Chevrolet Corvette C6.R

Period GT1 Corvette: front-engined, powerful, and less modern than a current GT3. Period aero and tyres put braking zones and exit patience at the centre of the lap.

Slow it while you can still see the apex, rotate once, then feed the V8 carefully. Period cars punish overlap.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Pushes on entry

Mass and a front engine. Excess entry speed shows immediately.

Snaps on exit

NA torque is progressive, but the rear is still period rubber. Build with the wheel.

Falls off over the stint

Period tyre life. Tidy early laps preserve the stint.
