Two wins in two weekends! The team at DXDT Racing followed up their season opening win at COTA with another win in the second round of the 2025 GT World Challenge America series, at Sebring International Raceway, with the Chevrolet Corvette GT3.R.
The pair of Blake McDonald and Matt Bell qualified their No.11 Corvette on the pole for Saturday's Pro-Am grid, and they never looked back, driving straight to the checkered flag, earning the second GT World Challenge America victory of 2025 for the DXDT team, the Corvette GT3.R platform, and the Forgeline one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels. They returned on Sunday for yet another podium finish, when they finished third in the Pro-Am field.
DXDT Racing's Saturday victory is already their second win in 2025 (having also won the season opener at Circuit of the Americas) and marks the fifth win for the Corvette GT3.R already in the 2025 season, making a strong follow-up to AWA Racing's GTD class victory, at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, TF Sport's WEC LMGT3 victory, at Qatar in February, Johor Racing's wining home track debut in GT World Challenge Asia, in Sepang, Malaysia in April, and DXDT's own season opening performance at COTA in April.
Based upon the Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 and sharing the road car’s aluminum chassis, the Corvette GT3.R is powered by a version of the Z06’s 5.5L DOHC LT6 V8 engine mated to a 6-speed sequential transmission. It rides on a motorsports-specific double-wishbone suspension system and a motorsports-specific 6-piston front/4-piston rear AP Racing braking system with unique cooling and quick-change capabilities. Pratt Miller worked with the team at Forgeline Motorsports for several years to develop an application-specific version of Forgeline’s center-locking one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheel that was engineered to deliver optimized performance metrics (in terms of mass, deflection, strength, and durability) specifically for the new Corvette GT3.R, and every Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 GT3.R competes on 18×12.5/18×13 Forgeline one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels finished in Gloss Black.
Congrats to Blake, Matt, the entire DXDT Racing team, and Team Chevy, and thank you for the trust that you place in Forgeline!
