We are very sad to report that racing legend and Corvette icon John Fitch has passed away today. He was 95 years old.
John was a true pioneer in the industry and was a key player in the development of the Corvette and it's racing legacy. He drove everything from the 1957 Corvette SS, 1960 Le Mans winning Corvette, and many more. His story is forever documented in the recent documentary The Quest.
John was also an innovator of safety, engineer, and designer, on top of his storied racing legacy.
His spirit will be truly missed. We send our prayers out to his family and friends.
RIP friend. |
A real gent, a very funny guy and above all just a great human being who was a super talented race car driver.
