| Corvette Racing will be bringing 3 cars to Circuit of the Americas. 2 main cars for the Tudor Championship, and 1 car for the 6hr World Endurance Championship race.
Seen above is the special livery for the WEC car, sporting the #65. This one-off race will be driven by the all-American driver lineup of Tommy Milner, Jordan Taylor, and Ricky Taylor.
All 3 drivers will be pulling double duty and will be racing in both the TUSC and WEC race on the same day.
To add to the excitement, the WEC race will be the first race ever to be run into the night at COTA.
Fans who have access can watch the WEC race live on Fox Sports 2, or you can use the commercial free, paid subscription streaming WEC app for Apple and Android mobile devices. Good news for those who have FS2, you will get the good ol' Radio Le Mans crew calling the race just as will the paid subscribers using the app.
BoP for the WEC round will be near identical to Le Mans but with a reduction in fuel capacity for everyone and the Corvette does get a very slight air restrictor increase (bigger opening).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The normal 2 car team will be looking for redemption in the penultimate round of the Tudor Championship. Corvette Racing was handed a heavy performance adjustment after having 4 wins in a row, and have been nowhere since. Championship points are closing and now it's go time.
Jan Magnussen, who sat out the last race due to a concussion from an accident in practice, will be rejoining Antonio Garcia in the #3 car.
Garcia/Magnussen won the COTA round last year in the ALMS and are looking to repeat.
Antonio Garcia and the #3 team still hold the points lead for Drivers and Team, but just.
Driver's Points Post-VIR:
1. Antonia Garcia 270pts
2. #93 Viper -6pts
3. #55 BMW -20pts
#56 BMW -20pts
#91 Viper -20pts
Porsche leads the manufactures points over Chevrolet (276-274) with Dodge third on 273 and BMW fourth on 272. Porsche North America will be running at 3rd car in the Tudor GTLM class in hope to give them an extra bullet in the gun for the manufactures championship.
AoP adjustments can be seen here: - Corvette looses 15kg and restrictor enlarged 0.3mm. BMW gains 25kg and restrictor enlarged 0.4mm. Ferrari restrictor is made smaller by 0.3mm.
