1997 STP TAISAN VIPER(JGTC) DODGE VIPER GTS-R(C8) Competed in the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 Japan GT Championship (JGTC) Originally built by ORECA RACING (some modifications has been done) GT2 Category GT Racing Car The STP TAISAN ADVAN VIPER made its debut in Round 5 of the 1997 Japan GT Championship GT500 Class at Mine Circuit. The car was purchased from ORECA Racing, a well-known French race car constructor and racing team, who at the time was building the GTS-R (C8) by request from Chrysler. Team TAISAN’s owner, Ricky Chiba personally went to France to obtain this factory racing car.  From its debut until the end of the racing season in 2000, the race car garnered impressive results, often competing head-to-head with factory-backed works machines.  Although the car switched its class to GT300 from Round 6 of the 2000 racing season, the car was originally categorized in the GT2 Class under FIA regulations. The 8-L V10 OHV engine that was modified to shed some weight, was combined with a conventional H-type 6-speed manual transmission. Receiving cooperation from an engineering company in the UK, REYNARD Motorsport, the chassis was reinforced to make this car a highly competitive GT racer.  Various modifications were made while racing in the JGTC series in order to abide to JAF-GT specifications. Since the car had been used at various events after its racing career, it is now installed with street-spec engine and suspension. However, the car is still categorized as a racing car hence it cannot be driven on public roads.  The car ran its last racing season as the DUPLEX TAISAN AD VIPER with a blue colored body. However, it currently has the 1999 black and red ECLIPSE TAISAN VIPER livery.  RACE DATA DM me, if you'd like to bid this one. @bhauction_j authorized @j_apa_n to use photo* 転載許可取得済み __________________________________ #AUCTION #CARAUCTION #Japan #JDM #jdmgram #engine #Nissan #Porsche #Dodge #Bentley #Skyline #TAISAN #YasutsuneChiba #GTR #SuperStreet #JCCS #boostlogic #stancenation #canibeat #circuit #Suzuka #LeMans #اليابان #مزاد #オークション __________________________________
