Corvette Racing Takes Victory at Imola!


Corvette Racing roared to a milestone win in the 2025 European Le Mans Series, claiming its first victory of the season at the legendary Imola Circuit in Italy!

Piloting the No. 82 Corvette Z06 GT3.R, the TF Sport team—Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade, and Hiroshi Koizumi—delivered a commanding performance in a challenging, rain-soaked four-hour sprint. The Corvette crossed the line with a dominant 7.4-second margin, leading 63 laps in total.

Koizumi kicked off the charge with a heroic drive from the back of the pack to P2. Andrade kept the pressure on up front, and Eastwood sealed the win with a flawless final stint.

“This is a landmark victory for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R and TF Sport,” said Jessica Dane, Corvette Racing Program Manager. “The drivers and team delivered under pressure and changing weather. Congratulations to all on a well-earned win.”

A red flag from heavy rain slowed the action mid-race, but nothing could stop the Corvette momentum. With flawless strategy, clean driving, and relentless execution, Corvette Racing is officially back on top in Europe!

Barry’s Corvettes

I had owned a 1972 Nova for over 25 years, but it didn’t have air conditioning. So driving in the summer was not ideal. So I sold it and a couple months later I found a 1991 yellow coupe. It was my 1st time ever in a Vette and I was hooked. Had it for about 4 years and in 2007 found a silver 1998 convertible that only had 25,000 miles on it. Traded the 91 in for the 98 and couldn’t believe the smoother ride. Drove the 98 for 4 years and a had to sell so I could get a vehicle to drive back and forth to work. Iowa winters are not for driving Vettes in. I vowed that I would have another C5. Then in 2019 I retired and found a 2000 yellow convertible and was in heaven again. I moved to the Kansas City area so winter driving is possible and I do get it out often. This one is a keeper, although I really like the C7s, so, who knows!
