![[VIDEO] Relive Corvette Racing's Double-Podium Finish at the Long Beach Grand Prix](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019/041919_4b.jpg)
Corvette Racing was hoping to get that 100th win in IMSA competition during last week’s Bubba Burger Sports Car Grand Prix of Long Beach and while the team missed out on a 1st place finish, taking the second and third places was the best case scenario in the 100 minute sprint race.
Over the last few years, teams have learned that anything can happen on the tight confines of the temporary street course and that was the case once again this year. If you missed the race or just want to catch up on that crazy ending, we have the full race broadcast from IMSA below.
Have you ever wondered what happened to a car that you owned years ago?
Marie Hennings of Mohawk, N.Y., had that feeling many times about a 1953 Corvette she and her husband Jim owned for 11 years beginning in 1963.
If the Corvette is supposed to be an “old man’s car,” then why did it recently rank seventh on the list of the most Instagrammed cars in the world?
I don’t know a lot of old men who use Instagram on a regular basis, so in our eyes, that means a lot of young folks who use Instagram also like Corvettes.

Whoa, big news here!
We were wondering if there would be any C8 Corvette news that would be made during the NCM Bash that runs Thursday, April 25th through Saturday, April 28th. We figured there might be some kind of announcement like officially revealing the new logo or an announcement on where the reveal will happen. But now it looks like GM may be offering a glimpse of the C8 Corvettes themselves during the bash.
![[VIDEO] HP Tuners Has Finally Made the 2019 Corvette ZR1 Tunable!](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019/041819_4b.jpg)
The C7 is coming to a close soon with the 2019 Corvette ZR1 and its 755-hp LT5 V8 standing as the pinnacle of performance for the generation. Nearly 2,500 Corvette ZR1s have been built or are scheduled and yet, since production started in March 2018, there is one aspect that we haven’t see for the ZR1 as we did with previous models and that’s the ability for owners to have their cars tuned.
Remember all the great videos of tuners snapping up the Stingrays and Z06s when they first came out, complete with burnouts in the dealer’s lot followed by dyno videos featuring higher horsepower numbers just a few weeks later? Unfortunately, those buying the ZR1 with the intent to upgrade and tune for even more performance were thwarted by the factory.
As you can imagine, the peeps we talk with are very excited about the reveal of the C8 Corvette on July 18th at a still undisclosed location. And it got me to thinking, will Chevrolet also reveal the C8.R alongside the C8 street car as they did at 2014’s NAIAS for the reveal of the C7 Z06 and the C7.R?
If you are going to the National Corvette Museum next week for the NCM Bash, stop by and say hello!

Is Brown the new Orange?
The Corvette design team will soon find out once orders for the 2020 Corvette are accepted and the cars begin production. That’s when we’ll begin to see how popular one of the new colors expected for the 2020 Corvette called Zeus Bronze (RPO GUI).
