While we mucked around with perhaps one of the most innovative and daring racing prototypes last week, we'll be going back to old school FR with V8 power in a road car this week; the last of the FR Corvettes, actually. Chosen by
@05XR8 , we're featuring the
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C7) '19!

Somewhat fittingly, the last time we at COTW featured the C7 was seven years ago, when
GTS COTW featured the C7 Stingray, Gr.4, AND the Gr.3 racecars all in the same week! Now that
we've sampled the C8 Corvette, let's see how prudent and justified that switch to rear mid–engine was...
Oh, and here's a bit of a PSA: bring extra changes of adult diapers, and keep TCS on in your ZR1!
~Single–Player Challenge!~
A simple Time Trial this week with a point to prove. Let's see how close the ultimate production FR Corvette can get to its utterly bonkers brother. This being a video game, where crashing is rather inconsequential, might just prove enough to close the gap...
Rules:
- Course: Nordschleife
- Stock Corvette C7 ZR1 (SM Tyres).
- Tyre Wear & Fuel Con: 1x
- Grip Loss on Track Edge: Real
- Course Cutting Penalty: Weak
Of course, fastest time wins!
