The blue Corvette is definitely a Z06. It's strange they brought a 2013 1LE when the 2014-5 has better aero, and why bring a 2 year old car?

Great find. Is that the first time we've ever seen the 2016 Camaro in motion? Listen to those up shifts on that blue C7 Z06! That 8L90 automatic transmission means business.

Any idea on what happened? Looks like he hit a barrier head on based on the leaking coolant/fluids.

Fearly light damage...not a hard hit. Came in from the left into the tire barrier. Damp condition again.

People commonly misunderstand what benchmarking is used for. It isn't explicitly about besting something, its about sizing up the segment leader (or competition) and seeing how you compare against it. Often the benchmark is targeted in some way, such as beat it by 10% or achieve 75% of it.

What happened to the results of their last trip to the ring?
Not so patently waiting.

Last time GM went to the Nurburgring they accumulated lots of data and then analyzed the results so that they could continue to build cars that perform well on & off the track. You're probably going to have to wait quite a while to get those results.
