When the United SportsCar Racing (USCR) season opens in January,
Riley Technologies and racer Ben Keating will debut the
Dodge Viper GT3-R.
The vehicle was built as the first mass-produced GT3-based car designed
and manufactured by Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology
(SRT).
The first one to purchase the
SRT Viper
GT3-R was Keating and he also wishes to compete full-time in the USCR's
GT Daytona Class in 2014. He will manage a team next to the
vice-president of Riley Technologies - Bill Riley. The racing car will
carry the number 33.
In fact, the last Viper GT3 car was officially unveiled in 2005 and
went on to win two GT3 championships and a World Challenge GT title.
Back then the car was based on the GTS-R program, which dates back to
1996.
Currently the team prepares for the first official USCR test in
November, while the first time that a car will be put on track will be
in October. A public debut of the car is expected at the USCR official
test in November.
Riley Technologies is looking forward to building several Viper GT3-Rs over the next several months.
