C7.R Jake

Has anyone noticed that Jake has been removed from the stinger of the C7R Corvette Racing cars? Do we know why?

If that were the case, they would have simply swapped it. I really wonder why. It's been taken off the hood and other areas as well.

They are in the process of developing the new politically correct and current Jake for next season. Stay tuned for the unveiling of next year's graphic, "Transgender Jake"

Only kidding, I hope!
