Kuismanen/Menten/Palttala drove one chassis in 2006 during the Donnington LMS race under #70. Which one is that?

I think that is 002. It is the PSI Experience car.

Most likely C5R #012, GM's initial test chassis that had a C5-R platform underneath and C6.R bodywork on top.

1. C5R-012 was renamed C6R-012: 2. Additional C6.R show cars have been built using early C-6 (non-racing) test cars: More HERE. PLEASE, anyone who gets near a C6.R show car, shoot any identifying numbers that you see. The Pratt and Miller C5R-012/C6R-012 numbers require opening the drivers door. Do NOT try this without permission! The "EX" number is near the base of the left side windshield wiper. Please shoot and share!! |

I know there was a C6.R on display at the Indianapolis 500 near the museum, and as far as I remember it had the VIN number on the windshield. Not sure if it is the one you pictured. I didn't get any chance to look for a chassis plate though.

The chance to see a GT1 car is much higher at the Cologne Motorsport Expo than at the Essen Motorshow. The Essen Motorshow is nearly a complete fast and furious show and not a show like it was when it was calles Jochen-Rindt-Show ;-(

I have just added a very well illustrated article about the C6.R on Ultimatecarpage.com:

It was just confirmed to me by a Pratt & Miller insider that C6R-007 and C6R-008 will indeed be the cars they run on 2008.

We know that there are 8 C6Rs! So who is going to race them this year (2008)? C6R #7 & #8, likely Corvette Racing Team Cars for the year. C6R #1 - Carsport Holland/Phoenix: for FIA GT, #2 - PSI: FIA GT or LMS or not raced? #3 was Corvette Racing back-up last year and #4 was LAA car in LMS. That leaves #5 & #6. Will one go to LAA for LMS in 2008? Anyone hear any rumors?
