The cornerstones of this year’s program are the four full-season drivers that are unchanged from a year ago. Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen – last year’s GT champions in the American Le Mans Series – are back together after leading the category with three victories. Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner – third in the ALMS GT championship in 2013 with two wins after taking the class title in 2012 – will drive the other Corvette.
