IndyCar's Scott McLaughlin will pilot DXDT Racing's Corvette Z06 GT3R at Daytona's 24-hour endurance classic, with full-time driver Mason Filippi holding the no. 36 seat. The Z06 GT3R brings a naturally-aspirated LS engine and proven platform to one of motorsport's most demanding events, though details on the car's configuration and driver rotation remain thin.

Someone finally did the obvious thing—took a C1 shell and dropped modern Corvette guts underneath without turning it into a widebody fantasy. LS power, hydraulic steering, climate control that works, and enough restraint to remember what made the original matter. This is what happens when a builder respects the source material instead of just chasing Instagram clout.
