CORVETTE RACING AT SEBRING:
Second Straight Win for Corvette C7.R to
Start 2016
SEBRING, Fla. (March 19, 2016) – Corvette Racing’s
Triple Crown streak continued Saturday with a 10th class
victory in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled
by Fresh from Florida. Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and
Marcel Fässler in the No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R
won their second straight race to open the International
Motor Sports Association (IMSA) season to go along
with a victory in the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
It is the second straight victory at Sebring for Corvette
Racing and the third in four years. Milner drove the final
two hours and 50 minutes to win by 2.882 seconds. The
team has won the last five of the world’s top endurance
races – Daytona and Sebring in 2015 and 2016, plus the
24 Hours of Le Mans in 2015.
“Great driving, teamwork and execution in the pits were
keys to today’s GTLM class victory for the No. 4
Corvette C7.R team in the 12 Hours of Sebring,” said
Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. Vice President,
Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “To come from
two laps down and win in a field as competitive as the
IMSA GTLM class is a true reflection of the never-giveup attitude of the Corvette Racing team.
Campbell added, “This win is special because it Corvette
Racing’s second consecutive win at Sebring and follows
win at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. The IMSA season
is off to an exciting start.”
Milner drove the first two hours, 50 minutes in Corvette
Racing’s No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R and was third at
the time of a red flag for lightning and track conditions.
Milner had led the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class midway
through the opening quarter thanks to a strong first pit
stop by the Corvette Racing crew and being able to take
on wet tires 90 minutes into the race just before the pit
entry closed due to a crash on track.
Fässler got in the No. 4 Corvette not long after the twohour, 15-minute stoppage and drove in some of the most
challenging conditions. He switched from slick to wet
and back to slick Michelin tires during his stint as the
track surface and weather changed throughout with his
pace improving as his stint wore on. Gavin then took
over on a dry track with less than five hours to go. He
drove two-plus hours and got the Corvette back on the
GTLM lead lap before Milner drove to the end.
The No. 3 Corvette C7.R of Antonio Garcia, Jan
Magnussen and Mike Rockenfeller also was a contender
for a repeat victory at Sebring before the car suffered
heavy damage when another GTLM competitor hit
Magnussen at the entry to Turn One, which sent both
cars hard into the outside tire barrier. Magnussen, part of
the GTLM-winning effort with Garcia a year ago, had
just taken the lead in class with less than a little less than
five hours remaining in the race.
Magnussen was evaluated and released from the Sebring
infield care center, but the car suffered significant
damage to the driver’s side and rear internal
components. The No. 3 Corvette Racing crew worked
feverishly to repair the car, and it returned to the race
less than 45 minutes after it arrived in the team’s
paddock.
Despite the setback, the No. 3 Corvette completed
enough laps for ninth-place points.
