It appears in Forza Motorsport 3
Synopsis[]
Based on the C5 generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, the C5.R was built by Chevrolet (along with Pratt Miller) to compete in various GT endurance series around the world. The main series for the car would be the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), although it would make some appearances at major European races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Spa, with it eventually becoming one of the most dominant GT cars ever. Not much would be shared between the road car and the race car, with the only similarities being structural components. The most striking difference between the two cars, aside from the large rear wing and diffuser on the race car, would be the headlights of each car, with non-moving protruding headlights replacing the pop-up ones on the road car. The car would initially be powered by a modified version of the LS1 engine found in the road car, whose displacement had been increased slightly to 6.0L, although the engine would be bored out even more to 7.0L part way through the 1999 season, allowing the car to put out about 600 hp (447 kW).[1]
The #50 competed in the 2003 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTS class. Driven by Oliver Gavin, Kelly Collins, and Andy Pilgrim, the car would have a strong qualifying, starting 3rd in class, with its sister car, the #53, a few positions behind it in 5th, with the other three positions being taken up by 550 Maranellos. In the race, one of the Maranellos would end up falling back, while the other would suffer an accident at the end of the Mulsanne Straight, allowing the #50 to finish 2nd in class, while the #53 would finish just behind it on the last step of the class podium. This would be a bit of a disappointment compared to previous seasons however, as a Corvette had won the class the previous two years.[2]

The C5.R appears in two livery variants:
