Video: The 11 greatest-ever Corvette race cars
Between the rapidly growing competency of the road cars over the years and its extensive history of motorsport, it’s amazing that the Corvette hasn’t actually ‘broken’ the UK and Europe. It has its niche fans but it really has nothing like the cache of European rivals like the 911, and that’s a shame. In this video, we talk through the seven-decade history of Corvettes in motorsport and it might just change your mind.
Of course the Corvette, being as American as an AR in a broom closet, got its racing start in Nascar. But it quickly moved on to be a successful road racer and it wasn’t long before it broke onto European circuits.
The Corvettes the millennial generation know and love – the C5s, C6s and beyond – have been absolute titans at Le Mans, in the World Endurance Championship and beyond. Corvette Racing has been a European endurance racing staple, even if the road cars haven’t won us over yet. There’s still time.
