GT3 racing is fabulous, but running at the 'front end' with so many competitive cars has now become very expensive in terms of the initial team set up and race by race running costs. Whilst thrilling to drive and impressive to listen to and look at, the current crop of cars are becoming ever more complex and costly to run, with life on the major units such as the engine and gearboxes becoming shorter and the numbers getting bigger. Sadly, these large initial costs may well result in fewer and fewer people having the  privilege to experience the thrill of racing GT3 cars.

Thankfully however, Silverstone Auctions are very happy to offer a well proven and refined 2008 Dodge Viper GT3 that is accompanied by a truly comprehensive spares package including a spare engine with 0 miles on the unit. What makes this staggering, is that the car with the additional engine and a large quantity of spares is being offered at a guide price of £25-£30k. Whilst, yes this is not a current GT3 car, but with those current spec cars fetching £300k plus before spares and actual running costs, what better chance for a new team to 'dip a toe in the water' of this ever popular and iconic racing scene.

Highly respected professional racing driver, Aaron Scott, has developed and raced this car with rapid gentleman driver/owner, Craig Wilkins, for the last five seasons in both British GT and Dutch Supercar. The car's specification has evolved throughout and it's been kept updated and professionally maintained by Midlands based 'GT3 Racing' regardless of cost.

The 8.4-litre engine boasts Motec engine management (with traction control) and a full aero spec Motorsport wiring loom, Bosch Motorsport adjustable ABS, AP racing brakes and an 'Emco' sequential gearbox.

The car was a race winner in British GT during the 2009 season, and went on to win the Britcar Endurance Championship in 2011. Since then it has been a regular front runner in the Dutch Supercar series, finishing second in class during 2014.

Eligible for GT Cup, Britcar, V de V and Dutch Supercar, it has to be one of the best value GT3 cars available to buy today and a great opportunity to get involved in 'proper' motor racing.
