Virtual SRT Motorsports

In a sad day in motorsports, the SRT/Dodge Viper GTS-R program was announced terminated.

Despite winning the championship this weekend, with Canadian Kuno Wittmer taking the drivers and team #93 driven by Kuno Wittmer, Jon Bomarito taking the team championship, Dodge decided to pull the plug on the program.

So after some thought, I decided that 1 is too lonely, but 3's a company!



Introducing the first Virtual SRT Motorsports Squad with a team consisting of something OTHER than a Viper!



Using the livery based on the new Trans-Am TA2 Dodge Challengers, we hope that it will bring us luck in the hunt for the team championship!

With the opening round of TORA's GT season 12 less than 24 hours away, the Virtual SRT Motorsports are proud to finally reveal the team and drivers. During the media day, Virtual SRT took the streets of Long Beach to showcase the new cars and allowed fans to get up and personal with the new team.

As you know, we recently decided to sport a second team for the upcoming GT season. Team 1 will be sporting the #ViperRedReturns livery and will be raced by XPR Soundwave, Cap10morguen and a 3rd TBA driver.

We are proud to present that the livery team 2 will be using is the One-Off (not anymore) TI Automotive livery used by the #91 Team of Dominik Farnbacher and Marc "The Goose" Goosens at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Ok folks!

It's finally here! The 2014 #93 paint is now available on Forza Motorsport 5, via the cloud. Look it up on my gamertag, XPR Roadrunner, or search "USCR 93" in the search query.

Enjoy! and #REPRESENT!

We are looking for drivers who are willing to drive one or more stints for the 12hrs of Sebring. We will likely run just one car with 3-4 drivers.

If you are interested and wish to try out, please contact me thru PM on TORA or state your interest on our website: http://xpracing.forumotion.co.uk/t517-12-hours-of-sebring-tec#3787

I should add that XPR members are...

As we begin to look forward to what 2014 will begin to hold for us, it’s a great time to look back, and see what we accomplished in 2013.

We began the year as the first announced team to garner support from a real life manufacturer, after a shortened test season in TORA GT S9 as Serpent Racing. Further testing the car with our new partners at Xtreme Performance Racing,  in TORA GT S10, we had some minor successes, and looked poised to make some big splashes in the TEC Season.

That's right, folks! Virtual SRT Motorsports are back on track to tackle the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife in the grueling 12hr race over at The Online Racing Association!

After an impressive 5-6 finish at Silverstone, where we qualified on the front 2 rows, we are hungry to get that first podium for the Viper.



Back at it again will be VSRT Vets of Cain Piotrowski (XPR ChicaiN), Steve Colgate (XPR Moontower)...

Development of the SRT® Viper GT3-R continues in preparation for the 2014 racing season. Recently, the car hit the track for the first time at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina, with two-time SRT Viper Cup Series champion Ben Keating behind the wheel.



Keating was the first to purchase a GT3-R and has teamed with world-class endurance racer Jeroen Bleekemolen for a full-time run next season in the GT Daytona class with the TUDOR United...

Today marks an exciting day for Xtreme Performance Racing (XPR), Serpent Racing and Xbox Pro League Racing (XPLR), but first, a little background:



Serpent Racing has been the personal team for XPR Roadrunner, and has had various affiliations along the way, currently finding its home at XPR. It has been run on various sites, including winning championships on Formula Forza and TORA.

Then something amazing happened, we were awarded the opportunity to represent Street and Racing Technology (SRT)...

Just a heads up, Serpent Racing will be going thru a slight restructuring. We are still the official home of SRT Motorsports online, and we have some awesome stuff coming your way in the near future.

STAY TUNED!!

After a spectacular 5th place showing at Le Mans in their debut, Virtual SRT Motorsports, with XPR backing has decided to field a second Viper for the remaining TEC races.



XPR Pennzoil will be joined by XP Racing in the SRT sponsored sister car, for what will surely be a race to remember.

Team boss, Stephen Hudec (XPR Roadrunner) was quoted as saying "We really thought we were going to have trouble with...

The SRT^® Viper GT3-R is the direct descendent of the high performance GTS-R GTE class racer campaigned by SRT Motorsports in the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans and the American Le Mans Series. Virtually all of the technology developed by the Chrysler Group for the factory GTS-Rs for engine, chassis, suspension, electronics and aerodynamics is infused into every Viper GT3-R. All of it. It’s your chance to get the knowledge of a factory race program in a 200 mph* striped package....

This year marks the first time the Virtual SRT Viper GTS-R will hit the track at Le Mans.



With some development issues and driver illnesses at Sebring, we feel we can bring the heat come Saturday. For Le Mans, we see nearly a full driver lineup change from that at Sebring, with Koenigsegg, XPR Soundwave and MoonTower1 joining BloodyCain as XPR Roadrunner and XPR Overdrive will be manning the XP Racing Audi R18 this weekend.

II Alex P II and A Mad Dog did a very good job as a team to capture the team's championship!

Plus finishing 2nd and 3rd in the final driver's standings isn't a bad result either!

Congrats guys and lets look forward to next championship!

What a weekend for Serpent Racing! I mean really, what a weekend! Claiming at least one podium in every race entered!

First off In TORA’s Radical Cup #SuperKarts, II Alex P II and A Mad Dog swapped 1-2’s to win both rounds of that afternoon. This moves Serpent Racing into 1st place, with Alex in 1st and AMD in 3rd in the driver’s standings.

In MMTCC Coupes, XPR Roadrunner went from 9th (DNQ) to 3rd by races end, claiming his first podium position in the season opener.

In LLBM V8 Supercars, XPR Venom claimed pole with II Alex P II beside him on the front row in 2nd....

Looking for two drivers, must be committed to the series.

I am very well in-tune with the radical, I pretty much eat, drink, think and sleep Radical (when not drooling on Mopars). I am top 100 on a couple R2 tracks in the Radical and top 200 on the Radical Nordschleife rival event (not a flying lap). I won't be racing but I can coach you if needed.

I have a livery, just PM me if you want to race and I'll get in touch with you.

This weekend capped off the first official season for the Virtual SRT Motorsports crew, with the teams finishing on above expected pace and finishes in the World GT Standings. The real Team bosses are proud and look forward to Le Mans in June.

As a reward we've all been invited over to the Gilles Family residence for dinner!

Spoiler:

XPR Roadrunner dominated the unofficial TORA 2.4hrs of Daytona in the Hemi Powered Riley Chassis (Ultima GTR), lapping the 2nd place car 3 times! Congrats to him.



On the TORA GT side, the Sprint series came to an exciting conclusion with the @drivesrt Viper squads finishing 11th and 23rd in sprint standings, an amazing accomplishment for the FM4 team as they scored above expectations for the season. The GT Endurance season ends this weekend and we will be looking to score some valuable points.

yup, the newly announced SRT Viper TA (Time Attack) just beat the old C6 ZR1 for the production car record at Laguna Seca.

Motortrend updated it's article from December when the Pre-Production SRT Viper GTS went head to head and was beaten by the C6 ZR1 Vette. Ralph Gilles insisted that the 2 second difference from the vette to the Viper was because the ZR1 was using Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (which are semi-slicks) vs the Vipers Pirelli P-Zero Corsas (which aren't).

Motortrend insisted it was because the Viper didn't handle well enough despite the two tire models.
