Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports confirms a two-car GTD Pro entry for the 2027 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, retaining its driver pairings to pursue another class title.

Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg stay in the #4, with Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims continuing in the #3. The program prioritizes continuity after a competitive 2026 campaign.

Team manager Ben Bode points to stability and incremental gains with the Corvette platform, including ongoing development of the Z06 GT3.R, as central to 2027 momentum.

The target is clear: win GTD Pro again. The team leans on a proven structure, refined operations, and driver familiarity to convert pace into a sustained title push across the season.

Experience underpins that approach. Garcia enters a 19th Corvette season, Milner a 17th. Sims returned in 2024 after a 2023 IMSA GTP title. Catsburg stepped up to full-time IMSA after 2023 WEC and Le Mans successes.

Chevrolet’s broader form remains strong. It secured a second straight GTD Pro manufacturer crown at Motul Petit Le Mans, marking 16 GT class titles since 1999 and six IMSA GT championships since 2014.

That 2026 outcome, clinched at Road Atlanta, reinforces the program’s baseline competitiveness despite setbacks. The manufacturer title underlines consistent scoring from both cars.

There were missed opportunities. The #4 arrived at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in title contention but fell to third overall after a late incident derailed a season-long charge.

Milner remains upbeat. He highlights the program’s repeatable speed, operational sharpness, and the value of having both entries regularly in the fight for wins and heavy points.

The #3 endured uneven fortune yet still won in Detroit. That balance of performance peaks and operational resilience gives Corvette a platform to refine details without overhauling its approach.

Rivalry will intensify. Expectations include renewed pressure from factory-aligned efforts such as Ford’s GTD Pro program and ambitious privateers, keeping margins tight across traffic, cautions, and strategy windows.

The calendar’s growth also matters. More events broaden operational demands, testing reliability, pit execution, and adaptability around the expanding schedule and known street-course risk factors.

With continuity, a competitive Z06 GT3.R, and hard-earned experience, Corvette Racing enters 2027 positioned to contend. Execution across fine margins will define whether consistency converts to silverware.
