$198,000 Grant Awarded To the NCM for Educational Enhancements

The Corvette Museum was awarded a $198,000 transportation enhancement grant today by Kentucky Governor, Ernie Fletcher for an educational exhibit at the Museum. The upcoming project includes two educational driving simulators with a realistic steering wheel, dashboard and 3-panel screen that will simulate driving a car.

These automotive programs will allow a driver to experience the consequences, including vibration feedback, of his/her behavior under a variety of conditions.  One of the programs will simulate the effects of dropping off the shoulder of the road and over correcting (loss of control), and will allow guests to practice controlling the vehicle as they bring it back on to the road. Other programs might include driving while intoxicated, understanding braking distances, and reacting to imminent collisions. "We value the Corvette Museum and want it means to Kentucky," stated Governor Fletcher. "It is truly a showcase to showcase America's Sports Car."

NCM Executive Director, Wendell Strode shared that with over 140,000 in annual attendance, the NCM is confident that a program that emphasizes and demonstrates the importance of responsible and safe automobile handling will have a measurable impact on everyone that visits. Look for more details coming on this new exhibit.

O'Connell and Magnussen Win GT1 in Mosport ALMS

The last time that Johnny O'Connell and Jan Magnussen stood together in the Mosport International Raceway winner's circle was in 1999 after the pair won the LMP1 class in a Panoz prototype.

The Corvette Racing teammates reprised that winning performance in the Grand Prix of Mosport to take the GT1 title with a 57-second margin of victory over Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta in the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R. Fan favorite Ron Fellows and Andy Pilgrim finished third in their bright white No. 33 Compuware Corvette.
