Introduction
The Grand Sport Track day in Texas is a great opportunity for locals to come and experience world-class racing. This event is happening on December 6th, at the Texas Motor Speedway. Experience the rush of wheel-to-wheel racing action with some of the best drivers in the world.
What is a Grand Sport?
The Grand Sport is Corvette Racing’s latest evolution of the world’s most successful production-based sports car race car. It is a purpose-built race car designed to compete in international GT3 racing. The Grand Sport name was first used on a special lightweight 1960 Corvette developed for racing. Today, the new Grand Sport returns to its roots as an unparalleled track machine that pushes the limits of performance.
The all-new 2017 Corvette Grand Sport is the most track-capable Corvette ever, blending Z06 power with a lighter weight Stingray body. As a result, it delivers 0-60 mph performance of 3.6 seconds and 1.2 g in cornering capability – and up to 1.05 g with optional Z07 Performance Package – making it the fastest street-legal Corvette ever produced.
The heart of any sports car is its engine, and at the center of every Grand Sport is Chevrolet’s legendary small block V8 – now in its seventh generation as an LT1. For Grand Sport duty, the engine has been upgraded with a dry sump oil system, active valve exhaust and Brembo brakes – similar to what’s found on the Z06. When paired with available Z07 Performance Package and Magnetic Ride Control, it makes for one truly incredible track machine.’
What is a Track Day?
A track day is an event where enthusiasts can take their cars or motorcycles out on a racing circuit to enjoy the thrill of speed and competition in a safe and controlled environment. Many track days also offer the opportunity to receive professional instruction from racing drivers or riders.
While there are some similarities between track days and actual races, track days are not races. The focus of a track day is on fun and learning, not competition. Most track days follow a format that includes a few hours of practice in the morning, followed by more practice and then some time for qualifying races in the afternoon. There is usually an awards ceremony at the end of the day to hand out trophies to the winners.
Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a complete novice, there’s a track day out there that’s perfect for you. And with so many events taking place all over the country, there’s sure to be one happening soon near you.
