It marked Chevrolet's return to Daytona racing as a full constructor, not just as an engine manufacturer.

The car raced in Grand-Am competition from 2012 through 2013 as a Daytona Prototype and then continued in the P class in the IMSA Tudor SportsCar Championship Series, now called the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

These included carbon brakes, carbon clutch, large rear diffuser (not part of Grand-Am rules), dual element rear wing, and other aerodynamic upgrades.

[1][2] For 2015, an aesthetic upgrade included a C7 style grille, headlights, and taillights.

[3] The 5.5 L port injected LS based GM small-block engine was built by ECR Engines and features individual throttle bodies and a dry sump oil system.
