Corvette announce revised line-up

Corvette Racing have announced their revised driver line-up for the 2007 season, when they will try to defend the drivers', team and manufacturers' championships

The team have retained the same drivers they used in 2006, but they will form different pairings.

Johnny O'Connell and Jan Magnussen will drive the No. 3 C6.R in all the ALMS events, and they will be joined by Ron Fellows for the three endurance races at Sebring, Le Mans and Petit Le Mans.

Defending GT1 champions Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta will drive the No. 4 car, teamed with Max Papis in the three endurance events.

"The changes in our driver line-up will give us two strong and balanced entries that will both be racing for victories," said Steve Wesoloski, GM Road Racing Group manager. "We are very excited that Ron Fellows will be taking on new roles and responsibilities with GM Racing.

"We'll continue to benefit from Ron's vast racing experience as he drives the No. 3 Corvette C6.R in endurance races while he begins a new phase in his career as an ambassador for Corvette and a valued advisor to GM Racing."

The revised driver line-up will make its debut in the season-opening round, the 12 Hours of Sebring, on March 17.
