Memories from Corvette's two decades at Le Mans

Corvette Racing announced yesterday that its streak of 20 consecutive appearances at the Le Mans 24 Hours would finally be broken this year amid the fallout of the coronavirus. Ahead of its 20th appearance in the race last year, Autosport spoke to those involved in the programme about their favourite memories

The news yesterday that Corvette Racing would not be participating in the rescheduled 2020 edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours in September was a significant one for sportscar racing.
