"We looked long and hard at available options in GT3 before opting to join the Corvette family," says Steller Motorsport team principal, Gary Blackham.
"The Z06 GT3.R is a stunning car, beautifully engineered and designed from the off as a true endurance racer.
"The team, and our customers that have seen the car already, are truly excited by the prospect of racing with one of the most successful brands in sportscar racing.

"British GT is a championship we are keen to be part of subject to the right driver combination. European races are also very much part of the plan."
Jessica Dane, Corvette Z06 GT3.R Programme Manager, says, “We look forward to working with Steller Motorsport starting in 2025 as we expand the global programme for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R.
"The team has experienced success in various GT4 championships in Europe, and we are happy that Steller Motorsport has chosen the Corvette GT3 as it progresses up the GT ladder of racing throughout Europe.”
Steller campaigned in 2024 with Audi in British GT4 and in the Automobile Club de l'Ouest sanctioned Michelin Le Mans Cup with Duqueine-Nissan LMP3 and Audi R8 GT3 Evo cars.
