This April, the Corvette Racing team gears up for a thrilling weekend at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. The third round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship features two Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in action on the iconic 11-turn circuit. Notably, DXDT Racing introduces an innovative Bosch hand-control electronic braking system for driver Robert Wickens, while AWA aims to build on last year's strong performance. With a rich history of victories and a commitment to accessibility in motorsports, Corvette Racing continues to push boundaries. The race airs live on USA Network and streams on Peacock.

Pioneering Technology with DXDT Racing

Innovative engineering meets competitive racing as DXDT Racing unveils its groundbreaking Corvette equipped with Bosch's electronic braking system. This collaboration between Bosch, Chevrolet, Pratt Miller, and DXDT enables Wickens, who lost the use of his lower body in 2018, to compete at the highest level. Veteran Tommy Milner joins him, having tested the unique hand-control system extensively. Their entry highlights Corvette Racing's dedication to inclusivity and technological advancement.

The No. 36 Corvette represents a significant milestone for adaptive sports technology. By integrating advanced electronics into traditional racing mechanics, Corvette Racing demonstrates its leadership in innovation. Wickens' return to competition underscores the team's ability to adapt and excel under challenging circumstances. Both drivers bring extensive experience to the table, ensuring a formidable presence on the track. With eight previous victories at Long Beach, Corvette Racing has set high expectations for this event, where precision and teamwork will be paramount.

AWA's Quest for Consistency and Success

Reigning Rolex 24 At Daytona GTD champions AWA enter the Long Beach Grand Prix with optimism after finishing sixth in last year's event. Drivers Matt Bell and Orey Fidani aim to replicate their strong start from earlier races, leveraging the momentum that propelled them to the Bob Akin Award. As part of Chevrolet's ongoing commitment to excellence, AWA exemplifies how consistent performance can translate into broader opportunities, such as invitations to prestigious international events like Le Mans.

Bell and Fidani's partnership showcases the importance of synergy in endurance racing. Their ability to navigate the unforgiving streets of Long Beach reflects not only individual skill but also cohesive teamwork. Last season's achievements highlight the value of perseverance and strategic planning. As they prepare for another intense sprint race, AWA remains focused on maintaining its position among the top contenders in the championship standings. With Chevrolet's unwavering support, the team is poised to deliver another impressive performance at one of motorsport's most celebrated venues.
