I heard it was scrapped. I actually heard LMP Evo was scrapped but then may yet be alive or some crap like that, and the reason GM killed the Corvette LMP was because it was no longer relevant to the roadcar in that they decided to go to a front-engined format for the C7 and the Corvette LMP would be midengined.

I would question what relevance racing a Corvette at all has to the image of selling Corvettes - one, The ALMS and Le Mans is not that popular with the main market of Corvette - America, and two, people that are Corvette fans are I would say generally well established and don't need to see a car racing to gain popularity. In F1, I see the same problem with racing other than in new markets - I read Ferrari sold tons more cars in China after the years following the inaugural Chinese Grand Prix.

I truly don't understand why Toyota races, but I enjoy that they do.
