Chevrolet Corvette C6.R — Pratt & Miller, Laguna Seca, 2008 ALMS

Jan Magnussen/Johnny O'Connell | Spark Models base

 

Notes: Rumors of the end of the GT1 racer from Pratt & Miller were already starting by the time this new livery raced at the end of 2008. This one isn't as noteworthy as the two 2007 BBV versions that ran at Laguna Seca. But it was new and different, so you know what that means. Another decal project.

This one was easier to build. With some reference help from John, all of the decals could be drawn. From there, it was the usual drawing, sizing, and testing. The building would be easiest yet of any of my projects. Purchase a Spark Models, apply fingernail to their decals and scrape. Then apply mine. Done. Well, that kind of simplifies the process. Hours were still spent drawing and refining, testing with printouts, and making it all work. This set was printed on the white decal paper. But no taking anything apart this time, and no painting. The original Spark Models Le Mans version is also pictured here. This livery would continue with some detail changes for the last few races in 2009 before the GT2 car would appear at Mid Ohio with a new look.
