During the 2006 Indianapolis 500 race, Corvettes (and Chevrolet SSR vehicles) will be used as official support vehicles, more commonly referred to as "Festival" or "Track Vehicles". The LeMans Blue Corvette Convertibles have Titanium Interiors and Gray Convertible Tops. (The SSR's will be Redline Red).

How are Festival / Track Vehicles made??? After the Speedway receives the vehicles, Graphics are then applied to complement the official Corvette Pace Car.

We thought you would enjoy the documented conversion process and photos below!! Our thanks to Howard Kirchenbauer, our Indy 500 Historian, for providing this photo documentary!!
