Corvette Racing is an American auto racing team established in 1999 by General Motors and Pratt Miller for the purposes of competing in sports car racing internationally. Corvette Racing was originally the official racing program for General Motors and their Chevrolet Corvette production car until the end of the LM GTE class in 2023, having utilized four generations of the Corvette to develop racing cars, although racing programs involving the Corvette have been endorsed by General Motors to varying degrees since 1956. The team is known for its yellow livery and several class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Man.
Corvette Racing closed out its direct factory operation at the end of 2023, as General Motors will solely focus on customer teams with the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R . Beginning in 2024, Pratt Miller will continue the racing team under the name Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports for the IMSA SportsCar Championship , and TF Sport will be supported by Corvette Racing for the FIA World Endurance Championship , both with limited GM factory support.
Corvette Racing has had multiple successes across multiple championships, including one championship in the FIA World Endurance Championship , five championships in the IMSA SportsCar Championship , and ten championships in the American Le Mans Series , as well as nine victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans , four victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona , and 12 victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring .
