Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports will have an unchanged full season driver lineup in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next year, with Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims returning to the No. 3 entry and Nicky Catsburg and Tommy Milner back in the No. 4 car.

Both entries will again compete in the GTD Pro class, on the heels of Chevrolet winning its second consecutive manufacturers’ title, which marked the 16th GT class manufacturer title since the Corvette Racing program began in 1999.

“We are proud of all the accomplishments our teams have achieved since the start of Corvette Racing,” said team manager Ben Bode. “That history is built on a combination of great people and great Corvettes.

“To be able to continue that with the same core group of full-season drivers gives us a lot of excitement and obviously confidence for 2027.

“Winning GTD Pro championships each year is always at the top of our list of goals. With the returning team we have next year and the strength of the Corvette, there’s no reason we can’t achieve that again.”

Garcia will mark his 19th year with the team, and Milner his 17th, heading into the 2027 season that will feature the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R Evo.

Sims is in his second stint as a Corvette factory driver, having rejoined the program in 2024 after winning the GTP title in the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R in 2023.

Catsburg, meanwhile, stepped up from an endurance-only role from 2020 through 2022 in IMSA, raced as part of the program’s FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023 and again with customer outfit TF Sport this year, while prioritizing his WeatherTech Championship campaign this year as part of the dual program.
