4LT GS Roadster
The international Le Mans Series is starting a new class for lesser-modded GT cars. Those cars will be similar to Porsche, Ferrari and Lotus racecars of the manufacturers' cup series. Who's missing? A little number called Corvette.
Why the Corvetteless field? Simple. There's no single-make Corvette challenge series from which to draw on. And for America's Sports Car™? That's flat-out wrong.
There was once a Corvette-only series, held during the car's post-1984 comeback years. The SCCA Corvette Challenge ran for two seasons, 1988 and 1989. The SCCA formed it after having banned Corvettes from its showroom stock GT races. The Corvettes had gone unbeaten for three years and the competition, comprising Nissan 300 ZX and Porsche 944 turbos, was seriously pissed.
