GTD PRO Manufacturer title, Akin Award and a GTD podium highlight the day.

BRASELTON, Ga. (October 4, 2026) – The GTD PRO Manufacturer Championship, another Akin Award and a GTD podium were among the highlights from Corvette Racing at the end of a chaotic and unpredictable 10-hour Petit Le Mans for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ two Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R and DragonSpeed’s entry all led laps at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. At the end of a wild Saturday – which featured a race-record 17 full-course yellows and a red-flag stoppage for lightning – the No. 74 DragonSpeed Corvette of Giacomo Altoé, Casper Stevenson and Sebastien Bourdais placed sixth in GTD PRO as the highest-finishing Z06 GT3.R in the class.

It was the first race in GTD PRO for the DragonSpeed Corvette, which led three times in the race’s second half.

The two yellow Pratt Miller Corvettes were contenders throughout. The No. 3 of Antonio Garcia, Alexander Sims and Marvin Kirchhöfer placed eighth in class after it led the race twice for 61 laps. The trio appeared headed for a podium finish – if not better – before a flat left-rear tire late ended their challenge.

The No. 4 Corvette of Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone were 12th due to multiple rounds of late-race contact. Milner and Catsburg arrived at Road Atlanta leading the Driver Championship and were in position at dusk to convert that lead to the class title having led three times for 29 laps. The No. 4 Corvette’s championship chase came to an end when Catsburg was pushed off-track and into a gravel trap by another GTD PRO contender, which received a penalty.

In GTD, a 10th-place class finish for 13 Autosport netted Orey Fidani his third straight Bob Akin Award championship, which includes a third automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2027. Fidani, Matt Bell and Lars Kern marched up the GTD field and weathered chaos within the class as well to lead eight laps late.

DXDT Racing climbed the GTD podium for the first time this season in a remarkable drive back from four laps down early. Charlie Eastwood, Mason Filippi and Salih Yoluc placed third in the No. 36 Corvette Z06 GT3.R and led late in class, as well.

Chevrolet and Corvette Racing will return to IMSA competition at the 2027 Rolex 24 At Daytona on January 30-31.

ERIC WARREN, GENERAL MOTORS VICE PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL MOTORSPORTS COMPETITION: «It’s been exciting. The Corvette Z06 GT3.R really has come into its own the last year across IMSA, WEC. Really proud of that championship. Came down to the wire there, as well. It’s great to have another championship. That car is just incredible. Couldn’t be more proud.»

MARK STIELOW, DIRECTOR, GM MOTORSPORTS COMPETITION PROGRAMS: “Congratulations to Orey Fidani and 13 Autosport on securing Orey’s third consecutive Bob Akin Award championship. The competition has been close and competitive all season, and this prestigious award is a testament to the commitment, consistency and execution of the entire 13 Autosport team. This is another strong result for Chevrolet and our customer racing program, which continues to represent the brand at the highest level of endurance competition. We’re proud of everyone who contributed to this achievement and look forward to seeing 13 Autosport back at the 24 Hours of Le Mans next June.”

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-RACE DRIVER QUOTES

TOMMY MILNER, NO. 4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “There certainly are positives. First place in the Manufacturer Championship, which is great for the program. It’s great to have both cars all year long be very competitive all throughout the season. The 3 car was unlucky at times. But obviously it was great for them to get the win at Detroit. So that’s what you need to have… both cars being fast all year long and we had that. So that was great. Obviously, it’s unfortunate for us in the Driver Championship and the Team Championship. I said a few weeks ago that we just wanted to have a chance to win a championship when we got here. There were three cars that had a good shot at it, and today was not our day. We were taken out at the end by a competitor, which is pretty poor. Really a bummer to lose it like that or lose an opportunity like that. But ultimately a championship is your full body of work for the whole season. It’s not just one race that loses you a championship. But it is frustrating. To have our race end like that was pretty poor. Ultimately I’m super happy with all of our guys and the whole team from top to bottom. I’m excited for how strong we were all year long. We’ll tidy up little things on our end to be as good as we can be to be a bit better. And hopefully that’s enough to compete again for a championship.”

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «To get the Manufacturer title is a big thing for Corvette Racing and for Chevrolet. I’m very pleased that we were able to wrap that up. However the emotions of Petit Le Mans were the roller coaster that we expected. I don’t know how you summarize that race, honestly. So many things happened. We cycled to the front, cycled to the back, had some great racing and we were on the receiving end of some not so great racing, as well. I got spun around and had a puncture at one point near the end as well. To be able to finish in the position we did is honestly something that I have to take. We were never fighting for the Driver title or the Team title. It’s a real, real shame for the 4 that they were at the receiving end of others’ behavior that basically ruined their chances. Although today’s a bitter filter swallow, there’s also plenty of other positive moments during the year. We need to just review things in the offseason and see where we can improve. We’re always wanting to learn from what we can and try again next year.»

