The American Le Mans series kicks off in a few days with the 12 Hours of Sebring race. We can hardly wait as our favorite team, Corvette Racing, gets ready to hand those uppity European marques their collective butts. They are the team to watch, and everybody knows it. So as they ramp up and race day gets ever closer, the guys at Pratt & Miller decided to release a little preview video so the other teams know what they are up against.
This video from Corvette Racing is actually the first in a series that will catalog the entire 2010 season.
The video has dramatic music, fast-forwarded work footage, and short interviews with some men at the top. Interviewed in the video are Mark Kent, manager of GM Racing, and Gary Pratt, chief engineer and co-founder of Pratt & Miller. The video offers some insight as to why the Corvette Racing guys think they are so dominant. Essentially, they believe they have the best production car to begin with - and we agree.
Corvette Racing’s success has not only led to increased sales, but actually influences how street-going Corvettes are designed and built. These guys are setting the bar very high for themselves in 2010, calling it a “watershed year”. As with any great champion, they are dedicated, and we know we are in store for one hell of a season. The ALMS season starts in just a few days, will Corvette Racing live up to the hype?
