Corvette Racing is an American auto racing team established in 1999 by General Motors and Pratt Miller for the purposes of competing in sports car racing internationally. Corvette Racing was originally the official racing program for General Motors and their Chevrolet Corvette production car until the end of the LM GTE class in 2023, having utilized four generations of the Corvette to develop racing cars, although racing programs involving the Corvette have been endorsed by General Motors to varying degrees since 1956. [1] The team is known for its yellow livery and several class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. [2]

Corvette Racing closed out its direct factory operation at the end of 2023, with General Motors solely focusing on customer teams with the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Beginning in 2024, the team rebranded under the name Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports for the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Corvette Racing is also supporting TF Sport, which switched from Aston Martin to Corvette for 2024 in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Both the IMSA and WEC entries are run with limited GM factory support. [3] [4] [5]

Corvette Racing has had multiple successes across multiple championships, including one championship in the FIA World Endurance Championship, five championships in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, and ten championships in the American Le Mans Series, as well as nine victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, four victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and eight victories at Petit Le Mans. [6] [7] [8]

Results

24 Hours of Le Mans

Officially debuting in 2000, Corvette Racing has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans nine times. From 2024, Corvette Racing supports customer team TF Sport for Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship. [5]
