It’s no surprise that Indycar stars Will Power and Josef Newgarden like Chevys.
After all, the Penske Racing teammates compete in Chevrolets. Still, as professionals, their driving impressions of the new mid-engine Corvette carry a lot of weight.
We saw a 2017 story in Road & Track the other day about how the C5 Corvette has become the car “nobody drives, nobody sells, and nobody buys.”
LE MANS, France (Aug. 19, 2021) – Corvette Racing’s return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this time with the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8.R, is a landmark moment in program history. It also will be made available to viewers and listeners in the United States and around the world on multiple platforms.
Boy, it sure is fantastic having car shows back on the calendar once again. If you missed out on this year’s Bloomington Gold event in Indianapolis, you’ve got another shot coming up in about a month and a half. Bloomington Gold Charlotte is ramping up and will take place October 1st and 2nd at the Hendrick Motorsport complex in Charlotte, North Carolina.

With the C8 Corvettes Z06 now free from their heavy black camouflage, digital artists everywhere have begun to create computer renderings of how they believe the final street version will look like.
Apparently, Angelyne, the attention-seeking original celebrity persona, isn’t the only person who likes to drive pink Corvettes.

We’ve been inundated with the sights and sounds of the 2023 Corvette Z06 at the Nurburgring this week and it’s only Wednesday! But I’m thinking this quick 4-minute video might be the best one we’ve watched yet. Not only do we see both the base and Z06/Z07 models at the infamous Green Hell, but we finally get to watch the cars go around the most famous corner on the 12.9-mile Nordschleife – the Carousel.
