| Corvette Z06 GT3.R teams looking for additional successes at VIR DETROIT (August 20, 2025) – Corvette Racing’s four Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R teams get the chance to take center stage this weekend during the only GT-only weekend for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. |
| The Michelin GT Challenge at VIR – Virginia International Raceway – comes at a pivotal time of the season for the Corvette Racing program. With cars in both GT classes – GTD PRO and GTD – there is plenty to think about ahead of the year’s final IMSA sprint race. That’s especially true in GTD PRO as Chevrolet leads the Manufacturers Championship standings with three rounds to go. The program is in a good spot in the Drivers and Teams title races, as well, with the two Corvette GTD squads having plenty to race for in their class. | Corvette Racing Media Resources Documents | Statistics | Photos | Factory Driver Bios | Chevrolet Newsroom |
| Corvette Racing has been a force at VIR over the years. The program has eight victories there – six in IMSA by the Corvette Racing factory team and two more in GT World Challenge America competition by DXDT Racing. Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports (GTD PRO)· No. 3 Corvette Z06 GT3.R: Antonio Garcia/Alexander Sims· No. 4 Corvette Z06 GT3.R: Tommy Milner/Nicky CatsburgWith three rounds to go, Garcia and Sims continue to lead the GTD PRO Drivers Championship, as does the No. 3 Pratt Miller squad in the Teams standings. Both the No. 3 and No. 4 Corvettes have come on strong the last three races with racing luck going against each entry. The pair of Pratt Miller Z06 GT3.Rs led early at Road America before being spun less than a minute apart while running up front. Despite that heartbreak, the potential for a breakthrough GTD PRO victory has been evident throughout the year with five podiums between the two entries. A trip to VIR could be just what the doctor ordered. Corvette Racing’s factory team – run by Pratt Miller – claimed six victories at VIR since 2012. Garcia was part of four of those wins and Milner has two in Corvette Racing entries… plus a pair a year ago in GT World Challenge America competition. AWA (GTD)· No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R: Matt Bell, Orey FidaniBell and Fidani hope to improve on last year’s sixth-place class finish VIR in AWA’s No. 13 Corvette. At Road America three weeks ago, the duo was in contention late but suffered significant contact that prevented a challenge for the team’s second win of the season. The goal for VIR is for Fidani and Bell – a past prototype winner at VIR – to continue running toward the front in hopes of not just a podium finish but also another win in the chase for a repeat IMSA Akin Award. The AWA Corvette was the highest finishing GTD entry with a Bronze-rated driver at Road America, and another similar result will go a long way toward Fidani repeating at Akin Award winner and AWA returning next year to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. DXDT Racing (GTD)· No. 36 Corvette Z06 GT3.R: Alec Udell, Robert WickensDXDT’s No. 36 Corvette has been knocking on the door of a podium finish all season. Wickens and Udell led late at Road America before multiple rounds of contact knocked the Corvette from the lead in the final minutes. Qualifying up front has been the norm for the DXDT Corvette with second-row starts in the last four races. Wickens has placed second and third the last two years at VIR in the Michelin Pilot Challenge’s TCR class. Meanwhile, Udell is a two-time winner at VIR in the Corvette Z06 GT3.R as he was Milner’s teammate in last year’s sweep in GT World Challenge America’s Pro class in a DXDT Corvette. The Michelin GT Challenge at VIR is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 24. The race will air live on USA Network starting at 2 p.m. Live streaming on Peacock in the United States and IMSA.comoutside the U.S. from 2 to 5 p.m. ET IMSA Radio will provide the audio call at IMSA.com, XM 206 and SiriusXM Online 996. |
