The 2004 season was the final one for the Corvette #C5-R in factory hands. Chassis C5R-010 marked the beginning of the olivergavin/Olivier Beretta/Jan Magnussen partnership that began in 2004. Its first victory was #LeMans24 in 2004 – the first of three in a row in France for the trio. Gavin and Beretta won three straight races late in the season including #PLM. This chassis went on to race extensively in Europe until October 2009.
