Café Conversations (GT7)[]
Jeremy[]
You ever heard of the German ADAC GT Masters? It's a race where each car has a pair of drivers, one amateur and one pro. For the 2016 ADAC Masters, Chevrolet entered a Corvette C7 FIA-GT3. The following year, they claimed both driver and team championships. This is a car that an amateur can handle, but which can also withstand any punishment a pro can throw at it. Yep, in terms of performance, this Corvette C7 Gr.3 is quite something.
