R3E Chevrolet Greenwood Corvette previews

In the beginning of March, Sector3 allready showed us the first teaser screen of the upcoming Chevrolet Greenwood Corvette that will become part of the GR5 class in RaceRoom Racing Experience.

Today the development team officially revealed the car and published a nice set of in-game shots showing us the Corvette in action at the Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. The car is wearing the famous “Spirit of Sebring” livery.

  

  

In 1974, race car constructor Greenwood introduced the wide body racing cars. One of the most noticeable was the IMSA spec Corvette, also referred to as the “Batmobile” . John Greenwood had used the development Corvette to introduce the wide body design, the Kinsler cross-ram Lucas fuel injection system, Bob Riley coil-over suspension, and many other minor inventions.

This car had previously run in various colors, but the most original livery was the ‘Spirit of Sebring’ car that raced at Daytona and Sebring.  Later in the 1975 season, it was also raced twice by Trans-Am racer Rudy Braun and John Greenwood in the #75 “Old Blue” livery.

The Greenwood Chevy Corvette Wide Body was powered by a naturally aspirated 7.654 liter Chevrolet / Greenwood ZL1 90º V8 that delivered 700 bhp / 522 KW @ 6800 rpm.