Corvette GT3 teams lead key championships after wild Indianapolis finish.

INDIANAPOLIS (September 20, 2026) – Chevrolet and two of its Corvette Z06 GT3.R teams will head into the final IMSA race of the season leading their respective championship standings following a chaotic Battle on the Bricks sprint race Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The No. 4 Corvette of Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg finished second in GTD PRO for Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports to match their best finish of the season. The result was doubly important as they took the lead for the Driver and Team championship standings with only the 10-hour Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta to go.

Their runner-up finish not only moves them ahead by 47 points, it gave Chevrolet a 68-point advantage in the Manufacturer Championship heading into the season finale for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

A chaotic final half of the race elevated the No. 3 Corvette of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims from 10th in GTD PRO after the second and final full-course yellow to fourth at the end. There were a number of different fuel strategies among the field – plus contact and penalties for multiple cars – that swung the results in the favor of the No. 3 team.

In GTD, Matt Bell and Orey Fidani claimed their first podium finish of the season in the No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R thanks to a final-lap pass to claim a third-place result in class.

Like in GTD PRO, the finish for 13 Autosport carried added importance as Fidani regained the lead in the Bob Akin Award points standings going into Road Atlanta. The season-long award goes to the top points-scoring Bronze driver in GTD, and Fidani has claimed it – and the 24 Hours of Le Mans entry that comes with it – the past two years.

Giacomo Altoé and Casper Stevenson matched their best GTD result of the season in the DragonSpeed No. 81 Corvette. The pairing finished fourth and were in podium contention throughout the race’s second half following a strong stint by Stevenson, who went from 10th at the start to fifth at the team’s first pit stop. Altoé advanced further up the order in his two stints to the end of the race.

The race for DXDT Racing and its No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R was undone by two early hits from separate LMP2s. The first one sent Mason Filippi into the pits for four laps due to a toelink repair. He was hit again halfway through his stint but remained on track. He handed off to Robert Wickens for the final 50-minute stint. The pair finished 12th in GTD.

Corvette Racing’s five Corvette GT3 teams will close the season with the 10-hour Petit Le Mans on Saturday, October 3 from Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-RACE DRIVER QUOTES

ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «That definitely wasn’t boring! It was frustrating, though, for sure. It’s hard to say if we reacted the right way or not. Starting from P7 and on the first few green laps, unless I was aggressive it was going to be difficult to pass. The car was feeling really good. We were just offset on the way we were doing lap times between cars. We tried to go out of sequence; that works at times but probably not for today. We were lacking that little bit to be able to pass a few guys because the difference between cars was tiny. That kind of dictated the race for us. At the end, there was all the mayhem but we stayed out of trouble and at the end what was going to be a P7 or P8 ended up a P4. I think we maximized everything we had for sure.»

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZO6 GT3.R: «I felt like we executed a really nice race today. We pushed up and were able to make up a couple of places in passing people on-track when we needed to. Circumstances really put us back a bit to start with. But then in the last stint I didn’t overtake anybody and we went from 10th to fourth. Obviously there were some people who were out of position and needed fuel and things like that, so it wasn’t a true 10th place. Nevertheless, just by keeping our nose clean and being sensible out there gained us positions. I would have taken fourth gladly starting the last stint. Nice to get a solid result again. I’m very pleased for the 4 car that they’ve gotten the lead and the Manufacturer Championship is more secure now, which is the way we want it going to Petit Le Mans. It’s perfect, really, and a decent day to be honest.»

Chevrolet retains GTD PRO Manufacturers lead; No. 4 still second in Drivers points

ALTON, Va. (August 23, 2026) – Chevrolet and Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports remained in the thick of the GTD PRO championship after Sunday’s Michelin GT Challenge at VIR with two rounds to go in this year’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. 

Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg placed sixth at Virginia International Raceway in the No. 4 Corvette Z06 GT3.R and remained second in the GTD PRO Drivers Championship with the result. Chevrolet also maintained its lead in the Manufacturers standings heading to next month’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The No. 4 team limited the damage from a slow first pit stop at the end of Catsburg’s opening stint after the drivers’ side door wouldn’t latch. Milner rejoined the race ninth in class but rebounded to sixth after making the team’s final pit stop with 62 minutes to go. A problem on the energy fill, however, during the stop forced Milner to save fuel toward the end of his stint and he had to cede a position to the championship-leading BMW in order to get to the finish.

