Steller Motorsport will become a Corvette customer in 2025, with a pair of Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs set to be delivered to the British GT GT4 Championship-winning team soon.
The team, which spent the 2024 season competing in the Michelin Le Mans Cup with Audi, will take delivery of its new cars ahead of the start of a test programme in January.
The team will reveal its full 2025 racing programme in the near future, but has confirmed 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 Gary Blackham, the team principal of Steller Motorsport.
“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.”
“We look forward to work with Steller Motorsport starting in 2025 as we expand the global programme for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R,” said Jessica Dane, Corvette Z06 GT3.R Programme 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.”
Steller joins TF Sport (FIA WEC), AWA Racing (IMSA) and DXDT Motorsport (GT World Challenge America) as customer teams for the 2024 Corvette alongside the factory-backed IMSA GTD Pro effort run by Pratt Miller.
In its first year of competition, the Corvette Z06 GT3.R netted 11 victories and 12 pole positions with multiple podium finishes in each championship, most recently a double podium for TF Sport in the FIA WEC season finale in Bahrain.
Steller has most recently been campaigning with Audi in GT4 (British GT) and GT3 (British GT and Michelin LM Cup) together with a Duqueine in the LMP3 class of the Michelin LM Cup.
The Steller Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs will be available for inspection by serious interested parties early in the new year.
Pre-season testing opportunities are planned and available.
The team already has some confirmed drivers for these programmes, but is also interested in speaking to suitable drivers interested in taking part in these championships with the GT3 Corvette.
