Drivers Luca Pirri and Jurgen von Gartzen were also named runners-up in the GT3 Driver’s Championship. Built and campaigned by Callaway Competition GmbH in Leingarten, Germany, the Z06.R is the FIA GT3 homologated version of the Z06 road car. The FIA series showcases competition between exotics including, Aston-Martin, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Maserati and Porsche and Viper, in a very near road-going configuration. The three-car Martini-Callaway Corvette team achieved the victory with six fantastic drivers behind the wheel, including Pirri and von Gartzen, Uli Berberich-Martini, Klaus Ludwig, Jiri Skula and Martin Matzke. “The Corvette is a very exciting platform, a true world-class sports car,” says Callaway Competition Director and Team Manager Ernst Woehr. “This was a hard-earned victory for the Callaway team, from the drivers and crew members to our engineering partners at the Callaway Connecticut facility. We took an impressive street car and transformed it into a world champion.” The winning cars started life as standard Z06 Corvettes, and Callaway Competition, which has experience in FIA road racing, LeMans, and other top European series, prepared the 500 hp sports cars as competition-competent racers. Woehr and his Callaway Competition partner Giovanni Ciccone were well-versed in the latest Corvette technology long before the Z06 Corvettes cars rolled into the Leingarten facility. Their partner company, Callaway Cars in Old Lyme Connecticut, engineers engine, chassis and body modifications on Corvettes stateside. This provided the Callaway Competition baseline performance information that was applied to the racecars. The first three Corvettes were constructed to the FIA regulations as GT3 racing machines, followed shortly by several more for privateer efforts. There are currently 10 Callaway-built Z06.R racecars competing in the FIA GT3 Championship, the ADAC Masters and the Belcar (Belgian National) series. Many of the technologies and performance modifications utilized in race program are also employed on Callaway’s line of Corvette-based road cars. "The FIA Series Championship is particularly good for us as a road car manufacturer because we get to compete nose to nose with the brands that Callaway Cars sells against: Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Viper and Jaguar,” says company founder Reeves Callaway. “To beat them on the track, in such a competitive arena, speaks volumes about our cars being the genuine article. Note that this series is ultra competitive all through the field -the first ten cars usually finish under a blanket. I wish the format were brought to the USA."
