NCM’s Driving School Takes to the Track

The first NCM sponsored High Performance Driving School was held this past weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina. 

This exciting NCM sponsored performance school offered approximately 60 students the experience of two unforgettable days in the classroom and on the track learning how to properly handle a Corvette. “ This event adds another dimension to the Corvette Experience”, commented one of the performance school students. “I am grateful to the Museum for making it happen. My personal instructor was a lot younger than I am, but was a skilled driver and an attentive teacher.  I look forward to the next opportunity to be a part of this again.” Over 30 instructors were part of the courses that offered a “one-on-one” opportunity to students. Planning is already underway for additional performance school opportunities in 2006 – stay tuned to NCM eNews for more updates.

Corvette Racing Review
New Cars, New Champions and New Competition Highlight Corvette Racing's Fifth Championship Season


Corvette Racing dominated the American Le Mans Series for the fifth straight year in 2005, but it wasn't easy. The introduction of the new Corvette C6.R race cars, the emergence of powerful new rivals, and the impact of new rules shaped the season for Chevrolet's two-car factory team.

The yellow Corvettes raced to 10 victories in 11 starts, including the team's fourth win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Chevrolet won the ALMS GT1 manufacturers championship for the fifth consecutive year, and Corvette Racing swept the drivers, team and pit crew championships. Corvette Racing's accomplishments extend beyond the race track.

The success of Chevy's work team reflects the technical and human resources of General Motors, the world's largest automaker. The racing program is an integral part of GM's strategy to use motor sports to develop technology, people and processes that benefit customers. "Corvette is a performance icon that competes successfully against international competition on the track and in the marketplace," said Corvette marketing manager Karen Rafferty. "Corvette is synonymous with passion, and the brand is enthusiastically supported by owners, race fans and Chevrolet dealers." Corvette Racing's championship-winning C6.Rs will be replaced by two new cars for the 2006 campaign that begins at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring on March 18. The team's to-do list for next season includes continued refinement of the underbody aerodynamics and engine specifications as permitted by the series regulations.
