Corvette Team wins three of the most prestigious races in sportscar racing:
the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans

Dateline 12.9.15: Corvette Racing may have missed out on the IMSA GTLM championship in 2015, however the team still has lots to be proud of after winning three of the most prestigious races in sportscar racing: the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans. While the official ‘Triple Crown’ of motorsport is rightfully the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix, Corvette Racing captured their own make-do Triple Crown with their three endurance wins.

The No. 3 car of Jan Magnussen, Antonio Garcia and Ryan Briscoe claimed victory at both Daytona and Sebring, while the No. 64 car of Jordan Taylor, Tommy Milner and Antonio Garcia won at Le Mans. The No. 63 car of Magnussen and friends may have taken victory at Le Mans instead, however the car was sidelined after a mechanical failure caused the Dane to crash into the wall at speed.

The boys will be back next January to defend their Daytona title and this time will have to fend off not only Porsche, Ferrari and BMW but also Ford and their new GT racecar. In the meantime, recap Corvette Racing’s 2015 Triple Crown in the video below.
