"Racing is Part of the Saleen Corporate DNA" - Steve Saleen
 
   We race today because racing is part and parcel of the Saleen corporate DNA.
 We’ve raced and won championships with our Mustangs since the beginning and
 the S7 was conceived to combine the performance of a track-only race car with the
 driving pleasure of a road car.
 
   Unlike most exotic supercars, the Saleen S7 racing version, the S7R, has already
 proven itself on the international motor sports stage. During the past five years,
 the racing version has been on pole and set fastest race lap more than 60 times
 and has won nearly 60 races around the world. This incredible record includes
 capturing seven GT Manufacturers’ championships and GT Drivers’ championships,
 winning the grueling 12 Hours of Sebring and setting a new track record at the
 famed 24 Hours of Le Mans.

   During the past 20 years Saleen has won eight Manufacturers’ Championships in
 GT sports car racing and several Drivers’ Championships as well. Currently, the
 S7R competes in the European Le Mans Series LMES, campaigned by
 Saleen/Oreca, sponsored by Playstation and driven by Stephane Ortelli and Soheil
 Ayari and in the French GT Series FFSA sponsored by Anaveo and driven by Bruno
 Hernandez and Soheil Ayari.
 

    The S7R competes in the FFSA series, campaigned by Protek and driven by Dominique Dupuy and Francois Fiat . Campaigning in the
 FIA GT series, the Zakspeed S7R is driven by Sasha Bert and Jarek Janis. Europe Saleen S7Rs continue to win poles, set fastest race laps
 and win races in the highly competitive FIA GT, FFSA and LMES Championships.
 
   IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 19, 2001 – Earlier this year, Steve Saleen made the difficult decision to support a customer car program instead of a
 factory effort in the inaugural race season for his new American supercar, the Saleen S7R. Not even Saleen, whose firm has won five
 straight GTS Manufacturers’ Championships (‘96-‘00) with his high-performance Saleen Mustangs, could have anticipated the incredible
 results of the 2001 race season.
 
   When Carlos Palau won the Spanish FIA GT Championship last weekend, it was the fourth Drivers’ and second Manufacturers’ and Team
 Championships this year for Saleen Motorsports and the beautiful new Saleen S7Rs.
 
   With four Saleen customer teams entered in four series around the world, the Saleen S7R customer teams have set 29 poles and 27
 fastest laps and won 19 out of 32 races this season -- quite possibly the finest inaugural race season for any marque in history.
 
   After debuting at Laguna Seca last year, the Saleen S7R scored its first victory in March at Homestead in the first Grand-Am race of the
 season. Driving Park Place Racing’s S7R, Chris Bingham literally dominated the Grand-Am Rolex Series: GTS pole-sitter in all nine races,
 class winner of seven and the Grand-Am GTS Drivers’ Champion.
 
   Two weeks after Bingham’s first win, Konrad Motorsports’ Saleen S7R scored a major victory over the factory Corvettes in the 12 Hours of
 Sebring. Terry Borcheller and Franz Konrad went on to challenge the Goliaths from General Motors throughout the entire American Le Mans
 Series (ALMS) with Borcheller winning the ALMS GTS Drivers’ Championship in the season-ending Petit Le Mans. The championship was his
 third in four years as a Saleen factory driver.
 
   A fourth Saleen S7R competed by Ray Mallock, one of Saleen’s technical partners in the development of the supercar, and driven by Ian
 McKellar won the Team, Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ Championships in the European Le Mans Series GTS class
 
   A high-performance vehicle manufacturer for 19 years, Saleen introduced the S7, the first true American supercar, at the famed
 Monterey Historic Races in August of last year. Less than three months later, the first S7R racecar performed admirably in its inaugural
 race at the same Laguna Seca circuit. The Saleen S7R’s 7-liter racing V8 generates 600 horsepower and is capable of speeds in excess of
 200 miles per hour. With its extreme ground effects engineering, the car could be driven upside down at 160 mph and still stay attached
 to the road.
 
   Saleen was crowned the SCCA World Challenge Champions in 1996-1998, while an ex-Le Mans Saleen SR won the Spanish FIA GT in
 1999. Last year, Saleen swept the Grand-Am GTO Championships winning the Team, Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ titles. This season’s
 remarkable success with the S7R makes this the sixth straight GTS Manufacturers’ Championship for Saleen Motorsports!
