Default One less RS 4.0 on the road.
Early reports indicate that it may have been payback from Jan Magnussen and the Chevorlet / Corvette racing team going back to the 2009 ALMS race final at Laguna Seca.

Soon, first open will be the NASA event at the end of December.

Members will have access to the track before then at some point.

Wow ... that is alot of Chevy to be sold in Germany. I guess when you see 911 and BMW all day long you crave an American car once in a while
