Chevy Corvette ZR1 Sets Lap Record at Virginia International Raceway

Supercars are known for being fast, not just normal fast, like superior speed that can only be obtained on race tracks. Few tracks are as tough as the Virginia International Raceway. But that didn’t stop the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 to set a production-car lap record on the 4.1-mile Grand Course West at Virginia International Raceway with a remarkable record time of 2:37.25.

Winning By No Other Measure Than Pure Speed

Five-point harnesses, complete with harness bar attached and track seating, the record-setting stock Corvette ZR1 coupe was stocked with the available paddle-shift eight-speed automatic, including the ZTK Performance Package. An adjustable carbon-fiber High Wing, a front splitter with carbon-fiber end caps, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 summer-only tires with unique chassis and Magnetic Ride Control tuning to make the 2019 Corvette ZR1 secure in its victory on the track.

“The Corvette ZR1’s lap record at VIR, arguably America’s most challenging road course, is a testament to its supercar status,” according to Mark Reuss, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “On the racetrack, the ZR1 can compete with any supercar — at any price.” That’s the confidence Corvette has with its top vehicle and many would agree, including us.
