Chevy's Corvette is one of the world's most recognized sports cars. Since its introduction, Corvettes have been favorites for fans and drivers in a wide variety of racing disciplines, including GT racing, Trans-Am, and drag racing. In six decades of on-track battles, Corvettes have defeated some of the the biggest names in the sports car world-Ferrari, Porsche, Cobra-at storied road courses like Le Mans, Daytona, the Nurburgring, and Sebring. Beginning in 1956 with the Real McCoy, a Zora Arkus-Duntov special raced at Sebring, this book draws on the history of factory and private racing efforts, chronicling the history of the various Vettes that have turned a wheel in anger. Automotive writer and renowned artist David Kimble delves deep into the Vette's on-track history to provide a thorough Corvette racing history. Corvette Racing is illustrated with rare images from GM's media and design archives and complemented by Kimble's own stunning cutaway artwork. For Corvette and racing fans, this book is the definitive word on Corvette's nearly 60 years of competition.
