Porsche, Corvette & The 21st Running Of Petit Le Mans At Road Atlanta

Mobil 1 The Grid brings us this great preview of the final round of the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship with the 21st running of Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Corvette Racing is the lead for the GTLM Drivers and Team Championships while Ford only needs to take the Green Flag to secure the Manufacturers Championship.

The team has two consecutive GTLM Championships and the third hinges on the No. 3 C7.R finishing 4th or better. Although Corvette Racing has secured multiple championships at Road Atlanta, 2010 was the last time that one of the Corvettes has been to winners circle so we are more than overdue for a win!

This is it! Corvette Racing is headed to Road Atlanta for the final race of the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech Championship.

The No. 3 team of Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia sit atop the leaderboard in GTLM and need a fourth-place finish or better to secure the GTLM Drivers Championship. The duo doesn’t have a win this year, but they have six consecutive GTLM podium finishes: Mid-Ohio (third), Watkins Glen (second), Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (second), Lime Rock Park (second), Road America (third), and VIR (second).

Every race week we send out thanks to Charley Robertson of the Corvette Racing Fans page on Facebook for compiling this list of links and info for the race. This week we are also sending our prayers. Her house was severely damaged during Hurricane Michael, but she, Jim, the dogs, and her three Corvettes are safe. We hope to see you at Daytona in January, Charley!

Over a 3-year period from 1967 to 1969 Chevrolet built 216 Corvettes with the thumping 430 (wink, wink) horsepower L88 engine between the front fenders. Since then, they’ve become the high-water mark for Corvette collectors whenever one becomes available for sale. Imagine our surprise when we received an email from Sports Car Market Magazine stating that one collector was selling both the very first and very last L88 convertibles in a package deal.
