The Greatest Corvette Story Ever Told (Camoradi #4)

The following episode focuses on the amazing history of the Camoradi #4 Corvette that finished 10th in the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans. The panel consisted of Richard Prince, author and official photographer for the GM Corvette Race Team; Dominic Testa, owner of the car; Chuck Schroedel, who was a member of the Camoradi team at Le Mans in 1960; and a special guest appearance by Laura Klauser, the GM Sports Car Racing Program Manager.



Each member of the panel gave their insight into the history of the car, while Chuck’s commentary from actually “being there” in ’60 was especially memorable. Ms. Klauser ended the presentation by taking us from Corvette racing in 1960 to the 2024 Corvette Racing programs competing not only in the United States, but in race series around the world.



This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
