Default Corvette racing : behind the scenes with the C6R: VIDEO

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/04/v...cenes-trailer/

Over the course of this coming season, Corvette Racing will be posting a 12-part video series on the Corvette Facebook page that tracks the development of the C6.R and its progress on the track. In the run-up to the first race of the year at Sebring in a couple of weeks, Chevrolet has released a trailer as a bit of an introduction.

2010 will be the first full season of competition for the new second-generation C6.R as the American Le Mans Series moves ahead with a single unified GT class. The biggest change this year is an all-new 5.5-liter V8 based on the production LS7 aluminum block.

Has anyone seen the full length building of a C6R on the HD theater channel??? This car is a real threat to the other teams. Seems like the Vette team was on a roll for a while

My barber's son works for Pratt-Miller who build the factory race vettes. He used to work in carbon fiber fabrication. Not sure what he does there now.
