Oliver Gavin uploaded a video of the two new GT2 Corvette C6.Rs testing at Gingerman. He says:

The two new GT2 Corvettes are having their pre-race shakedown at Gingerman Raceway. They sound glorious!

Can't wait to see those guys racing in the GT2 class. I know there will be a learning curve for them to get through, but I think they're eventually going to own the GT2 class just as they did in GT1. To bad today's race is on delayed broadcast until Sunday

Is it just the video but does the dark rear end make the car look short and stubby?

It is shorter and stubby compared to the Gt1. the fenders and head lights have to start out with the correct size, where the Lights were enlarged on the GT1.

Only fender flares are allowed rather than whole fenders like the GT1.
