I believe it was developed by the Corvette racing teams....I think it was around since the C7 bowed in 2014 or just after that...

That is why i ordered the Wx Tech floor mats instead of the GM ones!

Its waaaay too millennial, childish .... Look at the age of those drivers vs the average C8

It's a really interesting story that incubated over several years until the final design appeared and was adopted by GM as the official racing mascot. I read about it recently, I think it was in one of the last couple of issues of Corvette magazine? I think Jake is awesome. I have the Jake/Corvette Racing center caps on my wheels and several C8.R shirts with him on it.

I'm not really into the 2022 C8.R special edition cars, but the one thing I do like is that Jake is on the waterfall between the seats.

and BTW, I am most certainly well past the millennial age group. More like the very tail end of the baby boomer set-you are never too old to appreciate Jake....:-)
