C7R will race in new United SportsCar Racing
 

I'm amped!! :rock:

C7R will be in the GT Le Mans (GTLM), consisting of the ALMS' current GT class.

United SportsCar Racing will debut in 2014 with the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona.

Cool

Oh poop! I forgot that announcement was today, meant to watch/listen. :(

Thanks for posting. :)

I missed it too. Then I remembered and looked it up. I can't wait to see/hear the C7R.

Agree! The classes look good. I was concerned they would muck them up somehow but of course I was wrong. Very much looking forward to bigger and better things. Esp the C7R! :)

:thumbs:

Glad they didn't mess things up, which racing bodies seem quite adept at doing.

At least it's still IMSA. Too many classes I think but we'll see how it runs for the first season. Love me some road racing :party:. The merger was inevitable and if it manages to keep most of the good stuff while allowing for the series to continue and (hopefully) grow? I'll be a ticket buying fool then! See you at the Baltimore GP 2014 :cheers:

I'll have to admit, listening to the Ferrari's screaming up through the last chicane before the hill drop back to the front straight at Road Atlanta was what got me hooked on racing in the first place :cool:. But I am always cheering for the boyz in yellow to come through - hope this season is as fantastic as last year was to end ALMS. :cheers:

I can only hope the C7R will have the same kind of success. I love the sound of the C6R vs most of the other GT cars and can only hope the C7R will be as much fun to watch race.

Anything's better than the Vipers - they sounded like a 800 hp rolling fart last time I heard them. :eek:

I have a feeling the Viper is gonna take a real run at that class this next season. I believe team Corvette will still take them out.:D

Interesting - no "P1"

the amount of handicapping that would have had to be done to the p1 cars to get them down to the slowness of the DP cars would have been impossible to have happen. P1 now has to go play in the WEC. Having DP as the top class sucks.

1. You stole my pic!

2. It is a shame that P1 is gone. A damn shame.

P1's as cools as they are, are unsustainable money-wise during the rigors of the entire season. I'm happy with the class structure and the racing should be flat amazing. I'm a fan of both series and I'm really stoked about 2014.

That said, the name is GAWD AWFUL!!! That, and I think a high schooler in graphics class could've come up with a better logo! They should've just bought out TRANS-AM too just for the name!

C7R Specs
 

Have the specs been released yet for the C7R, especially the motor? I have heard rumors that Pratt & Miller is not building the final race version. Any truth to that?

Drivetrain from current car, Pratt Miller did the build.

Wow, I completely forgot starting this thread...at least now we have a car to look at!

Really? You looked at that car and the mirrors are what you are hot for? :rofl:
