The Corvette C8.R was the first to break with all traditions of previous Corvette design. A perfect mid-engine sports car was intended to conqu"&"er the GTE world. For the sake of better weight distribution, Corvette abandoned the design of over 50 years, the Corvette C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7, all with front engines. As a prototype, without the yellow paint, the C8.R car resembled a Ferrari m"&"ore than any tradition of its predecessors. Slowed down by COVID-19 in 2020, the racer from Detroit didn't make its Le Mans debut until 2021. In qualifying, the number 64 car impressed with an extremely fast 3:47:093 minutes, just behind the second-placed"&" AF Corse Ferrari with a 3:47:063 minutes, and the outstandingly fast Hub Auto Racing Porsche GTE, which clocked a 3:46:88 in the second qualifying session and thus secured the first place on the grid. In the 24-hour race, however, it was the #63 car that"&" impressed. They finished the race on the same lap time, just behind the #51 AF Corse Ferrari, and finished second for a successful debut at the Sarthe.
