There'll be dozens of cars competing in the 24 Hours
of Le Mans this summer, racing in and out of the night around the clock. So how
do you make one Corvette in the lowest racing class stand out among the
competition?
Larbre Competition intends to stand apart from the
speeding crowd with this special C7.R art car, decked out in a special
glow-in-the-dark livery.
Revealed at the Circuit de la Sarthe during this
past weekend's official test session, the #50 Corvette features a
graffiti-style paintjob designed by street artist Ramzi Adek. The finished
product looks unique, to say the least, and is strikingly different from the
usual yellow paint these competition Corvettes usually wear.
Christian Philippon, Romain Brandela, and Fernando
Rees will share driving duties in the LMGTE Am category in the race that's set
to kick off less than two weeks from now. If precedent is anything to go by,
they stand a decent chance of winning, too. The French team has taken numerous
class victories at Le Mans and in other sports racing series, most recently in
2012 with a class win in the previous Corvette C6.R. However it performs,
though, it surely won't go by unnoticed.
