Dodge Viper V10 GTS-R racecar🔥 🚀An American icon with zero manners, Snarling and unapologetic.Too much motor, not enough sense.Not everyone can keep this beast on the track💨 💀 📸
So this is actually a pretty interesting chassis as well. GTS-R C46 was the last Viper GTS-R to race and finish the Le Mans 24 Hours, with Larbre Competition taking home 4th in GTS behind the winning Ferrari 550 and factory Corvettes in 2003, 16th place overall.
Fun fact I stumbled across in the FB comment section. In 1997 Oreca ran their Viper GTS-Rs wIth different transmissions in FIA GT. The #51 ran the production-based T-56 while the #52 ran a Weismann 5-speed race unit. For marketing reasons #51 was allegedly the #1 car in the team
In 1999 NP Racing ran the extremely early in devlopment ex-1996 Canaska Viper GTS-R at the Daytona 24 and FIA GT Homestead race. At Daytona they would actually be the highest finishing Viper, but only 10th in GT2 after running the updated 1999 splitter overwhelmed their front end
What a show! Cindi took home second in race one after an intense wheel-to-wheel battle! We'll reset and get ready to go again tomorrow!

Jean-Luc Maury-Laribiere brought Viper GTS-R chassis no. C1, the 1st Oreca run chassis, to Le Mans prequalifying in 1999. However, it didn't have the new suspension mounting points for 1999 and was denied. Laribiere usually ran art cars, so we probably missed out on a cool livery
