“Chevrolet and Pratt Miller have collaborated on the Corvette Racing program for over 25 years, and we are excited to continue together in the GT3 era”, said Christie Bagne, Corvette Z06 GT3.R program manager.

Corvette Z06 GT3.R customer teams will compete under the entity Corvette Racing, which will also include customer and technical support to help continue Corvette Racing's tradition of excellence that began in 1999.

Chevrolet Motorsports Competition Engineering and Pratt Miller began planning for the Corvette GT3 era more than two years ago. Pratt Miller – located in New Hudson, Michigan – is the manufacturer of the Z06 GT3.R. Pratt Miller engineers have worked with Chevrolet Motorsports engineers on development, construction and testing to date.

“It makes sense for Corvette Racing and Pratt Miller Motorsports to lead the competition element of the Z06 GT3.R program in the GTD PRO Championship starting in 2024, continued Bagne. We couldn't have a better representative than the same group that participated in the development, building and testing processes of our new Corvette race car. The lessons we learn from testing and competition will be passed on to our other Z06 GT3.R customer teams to ensure the Corvette brand is a championship contender around the world. »
