently to answer inquires and finalize all event details.



What is the Michelin Corvette Challenge?

Following several months of development by GM Engineering, Michelin Motorsports and Ron Fellows, over 1,000 miles of testing were successfully completed providing a series Corvette some 4 seconds a lap faster than the Z51 model Stingray!



This new series offers Corvette enthusiasts the opportunity to own and race a track-ready version of the 2016, C7 Stingray. Race events will operate in a controlled environment with racing orientation provided by Ron Fellows and his team of instructors. All MCC events will be hosted at the world-class Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club. Your series entry includes awards and prizes at each event along with a season-ending points fund.



The series will have individual and team championship awards providing drivers the opportunity to run all the races as a single entry or share the car with another driver. Points will be awarded to the car number in the team championship category.



The MCC is spec-series racing made easy! Your Corvette will be stored, prepped and maintained at Spring Mountain for the duration of the series. All you need to do is arrive, and drive – it’s just that simple!



Qualifications:

No racing experience necessary and open to graduates of the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School level 1 or equivalent.
