Corvette Sets Six-Driver Factory Roster

DETROIT — The driver lineups for Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports is set for 2026 with a roster of six Corvette factory drivers set to challenge for another GTD PRO title in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and victories in the biggest races of the season.

The core lineup from 2025 remains unchanged for next season. Defending GTD PRO champions Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims will share the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for the full 10-round GTD PRO season while Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg team in the No. 4 Corvette for the second straight season.

The quartet combined for nine podiums during the 2025 season – including second and third at Petit Le Mans – as the Corvette program swept the manufacturers, drivers and teams championships in GTD PRO.

Garcia and Sims won overall at VIR and recorded five additional podiums while Milner and Catsburg were runners-up at both Petit Le Mans and the Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.

“Our 2025 was very good. It is hard to find a lot wrong when we swept the GTD PRO championship,” Garcia said. “But it will be a new season soon and we have several goals as a team. Winning my seventh championship is part of that but we also want to get back to winning the big races now like Daytona and Sebring. Across both lineups we have everything we need.

“The driver groups are strong and the Corvette going into its third year keeps getting better. Alex and I obviously get along great and work very well together. Adding such a strong driver like Marvin makes us that much stronger, and I’m looking forward to having him with us.”

Experience isn’t lacking in the full-season lineup. Not only are all four drivers back for the third consecutive season, 2026 will mark Garcia’s 18th year and Milner’s 16th season as Corvette Racing factory drivers.

For the season’s three biggest races – the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans – Nico Varrone, 2023 FIA WEC GTE Am champion with Corvette Racing, will return to the No. 4 Corvette with Milner and Catsburg. In the No. 3, Marvin Kirchhöfer is joining Garcia and Sims in a Pro-class Corvette for the first time.

Kirchhöfer raced just once in a Corvette Z06 GT3.R last year, but he made it count as part of the winning GTD lineup at the Rolex 24 for Corvette team AWA. He is testing with the Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports team this week.
