CHEVROLET, formally the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Company, is an American car manufacturing company founded in 1911 in Detroit, Michigan, by Louis Chevrolet, Swiss-born driver and engineer, his brother Arthur Chevrolet, and William C. Durant, the founder of General Motors (GM). Ousted from GM, Durant used CHEVROLET to acquire a controlling stake in the company in 1918. After Durant's second ouster in 1919, CHEVROLET was picked as GM's primary brand and direct competitor to FORD (even though a management survey in 1921 recommended the division be foreclosed). By 1929, CHEVROLET sales trumped those of FORD. The brand remained highly competitive throughout the following decades, setting the pace for the competition with special features - like six-cylinder engines, streamlined design, or fuel injection - in affordable models. The company also led the way with consumer sports cars, introducing the CORVETTE in 1953, popular SS ("Super Sport") versions of the IMPALA and NOVA in the early 1960s, and the CAMARO in 1967. The brand survived the turmoil of the 1970s and 1980s, continuing to update the major models; by the 2000s, CHEVROLET returned to the European market and made promising forays into electric vehicle production with the much-celebrated CHEVROLET BOLT.
The CHEVROLET brand has a rich history in motorsports. It has the most manufacturers' titles in all NASCAR series combined (and in each series separately), having recently recorded a 13-year winning streak in the NASCAR Cup Series between 2003 and 2015 - a period that saw Jimmie Johnson collect five Drivers' Championships in a row in a Hendrick Motorsports CHEVROLET (2005-2010). The brand has also featured for a number of decades in American open-wheel racing series, powering title-winning cars in the Indy Racing League (2002, for Panther Racing) and in the unified IndyCar Series (2012, 2014-2017 and 2019, for Andretti Autosport, Chip Ganassi Racing and Team Penske), along with eleven Indy 500 winners (1988-1993, 2002, 2013, 2015 and 2018-2019). CHEVROLET also holds the most class championships in the Trans-Am series (36, most recent in 2020) and has provided engines for the winning cars in the Can-Am series throughout its existence. More internationally, CHEVROLET has achieved significant success in the American Le Mans Series (Manufacturers' Championship in various GT classes in 2001-2008 and 2012-2013) and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (Manufacturers' Championship in the Prototype class in 2014-2016 and in the GT Le Mans class in 2016-2017 and 2020). Aside from multiple class wins, the brand was involved in three overall victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona - in 1969 (LOLA T70 with a CHEVROLET engine), 2001 (CHEVROLET CORVETTE C5-R) and 2014 (CORVETTE DAYTONA PROTOTYPE).
Outside of North America, CHEVROLET cars and engines have been involved in numerous racing series in different classes. Between 2010 and 2013, CHEVROLET CRUZE was the winning car in the World Touring Car Championship. Having participated (as car and engine-maker) in the World Sportscar Championship since the early 1960s, CHEVROLET also joined the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), established as its successor in 2012. That same year, Larbre Compétition won a Teams' Championship in the LMGTE Am class with CHEVROLET CORVETTE C6.R. The CHEVROLET CORVETTE C7.R won the LMGTE Pro class at the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans.
CHEVROLET was introduced in the Chevrolet Update (v1.1).
