This 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R is one of five Works chassis built by ORECA for primary use in the 1999 FIA GT championship, in which it was fielded as the number-two entry with Jean-Philippe Belloc and a rotation of other drivers that included David Donohue and Dominique Dupuy at the wheel. Chassis C20 debuted in the third race of the season with a sweep of the pole position, fastest lap and overall victory at the Hockenheim 500km before leading a 1-2 ORECA finish at the Budapest 500km. The car added another sweep of the pole, fastest lap and victory at Watkins Glen with Belloc and American driver Donohue before finishing 2nd to its ORECA stablemate in the overall season standings.
Finished in a red, white and blue Mobil 1 livery, the car is powered by an 8.0-liter aluminum-block OHV V10 that is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Additional features include MoTeC engine management, Brembo slotted and ventilated disc brakes, adjustable coil-over suspension, staggered-width 18-inch OZ Racing wheels, a Sparco racing seat, a six-point harness and a MoTeC digital dashboard. This Viper GTS-R is now offered on dealer consignment in Emeryville, CA, with a 2004 FFSA Passport, documentation dating back to 2007 and a bill of sale.
