4 Corvette News: Is your C7 paint job too boring, Check Out This Rad Corvette C7.R Graffiti Livery The fluorescent paint pops from every angle in any lighting. Larbre must have decided a bright yellow C7.R didn t already stand out enough on the racetrack. It glows in the dark to give the drivers some positive energy according to the artist. If you happen to watch Le Mans at night, you ll have no trouble picking out the #50 Larbre C7.R. Corvette Racing: Gavin: Corvette will bounce back from mediocre Le Mans Oliver Gavin, a five-time Le Mans 24 Hours class winner with Corvette Racing, is convinced the team will come back stronger in 2019 after a subdued performance at this year s race. The Gavin/Tommy Milner/Marcel Fassler-driven #64 C7.R was knocked back by two mechanical issues before retiring with overheating in the morning hours. Corvette's #63 car piloted by Jan Magnussen, Antonio Garcia and Mike Rockenfeller, crossed the line fifth in category, but following the #67 Ford GT s post-race penalty, was classified fourth. 4