In GTD, 13 Autosport’s Matt Bell and Orey Fidani placed sixth in their No. 13 Corvette. The pairing led the Corvette contingent in the class and stands second in the season-long Akin Award standings heading to Indianapolis. Another Akin championship would send the team to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the third straight year.

The No. 36 DXDT Racing Corvette of Robert Wickens and Mason Filippi was eighth in GTD in a largely trouble-free run. Filippi drove the first 50 minutes as Wickens double-stinted the Corvette to the end of the race.

Two Corvettes saw their days effectively end almost immediately. Alexander Sims went off-track and hard into the tire barriers in the No. 3 Corvette after a side-by-side battle to bring out a full-course yellow on the opening lap. He was evaluated and released from the infield care center after IMSA’s standard post-accident checks.

In a separate incident, DragonSpeed’s Casper Stevenson and the GTD pole-sitting No. 81 Corvette were hit by the then-second place Ferrari further back down the track. The contact sent the DragonSpeed Corvette to the garage with damage to the steering system, and the team lost five laps as a result.

The next IMSA event for Corvette Racing is the Battle on the Bricks on Sunday, September 20 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-RACE DRIVER QUOTES

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «It was tight going up through the Esses with the cars going side-by-side. At some point coming over the small crest, I could see the left-hander coming up and Harry (King, No. 77 Porsche) was on my right and it was just tight. At some point I had to decide to go over the curb… I just lost control, unfortunately, on cold tires in a compromised place on track. It was a big hit but the tire barriers did a really good job thankfully.

«Up until that point, there were multiple cars side by side for many corners. I don’t think it was overly aggressive, honestly. We’re all racing hard but pretty fair. I put myself in that situation by having a poor qualifying yesterday. You’re in the pack and it’s racing up through the Esses, and we don’t get a chance to practice these situations. You practice on your own and try to get clear laps, then you’re just thrown into that situation and everyone’s trying to judge it. So, it’s not gone our way that time. There wasn’t a ton of room and in a half-a-tenth you have to make a decision on if he’s going to make room for me or not. I tried to take in my own hands and cut the curb a bit. It was an unfortunate situation.»

Milner, Catsburg edge closer to points lead; DragonSpeed just misses GTD podium

ELKHART LAKE, Wisc. (August 2, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg returned to the GTD PRO podium in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with a third-place finish at the end of a chaotic six-hour Motul Endurance SportsCar Grand Prix at Road America on Sunday.

It was the third podium finish of the season for the duo in the No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R and first since the third race of the year. Milner drove the opening and closing stages with Catsburg driving the middle portion in a clean run by the No. 4 team.

The race and results had significant championship implications. Chevrolet’s lead in the class Manufacturers Championship grew to 105 points with three races and 1,155 points remaining. Milner and Catsburg remained second in the Drivers Championship but moved to within 15 points of first in the standings; the gap is the same in Teams points with the top-four within 99 points after Sunday.

Contact following a restart ruined the day for Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims in the No. 3 Corvette. After Sims and Garcia split driving for the first four hours, Sims suffered contact with just under two hours left that left the No. 3 in the Turn Three gravel trap and with right-rear damage. The Corvette returned to the race after losing six laps, and the duo finished 10th in class.

In GTD, DragonSpeed recorded its best result of the season – a fourth-place finish for the No. 81 Corvette of Giacomo Altoé, Casper Stevenson and Alec Udell. Stevenson qualified near the front, and the DragonSpeed Corvette stayed toward the sharp end throughout. Udell led toward the end of his stint, and Altoé challenged for a podium position late. He made what appeared to be a podium-clinching pass just before the race’s final full-course yellow flew with 10 minutes to go, but IMSA officials ruled that the pass took place after the yellow came out.

The No. 13 Autosport Corvette of Matt Bell, Lars Kern and Orey Fidani placed seventh in GTD – their best finish since the Sebring 12 Hours – as Fidani regained the lead in the Bob Akin championship standings with the result. Fidani and Kern raced the No. 13 into the top-five inside the final two hours with Bell third before contact on a restart sent him off-track and down the order. Bell drove a strong double-stint to the end and made up 11 spots, and the late-race yellow prevented from moving further up.

DXDT Racing’s No. 36 Corvette also got the worst of late contact that ruined a potential podium run. After double-stints by Mason Filippi and Robert Wickens, Charlie Eastwood was hit and spun from seventh place. He was able to get the Corvette going again but fell to 14th at the end.

