In its 19-plus years of competition, Corvette Racing has racked up more victories than any team in IMSA history. Those 98 victories have come on some of America’s classic road courses with 11 at the famed Sebring International Raceway. That’s where Corvette Racing returns for the 20th time in search of a fourth consecutive victory in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.

This year’s running will be 20th straight appearance at Sebring for Corvette Racing – an odyssey that covers more than 11,000 laps and 40,000 miles and three generations of Corvette race cars. The team will add to that total when it fields its two Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs in the 66th annual running of America’s oldest sports car race. The 12 Hours is the second race of the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It also is the 200th event all-time for Corvette Racing.
