Chrysler Group LLC has announced the end of the Factory SRT Viper programme that concluded the 2014 season at Petit Le Mans by securing both the teams and drivers titles in the GTLM class with Kuno Wittmer and the with the Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R. SRT finished second in the Manufacturers title standings.
The cessation of the GTLM programme after just a two year life will be a blow to IMSA’s Tudor United SportsCar Championship with the Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R GTLM-class team. The Dodge brand will redirect its focus and efforts on the brand’s product lineup.
Ralph Gilles, Senior Vice President of Product Design, Chrysler Group LLC.
“Our company has made a business decision to discontinue the SRT Motorsports Dodge Viper GTS-R racing program.
“We are very proud of the amazing achievements our fantastic teams, drivers and partners have achieved on track the last few seasons. We thank them for their hard work, effort and commitment to SRT Motorsports. It’s been an honor to be a part of the inaugural IMSA Tudor United SportsCar Championship season and we wish them every success in the future.”
The programme produced a total of three class wins – One in the 2013 American Le Mans Series at Road America, and two this season in TUSCC at Indianapolis and COTA