The next race for the five Corvette Z06 GT3.R teams in IMSA is the Michelin GT Challenge at Virginia International Raceway on Sunday, August 23.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-RACE DRIVER QUOTES

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “There were a lot of cars and not a lot of space. All through Turn One, it was very congested and we got through there OK. It felt even more congested going into Three. I knew I had a Porsche on the inside of me, and then I was right behind the 65. He was holding mid-track and so I braked to the outside and in hindsight that was the wrong thing to do. It was a bit messy. I also don’t sit here and think I wasn’t smart for doing it. I took a risk and it didn’t pay off this time. But I’m very pleased for the 4 car guys. They closed up so much in the points with the BMW’s troubles. It seems like we had a long list of issues in this race with refueling, with radio and whether or not we could have made it into the pitlane with Antonio on a late call. Unfortunately Road America is still a place where I haven’t had a good result. I love it but I need to get a good result here next year.”

Chevrolet still leads GTD PRO Manufacturers point standings

BOWMANVILLE, Ontario, Canada (July 12, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R finished fourth in the IMSA GTD PRO class in Sunday’s Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. 

Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg drove to one spot outside the class podium while their teammates – Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims – finished ninth in class in the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R.

The result for the No. 4 Corvette was good enough to keep Chevrolet in the lead of the Manufacturers Championship points standings in GTD PRO, leading BMW by 47 points. 

Giacomo Altoe and Casper Steveson, drivers of the No. 81 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for DragonSpeed finished 10th in the GTD class despite a mid-race, drive-through penalty for jumping a restart.

Matt Bell and Orey Fidani, drivers of the No. 13 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for 13 Autosport, finished 12th in class. Mason Filippi and Robert Wickens, drivers of the No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for DXDT Racing finished 13th in class. They lost time early in the pits when a throttle-return spring fell off during a stop and had to be repaired. When the car resumed in the race, it was two laps down.

The next IMSA event is the Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix from Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Sunday, August 2. The six-hour race starts at 10:40 am CDT and will be streamed on Peacock and streamed on IMSA’s YouTube page (outside United States). IMSA Radio will stream live audio coverage on XM 206, Channel 996 on the SiriusXM app and IMSA.com.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-QUALIFYING DRIVER QUOTES

ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “It felt like we couldn’t race anyone. If we had track position, we could have probably stayed there. We had a slow stop under yellow, which killed us. We lost three to four seconds and then leaving the box. From being P2 coming in, we left the box last and we lost all of the track position we had in qualifying. I think we had decent pace, but it feels like we cannot really race anyone. It’s difficult to pass. It’s super difficult. It’s impossible to pass. So, it’s difficult to do anything different to go forward. Once we’re stuck to that strategy, everybody kind of ran the same thing, so we couldn’t really do much more, unfortunately.”

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “That was quite a frustrating day to be honest. The Corvette was working well. We had good pace, but everybody was on a fuel save in the first stint, and we couldn’t pass even when pushing. We didn’t have the speed in the right places, but the Corvette was very fast over a lap. Held position nicely in that first stint, and then then unfortunately in that first pit stop, we had a slow rear-left change that cost us track position when the field is so condensed pitting under yellow. And I think unfortunately that also impacted the No. 4 a bit as well. So, once we cycled back because of that with just one more stop to make in the race that was the situation we got stuck with. A shame for the Pratt Miller guys because we put in a lot of effort. The pace we showed in qualifying and in the race deserved better, but that’s where racing goes sometimes. You don’t get the result that you want. Got to take it on the chin and bounce back at Road America.”

Corvettes led race in both classes; Chevrolet leads GTD PRO Manufacturers title

WATKINS GLEN, NY (June 28, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims placed fourth in GTD PRO on Sunday at the end of a wild Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen as Chevrolet retained the Manufacturers Championship lead in the class.

Garcia and Sims started the race eighth but a combination of solid driving and good late pit strategy by the team maximized the No. 3 Corvette’s results as the driving pair moved from fourth to second in the Drivers Championship with five races to go.

The No. 3 duo sit one spot ahead of Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports teammates Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg, who finished eighth in class in the No. 4 Corvette Z06 GT3.R. The two GTD PRO Corvettes ran in the top-five late – and Catsburg led inside the race’s final 90 minutes – but the No. 4 was assessed a drive-through penalty for incident responsibility in the closing minutes.

The result for the No. 3 Corvette allowed Chevrolet to remain out front in the fight for a second straight Manufacturers title in the class.

