GM has published photos with their new 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype which was unveiled at the Daytona International Speedway circuit today in Florida.
This new prototype will have its racing debut on January 26-29, 2012 at the GRAND-AM Road Racing Series Rolex 24 at Daytona, and unfortunately right now there are no technical features we can discuss due to the fact that GM decided to keep things secret a little longer.
Mark Kent, Racing director at GM sais that "The 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype was developed by a multi-faceted
effort involving Chevrolet, Corvette Designers, Pratt & Miller and
GRAND-AM. Chevrolet also worked closely with chassis builders Riley,
Coyote and Dallara. The IMSA GTP
Corvette Prototype campaigned by Hendrick Motorsports in the ’80s was
the inspiration for this new Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype. And,
like the GTP Corvettes, the new Corvette Daytona Prototype contains
numerous styling cues from the street version of the Chevrolet Corvette."
There will be a total of four teams campaigning the 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype next year, and these are the No. 90
Spirit of Daytona Racing, No. 10 SunTrust Racing, No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob
Stallings Racing, and the Nos. 5 and 9 Action Express Racing teams.
