Chevrolet has unveiled its all-new Corvette C8.R racer, which will be eligible to participate in the GTLM class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the GTE class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

This year’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship begins at the weekend with the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The event will see the début of the BMW M8 GTE, run by BMW Team RLL.

Thanks to a predominantly white colour scheme, the latest BMW Art Car appears more subdued than most of its predecessors.

This weekend's motorsport highlight is the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The event, which is the first round of the 2016 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, will see BMW's new M6 make its competition debut in both the GTLM and GTD classes.

Next season, the Tudor United SportsCar Championship is going to be renamed the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, following a change in title sponsor.
