History: the corvette never raced, the car has been completed for free practice in track days. The cas was also completed for achieving the dream we got when discovering the chevy GT1 at race of Limerock Park in 1998, then Homelink Rocketsport Corvette GT1 driven by Paul Gentillozi in 2000. The project to own and drive such a dreaming racing corvette was in my head. My crasy father was ready to follow me in this incredible challenge and learning journey.
