Well maybe not a Sheep, as every Corvette is made ready to race, but very few Corvettes get to stretch their legs on a race track, let alone Le Mans or Daytona.

Well, just this week the new 2019 Corvette ZR1 knocked the GT off the podium with a time of 2.37.25 while performing routine validation testing, not as an attempt to set a new
