AWA receives first customer Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs

AWA has taken delivery of the two Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs with which it will contest the GTD class in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The delivery marks a major milestone for GM and Corvette, the delivery of the first customer cars in the new GT3 program.

“Delivering the first two customer Z06 GT3.Rs to AWA marks the start of the next phase of our Corvette customer support program,” said Christie Bagne, Corvette Z06 GT3.R Program Manager. “A big thank you to our constructor Pratt Miller, our GM Performance and Racing team and everyone at the GM Assembly Plant in Bowling Green. We look forward to the continued collaboration with AWA ahead of their preseason test program and on toward the Rolex 24.”

Canadian team AWA was announced earlier this year as the first customer Corvette program in IMSA GTD. Orey Fidani and Matt Bell will be the full-season drivers in the No. 13, while Anthony Mantella and Nico Varrone will pilot the No. 17. Lars Kern and Thomas Merrill will be the endurance additions, respectively.
