Steller Switches to Corvette; Targets ELMS, GTWC Europe

Steller Motorsport has announced plans to switch to running the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in 2025 with ambitions to compete in the European Le Mans Series and Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS.

The British squad, located not far from Silverstone Circuit, previously ran Audi machinery in both the British GT Championship as well as the Michelin Le Mans Cup.

It is due to take delivery of a pair of Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs ahead of a planned testing program in January, with the team stating that it “is currently eyeing potential efforts in ELMS, Michelin Le Mans Cup, GT World Challenge and British GT with a yet-to-be-confirmed group of drivers.”

“We looked long and hard at the available options in GT3 before opting to join the Corvette family,” said team principal Gary Blackham.

“The Z06 GT3.R is a stunning car, beautifully engineered and designed from the off as a true endurance racer.

“The team, and our customers that have seen the car already, are truly excited by the prospect of racing with one of the most successful brands in sportscar racing.”

With its switch, Steller becomes the second British outfit to campaign Corvette’s GT3 challenger, joining TF Sport.

TF is widely expected to continue its two-car FIA World Endurance Championship effort next season, while Corvette is represented in the U.S. by the likes of Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports, DXDT Racing and AWA.

“We look forward to working with Steller Motorsport starting in 2025 as we expand the global programme for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R,” said Jess Dane, Corvette Z06 GT3.R Program Manager.

“The team has experienced success in various GT4 championships in Europe, and we are happy that Steller Motorsport has chosen the Corvette GT3 as it progresses up the GT ladder of racing throughout Europe.”
