The New England Grand Prix from historic Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut will run today beginning at 3 PM (ET).

Live flag-to-flag coverage will be provided by the SPEED Channel. This is the first time the American Le Mans Series has raced at Lime Rock. The race is a timed event of 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Both C5-R’s will be competing as part of the 27 car field on the 1.54 mile track. “Being only a mile and a half around, and having fast corners as it does, Lime Rock is going to provide lots of action”, said Ron Fellows. “It’s got long, fast corners and the uphill portion is very exciting. But I think the most fun ride at Lime Rock is the downhill, exiting turn six and then you come smoking down the hill under the bridge, then that right turn. It’s going to be spectacular for us in the Corvette”.

Ron Fellows and Johnny O’Connell are seeking their second consecutive GTS class driving title in the ALMS. Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta will be driving the second C5-R.

Please mark your calendars and/or set your recorders for Corvette Racing today at 3 PM Eastern Time.

All Things Grow With Love!
