<strong>Transmission:</strong>6 speed sequential <strong>Brakes: AP Racing</strong> 0 <strong>Weight:</strong> – <strong>Fuel Tank:</strong> – <strong>Year introduced:</strong> 2014<br /> Corvette’s marketing people claim that the C7 represents the closest link in modern times between Corvettes built for racing and the road, sharing unprecedented levels of engineering and components including chassis architecture, engine technologies and aerodynamic strategies.  “When it comes to endurance racing, Corvette has been the benchmark of success for nearly 15 years,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “A great deal of the team’s success can be attributed to the symbiotic relationship between Corvette Racing and the production vehicles. The 2015 Corvette Z06 and new C7.R will be more competitive on the street and track due to successful design of the Corvette Stingray – which itself is heavily based on the C6.R race car.<br />  <div class="ngg-galleryoverview ngg-ajax-pagination-none" id="ngg-gallery-05d4a888f1cf679e46a49db962d05f29-1"> <div class="slideshowlink"> <a href='https://www.racecar-engineering.com/cars/corvette-c7-r/nggallery/slideshow'>[Show as slideshow]</a> </div>  <div id="ngg-image-0" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" > <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/zupcorv.jpg" title="(L to R) The all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 and 2014 Corvette C7.R race car were co-developed, and represent the closest link in modern times between Corvettes built for racing and the road, sharing unprecedented levels of engineering and components including chassis architecture, engine technologies, and aerodynamic strategies." data-src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/zupcorv.jpg" data-thumbnail="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/thumbs/thumbs_zupcorv.jpg" data-image-id="1406" data-title="(L to R) The all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 and 2014 Corvette C7.R race car" data-description="(L to R) The all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 and 2014 Corvette C7.R race car were co-developed, and represent the closest link in modern times between Corvettes built for racing and the road, sharing unprecedented levels of engineering and components including chassis architecture, engine technologies, and aerodynamic strategies." data-image-slug="zupcorv-2" class="ngg-fancybox" rel="05d4a888f1cf679e46a49db962d05f29"> <img title="(L to R) The all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 and 2014 Corvette C7.R race car" alt="(L to R) The all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 and 2014 Corvette C7.R race car" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/thumbs/thumbs_zupcorv.jpg" width="100" height="75" style="max-width:100%;" /> </a> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-1" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" > <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/zupcorva.jpg" title="Corvette Racing C7.R Test; Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida; December 9-10, 2013 (Richard Prince/Corvette Racing Photo)" data-src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/zupcorva.jpg" data-thumbnail="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/thumbs/thumbs_zupcorva.jpg" data-image-id="1407" data-title="2014 Corvette C7.R race car Sebring Test" data-description="Corvette Racing C7.R Test; Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida; December 9-10, 2013 (Richard Prince/Corvette Racing Photo)" data-image-slug="zupcorva" class="ngg-fancybox" rel="05d4a888f1cf679e46a49db962d05f29"> <img title="2014 Corvette C7.R race car Sebring Test" alt="2014 Corvette C7.R race car Sebring Test" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/thumbs/thumbs_zupcorva.jpg" width="100" height="75" style="max-width:100%;" /> </a> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-2" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" > <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/corvette-c7-r_1/zupcorvb.jpg" title="The new Corvette C7.R, which was codeveloped with the 2015 Corvette Z06, will compete in GT Le Mans class of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.

As a result, the new Corvette Z06 is the most track-capable production Corvette ever while the new C7.R is poised to be even more competitive on the race circuit.”<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorv.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-530495" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorv.jpg" alt="Corvette C7.R" width="640" height="415" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorv.jpg 640w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorv-300x195.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorv-100x65.jpg 100w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorv-551x357.jpg 551w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br /> Many of the architectural and aerodynamic features of the C7.R are based on equivalent components and technologies from the 2015 Corvette Z06, including:  New, aluminum frame . As before, the race car and the Z06 will share the same, production-based aluminum frame. However, for the first time, the frames for the race car and production Z06 will be built in-house at the Corvette’s Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant.<br /> By using advanced manufacturing techniques – such as laser welding, Flowdrill-machined fasteners and a GM-patented aluminum spot-welding process – the production structure is significantly stronger than its predecessor.<br /> <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oGiKHLNNBCE" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br /> For Corvette Racing, this equates to a race chassis for the C7.R that is 40 percent stronger than the outgoing C6.R.  “In the first lap in the C7.R, the drivers felt the increase in chassis stiffness,” said Mark Kent, director of Racing for Chevrolet.</p> <p>The addition of direct fuel injection to the Corvette Z06 will enable the technology to return to a Corvette race car for the first time since the end of the GT1 era in 2009. It promises greater efficiency, which can make a significant difference in long-distance endurance racing such as Daytona and Le Mans through fewer time-consuming pit stops.  “Direct injection offers two advantages for the race team,” said Kent. “First, it offers drivers more precise throttle control, so that even the smallest changes in the driver’s throttle position delivers a proportional response from the engine. Second, direct injection typically improves fuel economy about 3 percent. That could be enough to bypass one fuel stop during a 24-hour race. Given that races are often won and lost in the pits, a 3 percent gain in fuel economy could translate to a significant advantage in track position.”<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-530496" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb.jpg" alt="Corvette C7.R" width="640" height="425" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb.jpg 640w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb-632x420.jpg 632w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb-100x65.jpg 100w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvb-538x357.jpg 538w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br /> The aerodynamic strategies of the Corvette Stingray came directly from the Corvette C6.R – including the forward-tilted radiator, functional hood and front-quarter panel vents, and rear transmission and differential cooling intakes.  