Corvette Competition Cup
2009
A new racing
category for Corvettes will be included in the 2009 BFGoodrich Long
Distance Championship. The Corvettes will race at the Nurburgring in a
category called the Corvette Competition Cup. The Cup will feature 2009
Corvette C6 and they will join other competitors at the Nurburgring
racetrack.
The specially designed Corvettes for this series will be named Corvette
Competition R. Their 6.2 L LS3 V8 engines provide a maximum of
500hp/368Kw and max. 600 Nm of torque. The North loop (Nordschleife)
combined with the Grand Prix track will host this Cup series on ten
Saturdays. Nine 4-hour races and one 6-hour race will be included in the
2009 schedule.
Each Corvette will be equipped with a sequential racing gearbox and a
system that allows full throttle shifts. This system will allow drivers
to change gears at full throttle without causing engine damage. They
will be equipped with a custom racing exhaust system so drivers and
racing fans can hear the distinctive Corvette V8 sound. Additional
enhancements include a motorsport specific aerodynamic package with
fixed adjustable front splitter and rear wing. These Corvette sporting
attributes will pay tribute to the brands racing heritage. The Corvette
Competition Cup will be a cost-effective racing alternative in the Gran
Turismo category. The Corvette Competition R offers lots of racing fun
that includes reliable and proven racing technology components.
Every Corvette Competition R will be double rated: Each race will
include a ranking in the Competition Cup Class B and a ranking in the
class SP8 in the BFGoodrich Long Distance Championship. Each Corvette
will be allowed a maximum of 3 drivers per event. The class will be
rated under the point system of the VLN organization. The participants
will not only participate in a series of exciting races, but they will
also be eligible for a number of attractive prizes after their
performance is evaluated at the end of the season.
A Corvette Competition Cup hospitality center for all events will serve
as a meeting place and information point for each participant and it
will provide food and drinks.
