Oliver Gavin and Jan Magnussen
Oliver Gavin and Jan Magnussen became two of Corvette Racing’s brightest stars over a decorated run together in the 2000s and 2010s. Both drivers had a background in open-wheel racing before they transitioned to sports cars. Gavin joined Pratt & Miller for the ALMS endurance races in 2002, taking a full-time seat in the No. 4 Corvette the following year. Magnussen was Gavin’s co-driver in the No. 4 for the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Petit Le Mans each year from 2004-2006. During this time, Gavin, Magnussen, and Olivier Beretta won the Petit Le Mans twice and Sebring once. For the 2007 season, Magnussen got a full-time ride in the No. 3 Corvette. He and Gavin would represent Pratt & Miller as teammates for the next 13 racing seasons, building Corvette Racing into a competitive force.
Both drivers showcased their tremendous racing ability behind the wheel of Corvettes. Gavin is the winningest driver in the history of the Corvette Racing team with 51 victories in over 200 starts. His career accomplishments include five class wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, five wins in the 12 Hours of Sebring, and five in the Petit Le Mans.
