Car designers are employed to wear expensive blazers over turtleneck jumpers, rock trainers that increase their height by a good six inches, and draw cars that provoke slobbering desire at twenty paces. Racing drivers are employed to complain about tyres, thank the team, the fans and everyone back at the factory for a great weekend, and deploy superhuman levels of skill and bravery behind the wheel of very fast cars. These are jobs that probably shouldn"t be mixed up. Corvette didn"t get that memo, so here"s the 2019 Corvette Drivers Series: a quartet of four special edition C7 Vettes celebrating Corvette Racing winning 99 IMSA races since 1999. If it"d taken a class win at the Daytona 24 Hours this weekend, that"d have been a nice round 100 wins, but alas, the century isn"t in the bag, yet.
