According to a recent claim by Sportscar365, General Motors will end its factory Corvette
GM's head of racing competition engineering, Mark Stielow, said that the carmaker
would be able to concentrate on customer teams for the Chevy Corvette Z06 GT3.R
after deciding to part ways with the whole official Corvette Racing squad. Consequently,
, Stielow said that GM would no longer provide factory assistance to the Corvette Racing
teams competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech
SportsCar Championship, which now run Corvette C8.R racing cars.
In an interview, Stielow said, "We're going to have a true customer program because we're moving
"I wanted to keep the launch slow, but very high quality; my team wanted to be very enthusiastic
and build a lot of cars.""We're going to have a pool of Corvette drivers [that will race
with customer teams], but we're not going to have a fully factory-funded Corvette race
provide some help to other teams, but it won't be as generously supported as Cadillac's factory effort.
