Corvette Racing program going for 13 class victories in 12 Hours
SEBRING, Fla. (March 20, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ two Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs will line up one behind the other Saturday for the start of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in the drive for a 13th class victory in America’s oldest sports car race.
Antonio Garcia was the quickest Corvette driver in Friday’s 15-minute qualifying session in the red-white-and-blue No. 3 Z06 GT3.R. His lap of 1:59.295 (112.862 mph) placed him sixth on the grid in the Corvette he will share with Alexander Sims and Marvin Kirchhöfer. Not too far behind in eighth was Tommy Milner in the No. 4 Corvette that he will drive with Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone after a lap of 1:59.465 (112.702 mph).
Of note, Garcia and Milner both will make their 20th career starts in the 12 Hours.
Both Corvettes were within a second of the class pole-winner but rarely does qualifying matter at a race as long or as grueling as Sebring. There certainly is enough experience to fall back on with Corvette Racing being a constant at the race dating back to 1999. Sebring, which has been the site of 14 class victories for the program – a dozen coming in the 12 Hours. Each came from the two-car Corvette Racing factory team operated by Pratt Miller.
In GTD, Salih Yoluc qualified 10th in class behind the wheel of DXDT Racing’s No. 36 Corvette. He posted a best lap of 2:00.974 (111.279 mph) lap that was less than one-tenth of a second off teammate and Corvette factory driver Charlie Eastwood’s best lap from Thursday’s practice sessions.
13 Autosport’s Orey Fidani set a best lap in qualifying of 2:02.298 (110:074 mph) in the qualifying session, just ahead of Henrik Hedman for DragonSpeed, which will race its No. 81 Corvette for just the second time and first time at Sebring.
The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring is set for 10:10 a.m. ET on Saturday from Sebring International Raceway. It will stream live on Peacock with television coverage on NBCSN from 5 to 10:30 p.m. IMSA Radio will stream live audio coverage on XM 206, Channel 996 on the SiriusXM app and IMSA.com.
CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R QUALIFYING DRIVER QUOTES
ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “Qualifying in a way does matter here because any time you are not on pole, it’s not great. But I would say that we maximized what we had. In the practice sessions we made some steady progress, which is good. The car in qualifying behaved how we expected. There were no big surprises. We were just down on pace. I would say night practice Thursday was already mayhem with people acting like it was the race. So I’m sure it will be the same tomorrow night to the end, so let’s see.”
TOMMY MILNER, NO. 4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “I don’t think we’re not quite where we need to be for the race. We had a very good car Thursday in the morning and the afternoon, and then in the nighttime it got away from us a little bit. We made some small changes that we thought would be in the right direction, and suitable for qualifying, but we’re still just a little bit out of the window. Not unhappy by any means but if I think about a car that we want to have for the race, we’re not quite there yet so we need to do a little bit of work with the engineers and make some small tweaks and then I think we’ll be back to where we were yesterday. I didn’t have it quite as bad as Antonio in night practice last night, but I have been in his situation before and I know exactly what he was going through. I anticipate a lot more of those moments. It will be a very typical Sebring with how we race with the prototype cars and where their strengths are and where our strengths are. It leads to some dicey moments but I’m ready and prepared for them.”
SALIH YOLUC, NO. 36 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “I’m generally content with how qualifying went. I left a couple or three-tenths on the table, but I don’t think it would have changed our position much. So it’s an OK position to start. I do think we have a much better racecar than we do a car for qualifying. We are much closer to the front of the field in race trim, and I do think we have a good chance to move forward in the race.”
