Those are great looking race cars. I hope they do really well right out of the box. Kudos to gm racing for doing so much engineering and development simultaneously.
let’s hope a lot of the Right Stuff transfer over to a hard core street track car version for us enthusiasts. Imagine 600 to 650 normally aspirated horsepower and better are and more grip via larger tires , and shaving 100 to 200# off the chassis. Let’s before great weather for us spectators.

After 20 years of watching two yellow, long-nosed Corvettes, it's taking my eye a long time to recalibrate to the mid-engine, two-tone look.
