After a sucessful campaign with the C5R, Pratt & Miller decided to switch to a racer based on the new 6th generation Corvette. After the car's debut season with the factory, Pratt & Miller decided to sell these cars to two privately run teams.

The first car built was sold and delivered to Toine Hezemans of Carsport GLPK and the second was to PSI Experience (owned by Philippe Tillie of France). Both cars shared a great debut season where they finished 1st and 2nd overall at Paul Richard in France as well as enduring their first 24 Hour race in the hands of non factory teams.

2007 saw an additional C6R chassis (004) in the hands of Luc Alphand Aventures of France as well as the switching of Toine Hezemans C6R to be run by Phoenix Racing in Germany. PSI Experience opted to focus their full attention on the FFSA French GT series and only ran select races in the FIA GT Championship.

After a debut win in Monza for Alphand, the team took part in the 24 Hours of Spa with the help of factory drivers Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta. After a long hard fight around the clock twice, it was Carsport Holland that emerged victorious (the first time for Corvette at Spa).

Like 2008, new teams will start this year's European Championships with additional C6Rs. The first going to Alphand (003 chassis) and the second to the newly named Phoenix Carsport (005 chassis). SRT, former C5R privateer will campaign their new C6R in the FFSA GT and FIA GT championship, while DKR Engineering (operating staff that ran PSI Experience) will again concentrate on a full FFSA GT season as well as an entry in this year's 24 Hours of Spa.
