That's too cool that you are there with your Z06 for this race. How do the C8.Rs sound in person?

Have fun!

We go to Watkins Glen every year. Great event there and other things to do in the area. If you are just going Sunday go to the WG website (or call) and get tickets. If you are going for the full weekend and taking your Corvette you may want to get Corvette Corral tickets. Both C8Rs will be there all weekend Thursday to Sunday. If you are planning on staying overnight get a hotel room as soon as possible. Event is rain or shine.

Here's a few random pictures from last year.

If I knew I would tell you. I saw the C8R and took pictures. Maybe someone else can tell us the color.

Here are the C8 colors however the C8R didn't seem to match when I saw it in person. Shadow gray metallic seems to be close.
  • Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat
  • Torch Red
  • Sebring Orange Tintcoat
  • Accelerate Yellow
  • Black
  • Shadow Gray Metallic
  • Zeus Bronze Metallic
  • Blade Silver Metallic
  • Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic
  • Arctic White
  • Rapid Blue
