Thread: Corvette Racing najavljuje 2011 upravljačkom postavkom

Corvette Racing will have two new drivers for the 2011 American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans: Tommy Milner (above left) and Richard Westbrook. Milner, who was with the Rahal Letterman BMW team will join Olivier Beretta in the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6. R for the full season (with Antonio Garcia continuing as third driver in the Sebring, Le Mans, and Petit Le Mans endurance utrke). Richard Westbrook, the 2009 FIA GT2 champion, will be teamed with Jan Magnussen and Oliver Gavin in the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6. R in the three long-distance events.

For the record, Milner and Westbrook will become the 21st and 22nd drivers to race with Corvette Racing since the momčadi debut in 1999. Both have pogon the Corvette C6. Rs in private tests, and will participate in the FINALU Winter Test in Sebring, Fla. , on February 9-10, in preparation for the season-opening Mobil 1 Dvanaest Hours of Sebring.

When you look at sports car racing over the last 10 years, the biggest name in GT racing has to be Corvette, Milner said. Im looking forward to working with the engineers, the crew, and the other drivers to make Corvette the powerhouse in endurance racing.

Adds Westbrook: Ive raced against the Corvette enough times to know its better to be driving one than racing against one.