Corvettes led both the GTD PRO and GTD classes at one point. In the latter, DXDT Racing’s No. 36 Corvette of Charlie Eastwood, Mason Filippi and Salih Yoluc took a late lead on a gamble for a yellow inside the final hour but came up 10 minutes short when Eastwood had to stop for a final splash. The team finished 11th in class in the first race back following a transporter fire that destroyed one of its cars and a majority of the team’s equipment ahead of the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca round.

13 Autosport’s No. 13 Z06 GT3.R of Matt Bell, Orey Fidani and Lars Kern also was on course for a top-five finish before a late-race puncture forced Bell to the pitlane with 45 minutes to go and the Corvette in fourth. Bell recovered from a high-speed spin after contact from another GTD car near the start of his stint following solid runs from both Fidani and Kern with the No. 13 finishing 13th.

The team did, however, regain the lead in the season-long Bob Akin Award standings with an invitation to next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans going to the 2026 champion at the end of the year. Fidani has won it the last two seasons.

DragonSpeed’s No. 81 Corvette suffered significant contact and damage for the third time this season but recovered for a 16th-place GTD finish to gain additional laps and mileage in its first year with the Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Henrik Hedman was hit from behind during an early-race safety car period, but the team was able to repair the Corvette and get it back on track for Casper Stevenson and Giacomo Altoé to finish the race.

The next event for Corvette Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is the Chevrolet Grand Prix from Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on Sunday, July 12.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-RACE DRIVER QUOTES

ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “Fourth at the start of the weekend would have been great. It seemed like we couldn’t really pass anyone so it was down to strategy and track position. I’m glad we made the right decisions and had a chance to fight for a podium so we have to be happy with fourth. It was looking good to be third for a bit, and it’s a shame we lost it at pit out when one of the Fords came out ahead of us. They did a slightly better job than us on that fuel strategy. It’s a shame we couldn’t really change or reverse our track position, so I’m satisfied with fourth.”

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «I’m pretty confident we would have taken that before the start of the race. We obviously want to win every race, and that’s the aim, but sometimes you have to be honest with the situation. It just seemed like others had a bit more pace than us at times today and that made it quite difficult to race. So we had to try and get something done on strategy. Full credit to the team for making it happen toward the end. I don’t honestly know exactly how everything played out in terms of what other people did, but we went aggressive in putting on two new tires to coincide with the fueling time. I don’t think it held us up too much at all. So it was a really nice decision to make so that I had some advantage and to put in some fast laps. Honestly the Corvette felt nice, really well balanced and we optimized it really well. We know how powerful fourth places and better are in the championship runs. So that’s why I’m fairly pleased with today.» 

Sims, Garcia withstand street fight to take first Detroit GTD PRO victory

DETROIT (May 30, 2026) – Chevrolet and Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports won their home race Saturday as Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims claimed the GTD PRO class victory in the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic.

The duo in the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R capitalized on pole position and led 75 of 79 laps for the Corvette Racing program’s first points-paying win in the Motor City since 2007. In addition to the GTD PRO victory, General Motors also won the race overall with the No. 31 Cadillac V-Series.R.

“What a special day for General Motors and the Cadillac Racing and Corvette Racing teams in Detroit,” said Mark Reuss, President, General Motors. “Winning both classes of the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic on the streets of the Motor City is a tremendous achievement for our motorsports, design and engineering teams. Congratulations to Whelen Cadillac and Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports teams on hard-earned victories at our home race.”

The No. 4 Corvette of Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg finished seventh in GTD PRO following a late-race penalty for incident responsibility. The pairing did retain the lead in the class Drivers and Teams championship standings while Chevrolet grew its lead in the Manufacturers standings to more than 100 points.

“Congratulations to Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports on winning the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic in GTD PRO,” said Scott Bell, Vice President, Chevrolet. “This is an extra-special achievement on the streets of the Motor City against a deep field of world-class manufacturers. There is tremendous pride in seeing Corvette take the checkered flag at our home race. It means a lot to celebrate that moment with our GM team members, especially the people who contribute to the Corvette program every day.”

The No. 3 Corvette led in class from the outset Saturday with Sims getting an ideal getaway at the start to pull clear of his three closest pursuers. The pole-sitter built upwards of a three-second lead and ran first in class for the entirety of his 31-minute stint. 

While Sims had a mostly trouble-free run, Garcia caught the worst of the traffic – both the overtaking GTP cars and the tail of the GTD PRO pack – not long after the driver change. He left the pitlane with a nearly five-second lead but it went down to nearly nothing as he attempted to get by the No. 77 Porsche – the last car on the lead lap – for nearly 15 minutes.

Garcia also had to weather two restarts inside the final 20 minutes, one of which resulted in left-side damage when the No. 14 Lexus hit the Corvette during an overtake under yellow immediately after a restart. 

