Description[]
The Oldsmobile Aurora GTS-1 was a purpose-built grand touring race car campaigned as part of a General Motors-sponsored racing effort in the IMSA GT Championship. These cars were built by Pratt & Miller for Oldsmobile; Rocketsport and Creative are also known to have built similar cars. The Pratt & Miller-built Auroras were powered by a heavily-modified 4.0L L47 NorthStar V8; the cars shared little in common with their road-going counterparts, having more similarities with a Trans Am car due to its tube frame construction. These were campaigned with Brix Racing and Robinson Racing among other teams. Beginning competition in 1996 initially with Brix Racing, the cars were handed over to Robinson Racing in 1997; the #11 Robinson Racing car achieved a class victory at the 1997 12 Hours of Sebring with Irv Hoerr, Jack Baldwin and George Robinson at the wheel. After 1997, the Auroras were retired from competition. Pratt & Miller would later build a series of race cars patterned after the Corvette, such as the C5-R, C6.R, C7.R and C8.R.
