Corvette Daytona Prototype

The Corvette Daytona Prototype is a prototype racing car that began competing in the Rolex series in North America in 2012. It marked Chevrolet's return to Daytona racing as a full constructor and not only as an engine supplier, after General Motors had earlier raced in the series under the Pontiac brand and shelved that program when Pontiac was discontinued for the 2010 season. The car raced in Grand-Am competition in 2012 and 2013 as a Daytona Prototype and then continued in the P class of the IMSA Tudor SportsCar Championship, now the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. For IMSA it gained carbon brakes and clutch, a large rear diffuser and a dual element rear wing, and for 2015 a Corvette C7 style grille and lights. Its 5.5 litre engine was a port injected, LS based GM small-block built by ECR Engines.
