Milner will operate the Corvette GT3.R with regular pedals, while Wickens uses hand controls, including brake and throttle paddles, to adapt to racing. The vehicle's electronic brake system developed by Bosch integrates well with the controls, ensuring a seamless racing experience. Wickens, accustomed to the tactile feel of a brake, expresses satisfaction with the hydraulic sensation achieved through meticulous tuning. He reports feeling comfortable and shows optimism about adapting to racing again, indicating that the systems feel inherently compatible with the vehicle's design.
When I embarked on this journey of racing with hand controls, I was always envisioning just that hydraulic sensation with my hands, on applying the brake. And, yeah, everyone involved, they made it happen.
The fact that I was just straight away comfortable; frankly, I was concerned that [it] might take me a little bit to get up to speed, but thankfully that wasn't the case so far.
I think the biggest takeaway I have so far is that it feels like the Bosch EBS and the hand control system that was developed by Pratt Miller it was like it belonged in this car.
There hasn't been a single hiccup. It feels like... when they designed the Z06 GT3, it was always in the plan, almost? It just looks like it belongs in the car.
