2010 Corvette C6.R ZR1 GT2 Roaring Again! 5.5L V8 Warm Up, Accelerations & OnBoard!

During last year's Mugello Classic by @peterautoracing I was struck by the presence of this Chevrolet Corvette C6.R ZR1 race car fielded in the Endurance Racing Legends championship and in no time I tried to do my best to produce a dedicated video of this iconic machine. Unfortunately I was not satisfied with the clips brought home and I preferred to put them aside to be used in the future. Luckily this year things went better.
The car is chassis C6RGT-001 and its the first Corvette built for the, at that time, new GT2 category which would have been introduced starting from 2010. The new ruleset required a major use of production-based components compared to the GT1-class in which Corvette Racing was already racing the C6.R. Following this 'connection' between the track and road production, the new GT2 car took body styling cues from the then new Corvette ZR1 street car.
The car was introduced and developed in the final five rounds of the 2009 American Le Mans Series, fitted with a newly designed 6.0L, 470 hp V8, which was based on the 7.0L LS7.R from the GT1 car (which produced 590 bhp). As part of the GT regulations for 2010, the engine would be downsized to 5.5-liter to comply with the new engine displacement limits.
Chassis 001 is the same car of the famous final lap at Laguna Seca in 2009, ended with the accident between Jan Magnussen and Joerg Bergmeister's Porsche just on the finish line. It was repaired ahead of the 2010 season and fielded in the whole 2010 American Le Mans Series and the 24h of Le Mans. In 2011 it was sold to Larbre Competition and fielded in the Le Mans Series such as in many other endurance races of 2012. In 2011 the car finished first in its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Recently the car has been restored to its 2010 Corvette Racing livery and its managed by the kind guys of Foxcraft Racing who, together with the drivers John Emberson and Nigel Greensall, deserve special thanks for allowing me to put a GoPro inside the car!
Hope you like it!

Amazing engine sound! This is a classic American muscle car!

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

Late-GT2/Early GTE cars are probably my favorite production-based race cars, aesthetically. They're wider, lower, and have enough aero to look the part, but they aren't as garish and extreme as later GTEs and GT3s have since become. No colossal diffuser literally hanging off the back of the car by a thread, etc. Oh yeah, and as cool as it initially was seeing GM toss a Ferrari motor in the back of the new ZO6, I'm over this flat plane crank stuff now. Bring. Back. The. Thunder.
