The SRT Viper GTS-R tests at Mid-Ohio
Racing is so essential to the legacy of the SRT ( formerly Dodge) Viper that division head Ralph Gilles launched the American Le Mans Series GT spec Viper GTS-R concurrently with the road - heading Viper at Aprils New York Car Demonstrate. Although you wont be ready to require delivery of a Viper until eventually late 2012 or early 2013, SRT was very clear that it was going racing through the 2012 year, so the only question was, when?
Enhancement spouse Riley Technologies has made great development in developing and screening the Viper GTS-R, and now comes word that the vehicle will make its competitors debut at the Mid-Ohio Distraction Car or truck Challenge, planned for Saturday, August 4. Running in the ALMS GT class, it will be up against the seemingly-unbeatable Corvette C6.R, the BMW M3 GT, the Aston Martin Vantage, the Ferrari F458 Italia, the Lotus Evora and the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
Driving responsibilities for the two group vehicles will be shared between Dominik Farnbacher, Marc Goossens and Kuni Wittmer, with IndyCar standout Ryan Hunter-Reay signing up for the staff for endurance functions. Its not clear if the Viper GTS-R will operate the 4 remaining ALMS races next Mid-Ohio, but SRT insists the cars will campaign a entire time in 2013.
It will be great to see new Vipers back on the track, and we desire SRT and Riley Technologies all the ideal for the Viper GTS-Rs racing debut.
