Debut of Chevy Corvette C8.R on IRacing
The Chevy Corvette has been in the news for its new mid-engine that offers even more performance and capability than ever. The mid-engine Corvette is a great option for those looking to enjoy the road, but Chevy also has a racing model of the Corvette known as the C8.R. Find out more about the C8.R, and how you can race it on iRacing below.
The new and improved mid-engine Corvette is home to a 6.2-liter V8 that is known to produce 495-horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. However, when you are talking about racing, that is not the Corvette you are talking about. The Corvette C8.R was built for racing, and it is home to a different engine that offers you maximum power and performance for the track.
The Corvette C8.R is home to a 5.5-liter V8 engine that gives you 500-horsepower. This engine features dry sump lubrication and direct injection. It also features a Xtrac six-speed sequential racing gearbox.
As you can see, the Corvette C8.R is an impressive vehicle, and now, you can race with it from your own home with iRacing. iRacing is a leading sim racing game for your computer. It offers some of the best and most realistic online racing, and the Corvette C8.R is one of the available models.
“We’re excited to continue our long-standing relationship with Chevrolet as we welcome the Corvette C8.R to iRacing,” said Steve Myers, iRacing executive vice president and executive producer. “The C8.R has already proven to be incredibly popular in the real world, and our users have been requesting it ever since it made its public debut last year. We’d like to thank General Motors, Pratt & Miller and Corvette Racing for their support in bringing the C8.R to the virtual world, and we look forward to iRacers getting their hands on it for the first time this week!”
