24 Hours of Daytona : 25-26 Jan, 2020 The legendary endurance race is on! And the biggest story will definitely be how the new and redesigned Corvette C8R performs. It now has a flat-plane 5.5l V8 and is now mounted ahead of the rear axle (for the first time in a Corvette!).
So this now means that all 3 manufacturers-Ford, GM and Ferrari will be running cars with identical layouts in the WEC GTE Pro class Part of the charm watching endurance racing used to be the wildly different cars going wheel to wheel and on different strategies. Guess we will have to get used to this now.
Will miss the legendary Corvette C6R (which did not have a flat plane V8) used to make the deepest growl and ICE can make and used to win its class doing it! |
