8 C6R's live in this world. Chassis #’s 003, 005, 006 were for sale at 2007 year-end.
The “Corvette-athon” sales event is over, the deals are done, the lot is bare, and the FIA-GT series will look a lot more Corvette-y in 2008!
* Phoenix Racing / Team Holland bought #005 to add to their Spa-winning #001 C6R. BTW- at year end, remember they ran an Aston as a 2nd car…..1 less AM on the grid, now!
* Luc Alphand bought #003 to match up with #004. The new car will remain the Valeo-sponsored C6R, with the 2 Ollies appearing from time to time to wring it out. No, this is not a factory-effort, but LA is a long-time good friend of Corvette Racing.
* SRT Belgium sold their C5R to make room for the purchase of #006 C6R.
PSI still owns and will race #002. PK Carsport took the Saleen money and traded their C5R for the ‘factory support’ for 2008. In total, 11 Corvettes in Europe- 6 C6R, 5 C5R.
Chassis #007 and #008 are brand new and will be raced by P&M in 2008.
When you purchase a P&M C6R, you get-
* A complete, fully freshened car [Engine included. Tech updates, upon request and $$].
* Technical instructions for maintenance and operation.
* Race and qualifying setup data.
* Access to Euro-based P&M and Katech engineers.
The cars are put on a pallet, sent air-freight, and delivered ready to go.
Every team is treated equally, every customer is #1.

lol...interesting that it mentioned LAA with 003. They bought 006 (the 2007 gavin car). They also tested with the factory at Sebring to my knowledge. Also where did you get the info about SRT and Phoenix? some of that is up in the air for the moment... can someone at BBV email me at raceguy08@gmail.com? I would like more information.

Just curious, besides the Aston for 2008 does anyone know of other teams that have committed to 1 or 2 races this season? Will Doran bring back the MC12 for a few??

highly unlikely any other GT1 teams will race the full 2008 season in ALMS due to $$$$
