About the Chevrolet Corvette C5-R #3 R. Fellows / J. O'Connell / O. Gavin ALMS Petit Le Mans 2002 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Chevrolet Corvette C5-R carries the #3 factory livery driven by Fellows, O'Connell, and Gavin at the 2002 ALMS Petit Le Mans. This used example is a fixed one-piece body and shows traces of storage on the box, model itself intact. A documented entry from Corvette Racing's dominant early-2000s program.
Corvette Racing's factory C5-R program defined American GT endurance racing in the early 2000s, and this driver trio counts among the most consistently successful in that team's history.
Sealed-Body Precision for a Factory GT Racer
This C5-R is cast as a fixed one-piece body, holding tight, consistent panel lines across the car's wide GT-class bodywork and rear wing assembly. The exterior carries the model's fidelity entirely: crisp livery registration for the factory Corvette Racing sponsors, accurate wheel arch flares, and a wide-body stance rendered with genuine presence. Zinc alloy construction gives the compact casting real weight for its footprint. As a used piece, expect handling wear typical of prior display; the box shows traces of storage, though the model's finish holds up well and the livery remains sharp.
A Piece of Corvette Racing's Golden Era
Petit Le Mans has long served as American sports car racing's showcase endurance event, and Corvette Racing's works program dominated GT competition there through much of the early 2000s. This specific driver lineup and race year document a genuine chapter of that success rather than a generic factory livery. At 1:43, the compact scale suits building a broader ALMS or IMSA-era GT grid without demanding excessive display space. For collectors focused on American factory racing programs or endurance history specifically, this Corvette is a genuinely significant, well-documented addition.
