Unusual. While the public is used to admiring yellow Corvettes, this year, at Le Mans, one of the American cars will sport a red livery. This original design was conceived by AWA Racing, who entered a Z06 with the number #13.<\/p>\n
The livery is a proud tribute to the team’s Canadian heritage, as the group prepares to tackle the world’s most iconic endurance race after winning the Bob Akin Award in the IMSA Championship in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u00ab It’s more than just a race for us, it’s an opportunity to represent our country in front of the entire world \u00bb, said Orey Fidani, driver of the Corvette Orlando Corporation #13. \u00ab Wearing the colors of Canada at Le Mans is an incredible honor, and we will do everything to make our fellow citizens proud of us. There’s nothing like seeing that maple leaf blazing down the Mulsanne Straight at over 300 km\/h. \u00bb<\/p>\n
For this 24-hour event, the Canadian will be accompanied by Lars Kern and Matt Bell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
