Team and Drivers Championships come in the program's second year in WEC and with two races still left on 2023 schedule.
Corvette Racing's No. 33 Corvette C8.R entry in the FIA World Endurance Championship's GTE Am class raced to a fourth-place finish in the Six Hours of Monza, but it was more than good enough to clinch both the Drivers and Teams Championships. Nicky Catsburg, Ben Keating and Nico Varrone won drivers' honors in what was the Corvette Racing program’s first championship in the WEC.
The overall win at Monza went to Toyota Gazoo Racing and the team of drivers Mike Conway, Jose Maria Lopez and Kamui Kobayashi. It was the team's second win of the 2023 World Endurance Championship season//As for Corvette Racing, the win at Monza followed class wins earlier this season at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 1000 Miles of Sebring and Six Hours of Portimao in Portugal. Corvette Racing clinched the championship after just five rounds of the seven-round season.
"How cool is this? The Corvette Racing team joined the WEC full-time last year to learn the championship and had some great successes," said Laura Wontrol Klauser, GM Sports Car Racing program manager. "This group couldn't say no. Now to be able to walk away champions and win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the final year of GTE and the C8.R is a dream come true."
