About the Dodge Viper GTS-R #61 Team Oreca S. Ayari / P. Gache 24 Hours of Le Mans 1997 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:43 diecast reproduces the #61 Dodge Viper GTS-R run by Team Oreca and driven by Ayari and Gache at the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. It is a used model, box showing traces of storage, casting itself intact.

Oreca fielded multiple Vipers at Le Mans in 1997, and this #61 car ran alongside its #62 sister entry, giving a collector the chance to display an entire team effort rather than a single isolated car.

Minichamps Casting of the #61 Oreca Viper

The Viper GTS-R's wide-bodied GT proportions are shared across Oreca's entries from this season, and the #61 livery's number and sponsor graphics apply with clean, legible registration against the body color. The sealed zinc alloy casting keeps the flared fenders and rear wing crisply defined, with paint depth reading evenly across the hood and doors under a display lamp. This is a used example, and the box shows traces of storage while the model itself carries no equivalent wear.

Oreca's Multi-Car Le Mans Effort

Running multiple entries at Le Mans was a common strategy for privateer teams looking to maximize their chances of a class result, and Oreca's Viper program in 1997 reflected that approach with several liveried cars on the grid. Ayari and Gache's pairing in this #61 car formed part of that broader effort, competing against both factory and privateer GT rivals across the full 24-hour distance.

Pairing This Viper with Its Sister Entry

Displayed alongside the #62 Oreca Viper from the same race, this model completes a two-car team representation that tells a fuller story of Oreca's 1997 Le Mans campaign than either car could alone. This is a natural pairing for a Le Mans GT-focused shelf.
