Default Nürburgring 24 hours

Does anyone know if any corvettes will be racing this event next month and who the drivers might be?

AFAIK none - Callaway Competition had announced they would start, but their sponsor went south...

WEC does not have any C7's listed in GTE-PRO nor GTE-AM.

True...however, the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring is not a WEC race:

In response to the OP's question, although qualifying was last weekend, I can't find a Results List on the Web.
IIRC, last year there was at least one team running a C7.R.

Labre has been racing a C7R for the last couple of years in GT-AM, but did not field an entry this year. They wanted to move up to GT-Pro, but I believe Chevy said no. I have no idea if Labre is racing at the NB 24Hr.

Edit: I just looked up the Lemans entry list and Labre is on it in GT-AM.

Larbre Competition is the only non-manufacturer C7 team I have ever seen.

The 24 hours of the ring race is a standalone race iirc, not part of a series.

Larbre was one of two privateer C7.Rs at Le Mans last year. I forgot who the other team was, may have been AAI or something, but they were #57 and had Johnny O'Connell as one of the drivers.