The Z06 and C7.R take that aerodynamic foundation to the next level, sharing aggressive strategies for increased cooling and aerodynamic downforce, including similar front splitters, rocker panels, and front- and rear-brake cooling ducts.  “We worked concurrently with the race team developing the aerodynamic packages for the Z06 and the C7.R,” said Juechter. “We even used the same modeling software to test both cars, enabling us to share data and wind-tunnel test results. As a result, the aerodynamics of the production Z06 produce the most downforce of any production car GM has ever tested, and we are closing in on the aero performance of a dedicated race car.”</p> <p>There are, of course, differences between the race car and production Corvette Z06. For example, the C7.R carries over the powertrain for the C6.R, as the GT rules limit the maximum displacement to 5.5L, and prohibit forced induction. By comparison, the new Z06 boasts a supercharged 6.2L engine estimated at 625 horsepower. Both engines, however, are based on the historic small block architecture.</p> <p>The suspension on the C7.R is modified to accommodate wider racing tires and larger brakes, again part of the GT regulations.<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvgy.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-530500" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvgy.jpg" alt="Corvette C7.R" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvgy.jpg 640w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvgy-630x420.jpg 630w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvgy-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorvgy-535x357.jpg 535w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br /> On the aerodynamic side, one major difference is the shift away from U.S. National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA, ducts on the C7.R. The C6.R used two NACA ducts, on top of the rear bodywork and near the position of the rear wheels, for cooling. For the new C7.R, there are now openings on each of the rear quarter panels, above the brake ducts, which will draw air to help cool the race car’s</p> <p>Additionally, one of the primary results of the C7.R’s aero detail is making the rear wing a more-significant part of the car’s aero package.</p> <p>A larger radiator inlet has the added benefit of generating smoother airflow over the rear wing and making its use more efficient to the handling and stability of the race car at high speed.</p> <p><strong>LE MANS TEST</strong><br /> Shortly before the official pre Le Mans test day the Corvette C7.R had to undergo its official ACO/FIA homologation to allow it to compete in the 24 Hours, a round of the FIA WEC. All car types taking part in the race additionally had to do a special BoP test at the Ladoux test track in France.<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-532555" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve1.jpg" alt="Corvette C7.R" width="640" height="289" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve1.jpg 640w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve1-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br /> Despite this the C7.R’s arrived in Europe largely in the TUSCC specification including the leader light system used there.<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-532556" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11.jpg" alt="Corvette C7.R" width="640" height="457" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11.jpg 640w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11-100x70.jpg 100w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11-588x420.jpg 588w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve11-500x357.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br /> As with previous Le Mans specification Corvettes the cars were both fitted with a yaw sensor, casting a light onto the track through a hole in the diffuser.<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-532557" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2.jpg" alt="Corvette C7.R" width="640" height="450" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2.jpg 640w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2-100x70.jpg 100w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2-597x420.jpg 597w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2-300x211.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upcorve2-508x357.jpg 508w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br /> A look at the highly advanced cockpit of the C7.R shows three Bosch digital displays including the read facing camera screen complete with its computer game style readouts.

There was little fanfare surrounding the arrival of a new ‘yellow tractor’ in the GTE/GTLM category and while the changes between 2015 and 2016 seemed modest at first glance they were more serious than many perhaps realise. In 2016 the ACO/FIA has introduced new rules for the GTE (Pro) class which will eventually be utilised in all GTE classes globally. Initially the new rules are limited to GTLM in IMSA racing and the GTE pro class in the WEC including Le Mans. </p> <p>The aim of the new rules is to enhance the performance of top-level GT cars while making them safer. </p> <p>Most notable in the updated racing Corvette is an FIA-mandated roof hatch that allows safety workers to insert an extraction device into the cockpit in order to secure a driver’s head, neck and spine in the event of an injury. An improved racing seat also includes more pronounced side restraints and meets higher structural performance requirements.<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette2.jpg" alt="Corvette C7R" width="700" height="372" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-537799" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette2.jpg 700w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette2-696x370.jpg 696w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette2-300x159.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette2-672x357.jpg 672w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a><br /> The new rules allow for a significant increase in aerodynamic performance for the 2016-spec Corvette C7.R. A new, larger splitter with a stepped turning vane as a dive plane (above) is part of the package. Compare with the 2016 spec used in GTE-Am (below).<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette4.jpg" alt="Corvette C7R" width="700" height="380" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-537802" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette4.jpg 700w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette4-696x378.jpg 696w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette4-300x163.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette4-658x357.jpg 658w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a><br /> At Le Mans a lower drag version of the front bodywork was used with the dive planes removed (below)<br /> <a href="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3.jpg" alt="Corvette C7R" width="700" height="496" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-537801" srcset="https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3.jpg 700w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3-100x70.jpg 100w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3-696x493.jpg 696w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3-593x420.jpg 593w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3-300x213.jpg 300w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3-504x357.jpg 504w, https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/upvette3-682x483.jpg 682w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a><br /> A much larger diffuser with tunnels underneath creates more downforce while improving efficiency.
