This year, Chevrolet’s Corvette Racing program is running one C8.R in the American-based IMSA series and another in the Europeanbased FIA World Endurance Championship series. Following the two longest races on IMSA’s 2023 calendar, the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January and the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring in March, the No. 3 Corvette C8.R ran its shortest race of the year in Long Beach, California, on April 15. The 100-minute Grand Prix of Long Beach was also the only street race the Corvette team will compete in this year.
