Racers Edge Motorsports have announced they would be fielding a Dodge Viper Competition Coupe in next year’s GT championship of the Rolex Sports car series. 2002 was the last season to see a Viper compete in Grand-Am.
"We have been working closely with Grand-Am’s officials and our suppliers to develop a Viper-spec engine that meets all of Grand-Am's requirements," said David Bailey, Senior Manager, SRT Motorsports Engineering.
Doug Peterson and Jan Heylen will be the drivers of the No.87 3Dimensional.com/Dodge Motorsports Viper in the Rolex sports car series, they will also drive a Viper SRT8 in the Continental Tire Sports car Challenge (CTSCC). Father and son pairing of Rod and D.J. Randall will co-drive the No.86 SRT8 in CTSCC.
"Building [the cars] from scratch in just a few months has been an enormous undertaking," said Jon Mirachi, team owner of Racers Edge.
"[But] it is great to be heading up this new program," he continued. "The Viper Competition Coupe is an incredible machine and will make a great Rolex GT weapon for us to compete with for the championship. The Challenger SRT8 program is also fantastic and we can't wait to hit the track with that famous Hemi power."