On the other side of the pitbox, Milner ran a little wide at the first corner and fell back to fourth by the end of the first racing lap.

The No. 4 Corvette was the first of the two Z06 GT3.Rs to make its lone stop for fuel only. Catsburg rejoined fifth in class but moved back into podium position with 45 minutes to go. Garcia’s fight with the Porsche brought the No. 4 back into a fight for the lead before the penalty and subsequent drive-through penalty that sent the Corvette down the order.

Corvette Racing’s next event in IMSA is the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen on Sunday, June 28.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R WINNING DRIVER QUOTES

ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “We really wanted this one. We were on pole two years ago, last year we had the pace but we couldn’t manage to go around the Ford. So I’m super happy to be on Victory Lane on Chevrolet land and underneath the RenCen tower. I think all the big bosses will be as happy as we are! Fantastic drive by Alex to put it on pole and opening up a big gap so the driver change was a little less stressful.”

(Late-race battles) “I don’t know if I would have wanted to be in the pits during those laps. In the car it was super-stressful especially with the cars that were fighting for their lives and defending to not go alap down. I knew I had to be a little bit risk-free after the pit stop and deal with the gap that I had. But eventually it got frustrated at times but managed to get around the 77. It was stressful on the restarts. After one of them, there was some oil on the track at Turn Three and it was difficult to be the one leading the pack because I didn’t know what to expect after I went through it before everyone else.”

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “My race was super-easy, to be honest. I was quite nervous before the race, knowing how easy it is to trip up around here in all sorts of situations. The opening stint for me was pretty easy going for me. The Corvette was working so well for us in that first stint. I had one restart to contend with, I think. Everything went pretty smoothly. That was really nice to be able to have some fairly clean laps, a lot of clear laps and build a reasonable lead to come into the pits. 

(On winning in Detroit for GM and the team) “It’s been a really strong weekend for us with Chevrolet and Pratt Miller with our Corvette. It’s a really tough circuit to eke everything out of it. We already arrived with a good package on our Corvette, on the No. 3 car. We had to optimize it a little bit more than the No. 4 car. It’s been working well all weekend. The real difficulty with that situation is that everything is building up so well and you’re at the front of the field the whole time. It almost feels as if you can only lose in the race. It’s huge relief to be able to be able to finish first, and then close it out. Even in the last half an hour, there was so much mayhem going on around the track, it is so easy to be caught out by something. Very, very pleased and proud of the whole team.”

Milner, Catsburg take runner-up in GTD PRO; Chevrolet and No. 4 team take title leads

MONTEREY, Calif. (May 3, 2026) – Nicky Catsburg and Tommy Milner raced from eighth at the start to second in GTD PRO at the end of Sunday’s Monterey SportsCar Championship at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca – a result that proved important for the early-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship standings.

With the second straight podium finish for the No. 4 Corvette Z06 GT3.R, the pairing moved into the lead of the Drivers Championship after three races, as did Chevrolet in the Manufacturers standings. The No. 4 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports team made a strategic call early in the race stand up to move into first in Teams points, as well.

Milner and Catsburg bettered their third-place result from the most recent GTD PRO race at Sebring and finished on the Monterey podium for the second time in three years.

The No. 3 Corvette of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims placed fourth in class and just off the podium after a late-race push for what they were hoping would be their first victory in defense of the 2025 GTD PRO championship.

The two GTD PRO Corvettes went on a split strategy early in the race. Milner, who started eighth, hit the pitlane first just after the 30-minute mark following a couple rounds of contact on the opening laps. Contact came from both GTD PRO and GTD competitors, and the No. 4 Corvette lost pace for a short bit coming down the hill but without lasting impact.

Catsburg went the rest of the way and moved into the race lead just past the one-hour mark as the class leaders went deep into their first fuel stint. The race’s full-course yellow flew 10 minutes later when 13 Autosport’s No. 13 Corvette of Matt Bell and Orey Fidani pulled off-track with a mechanical issue that resulted in the team’s retirement from the race.

The entire GTD PRO field stopped during the safety car period, which shuffled back the No. 4 but elevated the No. 3 and others who needed a shorter fuel stop. Catsburg made his final stop with an hour to go with the team making sure the Corvette could make it to the end of the race.

Sims, who took over Garcia during the No. 3’s first stop, stayed out along with four other GTD PRO cars that tried to save fuel and with hopes for another yellow to allow them to make the end. Sims did gain a position late in the race to move into second before the four lead cars all stopped inside the final five minutes.

