Sebring: Artic White C6.R Corvette Salutes Fellows, ALMS Z06

For the first time since 2003’s 24 Hours of LeMans, a color other than Yellow was featured on a GT1 Corvette Racecar. In an obvious salute to Ron Fellows, the C6.R was reskinned in Artic White to mimic the limited edition Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Championship Z06, even down to the red hash marks on the fender. The Artic White Corvette C6.R was raced hard by Ron Fellows and co-drivers Johnny O’Connell and Jan Magnussen in the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring and finished in 2nd place, just 17 seconds behind the #4 (and Yellow) Corvette C6.R driven by Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Max Papis.

The Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Championship Corvette Z06 is the first signed special edition in Corvette’s 54-year history, and is the first Arctic White Z06 ever offered. Only 399 are planned for production: approximately 300 for the United States, 33 for Canada and 66 for other export markets. The Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06 will be available this spring. Although the MSRP is $77,500 most people agree they will be sold for substantially more.
