Callaway to build FIA GT3 Corvettes

Callaway Competition to Develop, Homologate New Corvette C7 Race Car.

Callaway Competition GmbH, Leingarten Germany, will embark on a development program for making the new Corvette C7 into a GT3-class race car and submit for homologation from the FIA.

Specialists, like Callaway, require authorization from original equipment manufacturers, like Chevrolet, to submit the homologation forms necessary to allow their version of the car to be the version allowed in FIA competition. As Callaway has just received the required letter of authorization from Chevrolet, Callaway has become the appointed specialist representative for building and holding the homologation of the Corvette C7 FIA GT3 race cars.

Callaway has also been the homologation holder for the Corvette C6 version of the GT3 car with the FIA. The Callaway team is currently one of the most successful in GT3, with numerous Drivers and Team Championships from 2007 to present.

Hard to believe that just 6-7 years ago, GT3 was supposed to be for mildly upgraded Carrera Cup cars at around £120,000 a pop As far as sportscar boom and bust cycles, GT3 has got to be one of my favoruite booms

Loved the old C6 GT3 before it got annihilated by BoP. This new one looks absolutely mental. Love it! GT3 still keeps on getting stronger - new Viper, new Bentley (which is an absolute tank, but more the merrier, eh?), is there anyone left still to jump on board the Geeeeteeeeethreeee train?
