Corvette announces unchanged 2018 IMSA line-up
Corvette Racing has confirmed an unchanged core line-up for its IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship title defense next season.
Reigning GTLM class champions Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen will continue in the #3 Corvette C7.R, while Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner will again team up in the sister #4 machine.
It marks the seventh season in a row that the quartet will have raced with Corvette in IMSA.
The American marque claimed four GTLM wins in 2017, with Garcia and Magnussen taking honours in the Sebring 12 Hours along with Audi DTM driver Mike Rockenfeller.
Another member of the Audi stable, Marcel Fassler, joined Gavin and Milner for the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Sebring and Petit Le Mans.
“Consistency amongst the team and its drivers has been key to the success of our program for the last 20 years,” said Chevrolet director of motorsports competition Mark Kent.
“Having Antonio, Jan, Oliver and Tommy returning for the 2018 season will definitely increase the likelihood of continued success for Corvette Racing.”
UPDATE: Corvette has now confirmed Fassler and Rockenfeller will return for Daytona, Sebring and Petit Le Mans in 2018.
