'It's in the back of my mind, that this is the last shot at GTE...' Le Mans is always a big weekend for a Corvette driver, but this one feels even bigger, says Nicky Catsburg.
The American brand last secured a class success at La Sarthe in 2015, despite coming close in several editions since then - including having two cars in GTE Pro victory contention last year before neither ultimately finished.
Now, with the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R GTE's final appearance in the enduro coming with a sole GTE Am entry this weekend, Catsburg says there is a strong focus on returning to winning ways ahead of the introduction of the LMGT3 class for 2024. "We had high expectations the last two years and I guess the expectations are even higher this year," he told Autosport.Asked if there was added pressure to secure the spoils this year, Catsburg said:"I would say so. It's in the back of my mind, that this is the last shot at GTE.#33 Corvette Racing Chevrolet Corvette C8.
