What real Corvette C5-R racing cars did exist?
Although this particular design is fictional, the Chevrolet Corvette C5-R itself was a legendary and highly successful real racing car.
The real factory cars: The real C5-R was built by Pratt & Miller for General Motors and dominated the endurance racing between 1999 and 2004.
The iconic colors: The real factory cars hardly ever drove in black and gold. They started in 1999 with a silver/black 'GM Goodwrench' livery and switched to the world-famous, bright yellow Corvette Racing house color in 2000.
Big successes: The real cars won legendary races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans (in their class), the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Known drivers: Instead of Anna Petri, the real C5-R was driven by legends from motorsport, such as Ron Fellows, Johnny O'Connell, Oliver Gavin, Andy Pilgrim and even pop star Dale Earnhardt Jr. during the 24 Hours of Daytona.
In addition to this fantasy version, Fly Car Model also released dozens of racetrack cars that were exactly based on the real yellow and silver Corvettes that drove at Le Mans and in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
