Frech GT racing stalwarts will race 2 Corvette C6.Rs in 2008. Their plans include the full season of the LMS and 2 entries into the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Both of their cars will be 2008 spec, and they'll be receiving plenty of support from the factory, including factory drivers when available. Their 2008 season will kick off with a private test at Sebring with both of their cars during GM's private test at Sebring a few days before the official IMSA Sebring Wheels Down Winter Test (Corvette Racing traditionally never comes to the official test, they do everything on their own).
Now the big question is will Alphand run his cars in this year's 12 Hours of Sebring? He's going to fly his 1 current C6.R to the States and take delivery of his 2nd car (a 2007 ex-works car), so while they've incurred the huge expense of coming all the way here, they might as well stay for the race! I'd guess it's unlikely to happen, but it's possible.
