The legend lives on ...
A test report by CoMod JoergW

The Corvette C7R was launched in 2017 as the successor to the well-known Corvette C6R, which has been in the range at Carrera for some time. A V8 engine with a displacement of 5.5 liters and direct injection is set to shake up the GTE/GTLM class ... will it really succeed?

The appearance of the model is prototypical. The design-related free space in the wheel arch is small and does not detract from the overall appearance. The greenish light from the front gook headlights is rather poor and certainly only suitable for night racing to a limited extent. Thanks to the new flat LEDs without side shielding, the light from the wheel arches shines more clearly onto the road The chassis has sufficient space for trim weights on both sides. The interior is tidy, the cables are neatly routed.

I think the weight distribution between the chassis (72 g) and body (30 g) is very good, but the total weight could be a few grams lower. The printing and paintwork are flawless ... just as you would expect from Carrera . The front axle turns easily and freely.

The tires have sufficient grip, but due to their low thickness, there is very little room for sanding. However, breaking the edges should still be possible without any problems.

The vehicle readily absorbs power and, when fitted with magnets, has very pleasant and swift driving characteristics; its relatively long wheelbase certainly benefits the vehicle here.
The driving performance is on a par with the other GT cars. The yellow racer will easily join the field, whether it will be at the front ... that will depend not least on the person at the wheel.
