Saleen S7Rs racing in 2006

Oreca has returned to GT racing with the Saleen S7R. Oreca had a lot of success running Viper GTS-Rs several years ago.

The-Paddock.net

2/16/2006

According to the Italian newspaper, SportAutoMoto, Konrad Motorsport will be entering two Saleen S7-R's in the 12 Hours of Sebring. Paolo Ruberti and Robert Lechner will join Saleen veteran Terry Borcheller in the team's lead S7-R. The second entry will be driven by Tom Weickardt, Jean-Phillope Belloc and a third driver that has yet to be announced. In addition to their Sebring entry, it is thought that both of Franz's Saleens may compete in the full ALMS Schedule. Konrad joins Aston Martin Racing and Corvette as GT1 entrants for Sebring.

Soheil Ayari has been named to join Stephan Ortelli at the wheel of the Oreca Saleen S7R at the 1000 Kilometers at Spa (May 13-14).

"Since this beginning of season, Soheil drove the car which already gained 2 victories in Championship of France" explains Hugues de Chaunac. "He knows how to exploit its potential, while being integrated perfectly into our team as he drove in Formula 3000 and in Le Mans in a Viper. He is thus a perfect partner for Stephan Ortelli."

Ortelli and Ayari turned laps yesterday at Magny-Course in order to as well as possible prepare for LMS/Spa which will be held on the prestigious circuit of the Belgian Ardennes.

Sascha Bert and Jarek Janis finished 2nd in the first round of the FIA GT Championship at Silverstone in their # 9 Zakspeed S7R. They pitted just twice during the 3 hour race.

The track was wet at the start, but dried up for the 3 hour race.
