Official Corvette driver since 2004, Oliver Gavin knows everything about the C6.R at the wheel of which he notably won two category victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2005 and 2006, success adding to his victory obtained the previous year with a C5-R. It is therefore quite natural that the Mad Croc Racing team contacted him when choosing its drivers for this 2010 season.
But the Briton cannot be present at all the races due to his ALMS program with Corvette Racing, he will be replaced three times (Abu Dhabi, Brno and Nürburgring) by the Finn Mika Salo, GT2 winner of the last two editions of the classic Le Mans.

Two big names to support the Finnish Perti Kuismanen, vice champion of the 2006 French GT championship on a Corvette from the PSI team, and who will be present throughout the season. The crew of the sister car has not yet been revealed.

The Belgian team Mad Croc Racing, born from the merger between DKR Engineering and the Selleslagh Racing team, now has all the cards in hand to play spoilsport in races where there will be a lot to do to win facing drivers of the caliber of Turner, Enge, Wendlinger or Mücke.
