On Thursday, it was announced that Le Mans would be moved from its traditional June date for a second year in a row in a bid to maximise the chances of spectators being allowed to attend. The French classic will now instead take place on the weekend of August 21-22 , which had created a clash with IMSA's fixture at VIR. In response, IMSA has now moved the VIR round to October 7-9, the weekend on which the Petit Le Mans season finale was originally supposed to take place. Now the Road Atlanta race will take place on November 11-13. The move theoretically means Corvette Racing should be free to make its annual trip to Le Mans, with the FIA World Endurance Championship centerpiece race now falling in between the Road America and Laguna Seca IMSA rounds. Corvette has already been confirmed to take part in the first WEC race of the new season at Portimao in April and could also race at Spa in May ahead of the 24 Hours. Revised 2021 IMSA schedule: 1.

Ferrari 812 GTS Stallone By Mansory Gives The V12 Cabrio A Wild Look
The naturally aspirated V12 pumps out 820 horsepower. We're always worried when Mansory gets its hands on a new car as the end result is usually extremely controversial. When the tuner introduced an aftermarket package for the 812 Superfast about a year ago, we were pleasantly surprised by how restrained it looked , which is something we can't say about the 812 GTS featured here. Behold the "Stallone," a wild makeover for Maranello's naturally aspirated V12 convertible. The Bavarian aftermarket specialist has developed a rather busy-looking carbon fiber body kit for Italy's retractable hardtop supercar, topped by a massive rear wing bringing back childhood memories of playing Need for Speed Underground. In typical Mansory fashion, it's an outlandish makeover for the 812 GTS with a plethora of aerodynamic add-ons and more vents than a Ferrari should ever have.
