Saturday’s race at Road Atlanta is not just the end of the 2016 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, it’s the end of an era for the Corvette Daytona Prototype race cars which will be replaced with the Daytona Prototype international (DPi) race car in 2017.
One driver who has made the most of his time in the car is Jordan Taylor who took to Instagram to offer a touching good-bye message for the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP.
The switch in 2017 to the new Daytona Prototype international (DPi) will officially end the five year reign of the Corvette Daytona Prototype. We haven’t heard much from the various teams that race the Corvette DPs as to their plans for 2017, so the off-season should be very interesting.
For those that love the Corvette DPs, you can now buy the 2-car team from Wayne Taylor Racing. The cars and a bevy of replacement parts were listed for sale earlier this summer are still available as far as we know.

All the Corvtte DP teams are awesome, great talents all, leaving great memories for the fans. Guess it is time to move on, like the previous teams had to do, the “pioneer’s” from 1999. Tomorrow has got to be memorable in Atlanta!!
