The Dodge Viper GTS-R, despite being built by ORECA in France, is one of the greatest American racing success stories (at least in Europe) of the last 30 years. With its ridiculous engine, out-of-this-world styling and monstrous reputation, the Dodge Viper raced its way into the history books one win at a time.

I remember seeing a parked brand new 1996 Viper GTS parked at dealership. It wowed everyone with the blue and white stripes. Also that bright red Team Oreca Viper GTS-R from Gran Turismo 3 was one of my favorites. One of the drivers for the 1999 and 2000 winning Le Mans winning Viper GTS-R was Olivier Baretta. He would go on to win the 2004 24hrs of Le Mans in a Corvette C5.R and the 2005, 2006, and 2011 in a Corvette C6.R. The 2011 win was with IMSA mainstay Corvette Racing's Antonio Garcia.

The best part about the Viper is that there's at least one flavor of the racing Viper for their childhood. Aside from the distinguished red and white Viper from newer GTs, you have the white, blue, and red Oreca Viper on GT2 and other games like Le Mans 24 Hours, then there's the blue and white Cica-sponsored Viper on Scud Race, and not to mention the green and white Viper (Canaska Southwind) you can drive on GT1. Also shout out to the other Vipers in both versions of Le Mans 24 Hours as well.

It's unfortunate that the US car stereotypes are that of gas guzzlers and the crapiest of handling. Which has an element of truth. I however, think that Corvettes are awesome. Perhaps with Ferrari and Mclaren type handling, fuel consumption and tuning they would be extremely impressive. US car company business models don't help with improving these cars and how they are perceived.

​@@subject_7 American sports cars like the Corvette and the Viper have better Fuel Consumption and Reliability than their European Counterparts. Ferrari 458 is 13/17 MPG City/Highway, Nissan R35 GTR is 16/22 C/H, The Dodge Viper SR1 did 12/20 C/H, 5th Gen is 12/21 C/H, the 5th Gen being 200 hp more than the R35 and 100 more than the 458 with even more peak torque. The Corvette is even more impressive, the C5 did 18/25 C/H, the C7 and C8 Both do 16/24 C/H. The Torquey nature of those engines were one of the reasons why they were so dominant in Both Sprint and Endurance races in Motorsport, Torque > Revs for both efficiency and power. The stereotype of them being fuel eating boats came from the muscle cars of the 60s, which ironically were far more faster and sportier than 90% of what Europe had to offer at the time and everything Japan offered. People also like bringing up the HP/Liter to push this narrative of European/Japanese Superiority Forward, which is ironically a good argumentative case against the fuel efficiency, power curve and reliability of those with higher HP/Liter Figures, often smaller cars with smaller engines. Often those who have no engineering knowledge are very susceptible to this argument.

One my favourite of all time and one I've had the pleasure of seeing many times in person. My first ever track visit was the Silverstone round of the '97 FIA GT championship and that pretty much got me hooked. You missed one notable victory though, it was either the 2002 or 2003 Silverstone round of the FIA GT championship and Fabio Babini managed to hold off the Lister Storms for many a lap to claim victory in that race in the Paul Belmondo Racing Viper. I remember the Viper's were definitely spitting the biggest flames as it got dark. Those days were nuts, the ground would shake as the pack of cars went past at the start. Cars can be pretty loud these days, but back then they were painfully loud. If you get the chance to see historic endurance racing, do it! There are some decent grids still racing out there.

Thanks for the vid! To my knowledge, there's some mistakes. Viper GTS-R frames were build in Detroit and slightely modified by Oreca in France. Reynard "only" built all carbon fiber body parts in UK as Dynamics built dampers in UK too. Engines were prepared by Caldwell in California. Vipers dominated Championships and Le Mans 24h from 98 to 2000 and won Daytona 24h overall. When Youre showing a LMP900/LMP1 grey Chrysler/Playstation Prototype, it's for 2001 season (Dallara chassis & Judd Engine). Blue Playstation livery in 2002. There was an attempt in 2000 at Le Mans with two Red/white stripes Reynard chassis with downsized Dragster Mopar V8, but it wasn't reliabl at all. Perhaps I forgot some other details. 🙃

No small achievement especially winning at Spa. They not only had to beat Lister but their own Viper competitors who continued to develop the cars themselves. That is until the 550 and Saleen appeared and the Vipers FIA GT days were numbered. That aside keep up the good work.

@10:45 Not quite complete picture; Larbre again won the Spa 24 hours in their GT2 'GT1' Viper (repeating their 2001 success) with Christophe Bouchut, Sebastian Bourdais, Vincent Vosse and David Terrien (the 'Am') driving - which also contributed to their 2nd consecutive FIA GT Championship title in 2002. Larbre's Viper was also leading the 2003 race after 12 hours but insane weather gave the overall win to the N-GT class Porsche by the end. Larbre's battles with Lister in 2001 in the FIA GT series really were legendary - and hilarious, especially Zolder and Silverstone 2001.

I'm 100% a British car enthusiast, but the Viper e a lot more good looking than the Storm, and my favorite car of it's time. Of course, I was introduced to it via Gran Turismo, but after seeing it race irl, it won my heart, I just love it.

OMG 😮. Another amazing video (I hope, didn't watch yet). Other than the Viper🐍, I like the look of the Mustang 🐎. 🇺🇸 But I don't know if the Mustang ever raced outside of drag competitions. 🤔

I feel like you could have given more importance regarding the Zakspeed Viper at the Nbr24. Great Vid tho.

Glad you enjoyed the video! I did mention Zakspeed's success briefly a couple of times, but delving into all the details of that story was beyond the scope of this video. For a more detailed look at that specific story I know @stijnpaspont has a video about it

Well, Viper history has essentially been made by Viper Team Oreca for 5 years and customer cars like Zakspeed were build by Oreca.
