The Viper finished one-two at the 24 Heures du Mans in GTS class competition three consecutive years from 1998 to 2000. And this means that racing is inherent in Viper's genes. Historically the Viper GTS-R has enjoyed great success at Le Mans and now is expected to continue this tradition.

Dodge SRT Viper GTS-R represents a rebirth for the brand in road racing. The race car engages in an elevated level of technical sophistication to the track. For this reason SRT Motorsports teamed with Riley Technologies on the design-and-build process.

Furthermore, the drivers returning to the SRT Motorsports lineup for this year will be Tommy Kendall, Kuno Wittmer, Dominik Farnbacher and Jonathan Bomarito. Additional team announcements will be revealed at a later date.
