What are the ducts on the top of the rear quarter panels for? Also , I see some rods connecting the front splitter to? What are their function?

[Fatboy 18]

The ducts in the rear glass above the rear quarter panels are the fuel cell filling points, if you look on page 1 the 53 car is being refuelled in the pits at Le mans and you can see the fuel lines attached

The additional rods holding the front splitter are doing just that, the car creates additional down force and the rods are stopping the front splitter from folding under the front of the car

Great thread. Viper, distilled to its purest form.

gotta wonder what a true Oreca GTSR in operational and good condition would go for today?

Thanks for that information. Does the splitter not go right under the car about a third of the way under the engine? that would not fold under any circumstance would it when its a large piece like that?

I was wondering more about the ducts that are right on the rear quarter panels right above the rear wheels. Not the ones on the rear glass area.

The ducts above the rear quarter panels can be used for differential cooling purposes. At high speeds the load on the front of the splitter can cause it to bend towards the track, the splitter cables allow for some flexibility, but act to keep the splitter off the deck. The attached pic shows the set up on my car, the difference being the GTSR does a better job of hiding said cables.

C32 & C33 the car shown and its twin reside about 90 min from me locked away. Such a shame. There are 3 GTSRs in So Cal that I know of. One is owned by a So Cal Club member and sees the track regularly. BTW-What diffuser are you running on your GTS?

[Fatboy 18]

My diffuser is the Autoform 4 blade, it uses exactly the same holes and screws that are used to hold the rear bumper, so there is no extra drilling involved and no damage done to the rear bumper if for any reason you decide to remove it or need to do any form of work on the car

Steve makes GREAT products and the quality is excellent

What were some of the engine specs on those cars...hp tq..and I see a system on top of the intake in the picture above with the blue X brace across it. Carbon fibre. What is that? Any information from anyone on these motors and headers exhaust set up etc....

Oreca in France at the time lead by Hughes De Chaunac did it all including the engine which produced over 800 HP prior to restrictors. The X brace is for chassis stiffening but unbolts easily for engine access.

Fatboy.. i was looking at those pics and saying "damn looks like my pics" wait THEY ARE! lol
