In its first two seasons of IMSA action, the mid-engined C8.Rs scored 14 wins and 17 pole positions in the GT Le Mans category. However, when IMSA replaced GTLM with GTD Pro for 2022, Corvette Racing was forced to downgrade the car to GT3 spec, and the success rate dropped considerably.
Employing a split strategy – one car in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTD Pro class, one in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s GTE Pro class – Corvette landed just two wins, one on each side of the Atlantic. Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor ultimately finished third in the IMSA championship with 12 Hours of Sebring victory and four other podium finishes.
