 |
| The Corvette team in the pits at LeMans |
Corvette Racing fans throughout the United States once again have the opportunity to get an inside look at the team’s chase for an eighth class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. FOXSports.com will provide a live video stream featuring in-car cameras in both the No. 63 and No. 64 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R race cars and the Corvette Racing pit throughout Saturday and Sunday’s race.
It means Corvette owners and Corvette Racing fans won’t miss a minute of the action as Corvette Racing competes in the GTE Pro class in the 83rd running of the French endurance race. The team is trying to complete endurance racing’s “Triple Crown" by adding a Le Mans victory to those from the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
“This year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans is shaping up to be one of the most competitive ever," said Jeff Chew, Manager of Business Strategy and Operations for Chevrolet Racing. “We are pleased to partner again with FOX Sports to take our Corvette Racing fans along on the ride for all 24 hours. We know all our Corvette owners and fans are eager to see Corvette Racing race toward an eighth Le Mans victory"
Antonio Garcia, Jan Magnussen and Ryan Briscoe will drive the No. 63 Corvette C7.R while Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and Jordan Taylor partner in the No. 64 Corvette. The two cars were fourth and sixth in the annual Test Day on June 1. With seven class victories at Le Mans since 2001, Corvette Racing and Chevrolet rank among the most successful teams and manufacturers to compete at Le Mans in the modern era.
