Ah ok, now I have to try and update the database again haha.

[str5010]

I think I've posted this before, but attached is what I have so far. Again, I can't take credit for first developing this content and I'm not sure who did. I've just tried to add to it simply because I love these cars. I have to live vicariously through those that preserve them!

Please let me know if you have and care to share more info that could improve the list.

[Florent MOULIN]

Great thanks for your efforts ! ;-)

Haha Stan you beat me to it! I'm just happy to learn not only are there people out there as interested as I am in these cars, but that they have gone further and taken action to preserve and display them at this level!

[ViperArry]

Wow, 13 pages to read through... thats impressive.

I've just unfreezed my account, dating back to the VCA forums if I'm right.
Going to take some time to read through, but think I can add some posts

I've never been so tempted to get a passport! Those two RT/10 LMs would be enough for me but a few dozen more GTS-R's, oh man.

[Stan0268]

these le Mans RT are unique, these two wrote the first racing and glorious pages of our favorite cars…

[ViperArry]

Anyone with some more information about this 4th Luigi Racing RT/LM?

What will a good GTS-r oreca go for these days, you guys reccon?

I really need to have one. Only know the Chamberlain GTS-r for sale in Germany, but would like to have a Oreca with a Mader engine in it.....

I don't believe the car in Germany is a GTS-R spec car. I only just learned that some cars were built, not by Oreca, to run in the lower GT class and they were called GTS which matches the listing. I believe that particular car attempted to qualify for Le Mans in 99 in the lower GT class.

Others hopefully can answer your question about the market value of a real Oreca chassis currently. The number I saw for that one which was recently sold at a property seizure auction I believe was in excess of $200k and it was even said to have some form of damage.

10 years ago I saw numbers around $180k. I believe C31 sold at auction for around $450k.

You are right about the market. In the last 2 years prices changed very fast. C31 would go now for 3 times this money.

[str5010]

Considering the history and record of success associated with C31, that kind of value certainly would seem justified.

Both of those are amazing cars. Florent will you be running any of your Vipers in the US this year?

[str5010]

Check this out all, I was working on the GTS-R registry and arrived at chassis C13. I've only found record of it appearing at one event, 2002 24H of Le Mans test session entered by Larbre Competition - Chereau. The odd part to me is the car appeared wearing the iconic #51 red with white stripe Chrysler/Mobil/PlayStation livery that was on chassis C31 for the 2000 Le Mans victory. Anyone know the story behind this?

I don't know the story but I was at Le mans 24hrs in 2002
