+ New Z06 GT3.R heading to Europe
Corvette could return to British GT in 2025 after Steller Motorsport confirmed the purchase of two new Z06 GT3.Rs.
The long-time Audi squad won the British GT4 title in 2022 with Richard Williams and Sennan Fielding and ran the same R8 this year.
However, next season will look very different for the Silverstone-based team, which is set to receive two of the Pratt Miller Motorsports-built, 5.5-litre V8-powered
cars in January ahead of an extensive testing programme.
A team statement confirmed that Steller ‘will reveal its full 2025 racing programme in the near future, but is currently eyeing potential efforts in ELMS, Le Mans Cup, GT World Challenge and British GT with a yet-to-be-confirmed group of drivers.’
Team principal Gary Blackham added: “We looked long and hard at the available options in GT3 before opting to join the Corvette family.
“The Z06 GT3.R is a stunning car, beautifully engineered and designed from the off as a true endurance racer. The team, and our customers that have seen the car already, are truly excited by the prospect of racing with one of the most successful brands in sportscar racing.
“A Corvette hasn’t raced in British GT for more than 10 years. But the Z06 has already achieved much success in America and I truly believe it can shake up the established order in the UK. It’s a championship we are keen to be part of subject to the right driver combination.”
The entry process for 2025’s British GT Championship opens on December 2.
