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, cast as a sealed one-piece body. This is a used model, box showing traces of storage. A well-documented American GT racing piece.

The Corvette C5-R was the backbone of Chevrolet's factory GT racing programme in the early 2000s, and this #3 car names its full driver line-up from a genuine Petit Le Mans entry.

Bold Livery Over a Sealed Shell

With no opening panels, this casting presents the C5-R's wide GT proportions as one continuous shape, giving the factory livery's bold graphics and number 3 a smooth, unbroken surface to sit across without a hinge line disrupting the design. At 1:43 the fixed construction holds the shape crisply, and the zinc alloy body carries genuine weight for the model's compact footprint. The C5-R's flared rear arches and prominent rear wing translate clearly even at this reduced scale, since the shape's impact comes from its overall stance rather than fine surface texture. This is a used model rather than fresh stock, and the outer box shows traces of storage, wear confined to the carton and not the casting.

A Factory Effort Worth Naming

Petit Le Mans became one of the American Le Mans Series' signature endurance rounds, and Chevrolet's factory-backed Corvette Racing programme used cars like this one to build a genuinely competitive American GT presence against established European rivals. Having all three named drivers on the livery gives this piece specific, verifiable identity within that programme's history. Displayed alongside other early-2000s American GT entries, it anchors a themed endurance shelf with real factory-team context rather than a generic Corvette colour scheme.
