Corvette glory! The team at Johor Racing followed up their season opening win at Sepang, Malaysia with another win in the 2025 GT World Challenge Asia series, at Chang International Circuit in Thailand, with the No.99 Chevrolet Corvette GT3.R.
The pair of Ben Green and Prince Jefri Ibrahim started their weekend with a podium finish on Saturday, after moving up through the field from their sixth place qualifying position to a second place finish. That was a great start, but they had even more in store for the weekend, since they had qualified the No.99 Corvette on the pole position for Sunday's race, where they drove virtually unchallenged to the checkered flag and earned their second GT World Challenge Asia victory of 2025 for the Johor Racing team, the Corvette GT3.R platform, and the Forgeline one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels.
Johor Racing's Sunday victory is already their second win in 2025 (having also won the season opener in Sepang, Malaysia) and marks the sixth 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 Racing's victories at both COTA and Sebring.
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 Prince Jefri, Ben, the entire Johor Racing team, and Team Chevy, and thank you for the trust that you place in Forgeline!
