During his presentation at the National Corvette Museum's C5/C6 Bash last month, Corvette Racing's Program Manager Doug Fehan spoke about the move to the GT2 class and answered questions about the new Corvette ZR1-based GT2 C6.R. Doug is joined on stage with retired VLE and Corvette Chief Engineer Tom Wallace.
The most interesting news to come from the GT2 Q&A is that the new engine will come direct from GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI - the same facility that builds the engines for the Z06 and the ZR1 Corvette. Previously, the engines were supplied by Katech. The move to supply engines in-house means that there will be a greater opportunity for technology transfer from the racing program to the production Corvette.
