22-year-old Nicolas Varrone will join Nicky Catsburg and Ben Keating in Corvette's factory WEC entry in 2023. Full story:
Varrone joins Corvette’s line-up following a successful appearance in the post-season rookie test in Bahrain, where he was pitted against Zimbabwean driver Axcil Jefferies, and a private run at Sebring in December.
“To be paired with two legendary drivers like Ben and Nicky also is very special. I have to say a big thank to you to Jeroen Bleekmolen for recommending me. He is close to both Ben and Nicky so it’s quite a nice feeling. I can’t wait for us to start with this program.”Corvette will move to the GTE Am category in 2023 following the discontinuation of the all-pro GT class in the WEC, extending the life cycle of the Corvette C8.R - in its full GTE/GTLM avatar - by another year.
