Craig Lowndes samples the C8 Corvette at The Bend. The C8 Chevrolet Corvette makes its first public appearance Down Under at The Bend Motorsport Park. Street Machine scribe Dave Carey says: "The car wasn't on public display or anything like that. The GMSV folks idled the car through the pits and then took it for one gentle lap. I was hoping they'd give it a bit of a rev so we could hear what it sounds like on the noise, but sadly no."