Elsewhere in the GTD class, the No. 81 DragonSpeed Corvette of Henrik Hedman and Giacomo Altoé had their best run and result of the season with a 11th-place finish. After suffering contact and incidents in the first three races, the DragonSpeed team finally enjoyed a clean race heading into a long break for the GTD class until June.

The next race in IMSA for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R program is the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic on the streets of Detroit on Saturday, May 30.

ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «It was good execution by both our teams. It’s a shame we didn’t have track position from the start, but it’s nice that we have two cars and could cover both strategy scenarios. On our side, we had to fight all the way through because it wasn’t easy to pass. I’m glad that as a team we came up with the most points we could. No matter the strategy it would have been P2 regardless of which car. Next time I need a better qualifying effort to be in control of the race. Overall we can be happy as a team.»

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «That was really good fun. I think a lot of us were in no-man’s land of trying to work out what to do. It was too much of a save to make the end without a yellow but we needed to save because we committed to the strategy. No one wanted to break away from that strategy first and risk a yellow coming up. We were saving quite a lot while still racing really close with each other. We had decent pace and I was really happy with our Corvette. It was working really well, and I think we did a great job with the strategy that we were on. Full credit to the 4 car for making theirs work pretty darn well. Starting the race fifth and eighth, we would have been very happy to settle with second and fourth. I think both of us might feel a little frustrated that we weren’t first in our respective battles – me with the 77 and Nicky with the 65 – but nevertheless a decent result and the Manufacturers championship lead.»

Methodical march forward for Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports in GTD PRO

SEBRING, Fla. (March 21, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R raced its way to the podium in GTD PRO on Saturday as Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone placed third in class at the end of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.

It was the second podium finish in three races for the No. 4 Corvette trio dating back to last year’s Petit Le Mans to close the 2025 season. They finished just off the podium in this year’s opener at Daytona, and with Saturday’s results are effectively second in the Drivers Championship among all full-season teams. The podium finish was the team’s first in the 12 Hours since winning the 2022 race in GTD PRO.

Catsburg crossed the finish line ahead of Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports teammate Alexander Sims in the No. 3 Z06 GT3.R. He and teammates Antonio Garcia and Marvin Kirchhöfer rebounded from a tough finish at Daytona, and Chevrolet earned second-place points for the Manufacturers’ Championship with the result.

The No. 3 Corvette started the race fifth and the No. 4 was seventh. Despite not being able to match the pace of most of the rest of the GTD PRO teams, the Corvette and Pratt Miller squad instead relied on the trusted formula of strategy and execution in the pitlane to gain a combined five spots at the end.

In GTD, the No. 13 Corvette of 13 Autosport teammates Matt Bell, Orey Fidani and Lars Kern placed sixth in class and claimed the race’s Bob Akin Award as the highest-finishing GTD entry with a Bronze-rated driver. The team marched up the order from 17th at the start to contend for the class podium late before two late full-course yellow periods in the final 90 minutes.

DXDT Racing’s Charlie Eastwood, Mason Filippi and Salih Yoluc placed ninth in class after leading the race for a majority of the race’s middle hours. The  No. 36 Corvette rebounded from a pitlane penalty inside the final four hours to get back into the top-10 by race’s end.

DragonSpeed’s second race with the Corvette came to an unfortunate early end after Henrik Hedman was pushed off track and into the tire barriers by an LMP2 car just shy of the two-hour mark. Instead of folding, the team and the Corvette Racing customer support team worked tirelessly to return the Corvette to the track nearly three hours later so the team could log additional laps and data going into the rest of the season.

The next event for Corvette Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is the Grand Prix of Long Beach on Saturday for GTP and GTD cars only. NBC will broadcast the race live at 4 p.m. ET with a live stream of the race on Peacock. IMSA Radio will provide live audio coverage on XM 206, Channel 996 on the SiriusXM app and IMSA.com.

ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «I think we have to be happy. After how it started with trying to hang on to match everyone out there, I think we carried on well with our car. We were not that far off setup-wise at the end of the race. So P3 and P4 is good for the Corvette team. It’s a shame that we didn’t really have a chance to go for the win. But these are the cases where, as we know from the past, that you take the best you can achieve. If that’s third, then we should take those. And whenever you have a chance to win, that’s the one you need to go for. But today was very good for points and I’m happy with that.»

ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «It felt like we had more pace in our car during the day. Then as the night fell, it felt like the operating window on the 3 car was just really quite narrow. It was very tough to get right consistently lap after lap. So our pace wasn’t so strong, to be honest. But I’m really pleased for the 4 guys. Nicky was absolutely flying out there. They had it hooked up, so I’m pleased for them to get a podium and good team points. Obviously after Daytona, it’s just nice to get good solid points. Well done to the entire team.»

