August 1, 2009. This date marked a new era of Corvette Racing.

Corvette has always participated in the American Le Mans Racing Series within the GT1 class. However, the first of this month debuted the Corvette C6.R into the GT2 class in the Mid-Ohio race.

Ever since entering into the GT1 class back in 1995, Corvette Racing has remained strong and relentless. Others racing vehicles have come and gone, like the Dodge Viper, Aston Martin DBR9 and Ferrari 575. Corvette has, however, come out of the retired GT1 class and graduated, all on its own, into the GT2 class.

You make us proud, Corvette Racing!
