"Brothers Ricky and Jordan Taylor are the primary drivers of the #10 Daytona Prototype. They are the sons of South African driver, and now team owner, Wayne Taylor. In 2015, the #10 car put together a couple wins –Mosport and Long Beach—and a handful of podiums before ending the season with a fourth place finish at a rain-shortened Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta. The Corvette Daytona Prototype is a V8-powered closed-cockpit racecar that is capable of both high-speed and nimble cornering. While adjustments to performance have attempted to equal the Grand-Am legacy DP cars to the P2 cars of the American Le Mans Series, their dominance in the merged Tudor United Sports Car Championship is inescapable. One trip around the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona course will show you what this car was built for – winning."—Official description[1]
The 2015 Chevrolet #10 Konica Minolta Corvette Daytona Prototype - abbreviated as "Chev. #10 DP" - is a DP sports prototype by Chevrolet.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 6 as part of the Meguiar's Car Pack and in all subsequent Motorsport series titles.
Synopsis[]
A Corvette in name only, the Corvette Daytona Prototype was built by Chevrolet to compete in the Daytona Prototype (DP) class of the Rolex Sports Car Series (RSCS). The car would mark both Chevrolet and General Motors' return to the top level of endurance racing as a full constructor after about a decade for the latter (succeeding the Cadillac Northstar LMP) and over two decades for the former (succeeding the Corvette GTP). The car would not be run on one singular chassis, instead being run on one of three different chassis, the Dallara DP01, the Coyote CPM, and the Riley XXVI. Powered by an LS9 based 5.5L naturally aspirated V8 designed by ECR Engines, the car outputs about 580 hp (433 kW). The Corvette would make its debut at the season opening round of the 2012 RSCS season at the 24 Hours of Daytona.[2]
In its debut season, the #10 car (run on a Dallara chassis) would take its first win at Homestead-Miami Speedway and would go on to take 2 other wins to finish 5th in the championship.[3] The car would then win the championship the next year in 2013 after taking 5 wins.[4] Prior to the 2014 season, the RSCS would be merged with its competing series, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) into the United (now IMSA) SportsCar Championship (USCC). In order to incorporate both the P1 and P2 cars from the ALMS, a new set of regulations were created to establish a single Prototype (usually noted simply as P) class. This meant the Corvette DP had to be overhauled, mainly aerodynamically, with it given a large rear diffuser and a dual element rear wing, while also gaining a carbon clutch and brakes. Even with its overhaul, the #10 would still manage to finish 2nd in the championship, only losing out to another Corvette.[5]
For the 2015 season, the bodywork on the Corvette DP would be completely redone to emulate the recently introduced C7 Corvette Stingray.[6] The driver team for the #10 car would be the same as it had been the previous season, with brothers Jordan and Ricky Taylor piloting the car as the main duo, while Max Angelelli would be the third driver for the major endurance rounds. The car would end up having its worst season since 2012, finishing 5th after only taking two wins, although part of the reason for this finishing position was due to the car being disqualified and dropped to the back of the grid at Daytona due to Jordan exceeding the maximum drivetrain limitation.[7] Without this penalty, the car would have likely finished 2nd for the second year in a row. Chevrolet would win their first manufacturers' championship after winning the engine championship the previous three seasons.[8]
The driver lineup for the #10 would stay practically the same for the 2016 season, with the only change being the addition of Rubens Barrichello as a fourth driver for the first two races of the season. The car would take 3 wins and end up 3rd in the championship, only a couple of points behind both 1st and 2nd place, who also both happened to be Corvette DPs. Chevrolet would win their 2nd straight manufacturers' championship and 5th straight engine/manufacturers' title.[9]
For the 2017 season, GM would replace the Corvette DP with the Cadillac DPi-V.R, bringing the Cadillac brand name back to endurance racing for the first time in almost 15 years after the previously mentioned Northstar LMP was retired following the 2002 season. Chevrolet would still continue to compete in endurance racing, but only in the GT classes with the CX.Rs.