MARVIN KIRCHHÖFER, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: «I think if anyone would have told us before the race that P3 and P4 was going to be our result today, I think we would have all said yep, we would take that. So I’m very pleased with the result and very happy for the team. Scoring a podium is always nice so well done on the podium for the No. 4 car guys. Also a good result for us with P4 and definitely good for the championship run. So I hope the guys will continue in a strong way for the next races coming up. Obviously, we could not quite match the other manufacturers today, so definitely this is a result you will take and be happy with.»

Milestone Sebring Starts for Garcia, Milner

DETROIT (March 16, 2026) – Corvette Racing’s four Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R teams are set for the second and final race of their season-opening Florida swing at America’s oldest sports car race. The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring – the second round of this year’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship – is an event with a huge following for Corvettes… buoyed by a lengthy record of success.

Dating back even before the first season of Corvette Racing in 1999, the program has logged thousands of laps and tens of thousands of miles around the 3.74-mile, 17-turn Sebring circuit. It’s one of the most hallowed circuits in all of global motorsport due to the rough and bumpy nature of the track and a race that runs from daylight into darkness.

Five Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs and seven Corvette Racing factory drivers will take on the challenge at Sebring, which has been the site of 14 class victories for the program – a dozen coming in the 12 Hours.

Each came from the two-car Corvette Racing factory team operated by Pratt Miller. How times have changed with this year’s lineup of Corvettes for Sebring:

· Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports – GTD PRO: Antonio Garcia, Alexander Sims, Marvin Kirchhöfer (No. 3 Corvette); Nicky Catsburg, Tommy Milner, Nico Varrone (No. 4 Corvette)

· 13 Autosport – GTD: Matt Bell, Orey Fidani, Lars Kern (No. 13 Corvette)

· DXDT Racing – GTD: Charlie Eastwood, Mason Filippi, Salih Yoluc (No. 36 Corvette)

· DragonSpeed – GTD: Giacomo Altoé, Henrik Hedman, Casper Stevenson (No. 81 Corvette)

(Factory drivers in bold)The six factory drivers that make up the Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports squad have a phenomenal track record at Sebring with eight combined victories. Antonio Garcia is tied for the most Sebring wins by an active driver (four), and Milner has two of his own. Each will make their 20th starts in the 12 Hours this weekend.

Milestone Sebring Starts for García, Milner

This week’s Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring will see Antonio García and Tommy Miler make their 20th starts in America’s oldest sports car race.

García in the No. 3 Corvette Z06 GT3.R will make his 20th consecutive 12 Hours start, which will tie him for second all-time in race history and one behind his long-time Corvette teammate Jan Magnussen. Of note, his four wins at Sebring are tied for the most by an active driver.

Milner has been a fixture at Sebring since 2006 with victories coming in 2013 and 2016. The only 12 Hours he missed was in 2022 but with good reason – he was part of Corvette Racing’s FIA WEC entry that finished second in 1000 Miles of Sebring on the same weekend as the 12 Hours!

In GTD, 13 Autosport’s Lars Kern was the class winner in 2021. Both the No. 13 Corvette and DXDT Racing’s No. 36 Z06 GT3.R were in contention for the GTD victory a year ago with late-race leads. DragonSpeed, the newest Corvette team in GTD, was on pole last year in GTD PRO.

The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring is set for 10:10 a.m. ET on Saturday, March 21 from Sebring International Raceway. It will stream live on Peacock with television coverage on NBCSN from 5 to 10:30 p.m. IMSA Radio will stream live audio coverage on XM 206, Channel 996 on the SiriusXM app and IMSA.com.

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R DRIVER QUOTES

ANTONIO GARCÍA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “It’s always great to go back to Sebring, especially during race week. It’s a track we use a lot for testing, maybe not as much now as we did back in the day, but I really discovered what Sebring means during the 12 Hours early on in my career. It’s just the atmosphere that feels great all week. When you arrive there Tuesday or Wednesday, you see people who have been lining up there for days and weeks. It’s always great to see how big of an event it is. I just love it there.

“The Corvette fan base is huge and I discovered that right away in 2009 when I first joined the team. I think every Corvette Racing driver – especially coming from Europe – has a shock with how big the support is. You get to see the consistency of that over the years. You knew you were on the best team out there. The main thing is that out of 10 people you would see about half would be in Corvette t-shirts. So you could feel that and that’s a great thing. You get to know the fans over the years and they get to know you a little bit more. That’s a part of the whole weekend.”
