After 16 seasons Jan Magnussen has been dropped form the line-up of Corvette Racing.
“I’m fortunate to have had such a long career with Corvette Racing,” he said. “When I joined the program in 2004, I never thought this would be my home for the next 16 years. The team is like my second family. I’m very proud of the championships and race wins we achieved together against very tough competition. Thanks to everyone at Corvette Racing for the good times and memories.”
Magnussen, the winner of four championships and 35 races for Corvette, intends to continue racing, and has found interest from teams in IMSA’s DPi and GT Daytona classes. His replacement at Corvette (tipped to be Jordan Taylor) and any other changes to the team as it moves to the new mid-engine C8.R chassis will be named later in the year.
