Motor city madness is back, and this time, it’s electrifying! Corvette Racing is revving up for their inaugural run on the downtown Detroit streets, and it's about to get wild. The new Z06 GT3.R faces off at the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic, where just 1.654 miles and nine sharp turns make up the shortest circuit of the 2024 calendar. This urban track promises tight battles given the limited passing zones, making qualifying essential for a front-row start in the 11-car GTD-Pro field.

After a hiatus from Detroit, where Corvettes last danced on the Belle Isle circuit, drivers are now getting reacquainted with the city's gridded streets. Thanks to advanced simulators, they’re honing their strategies, although early reports hint at bumpy conditions and hairpin turns demanding cautious navigation at snail-like speeds. There's no underestimating the challenge this track presents!

Leading the pack is none other than the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, adeptly attired in its stylish Indy 500 Pace Car livery—albeit with a tweak in the door graphics courtesy of the IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix that rolls out on Sunday. Team Chevy is generously offering enthusiasts a taste of the action with an exhilarating hot lap around the Detroit street course in this stunning pace car.

As excitement crescendos, clear your schedules for 3:10 PM ET, when the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic roars to life. Tune in on the USA Network or stream it live on Peacock to catch every breathtaking overture. Feel the thunder of Detroit's rebirth as America's beloved sports car charges aim to leave an indelible impression on their home turf.
