Best Viper issue yet but confused?

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Just read thru the latest Viper magazine, Summer 2010, and Maurice Liang has a great article on the lucky current owner of the restored Oreca GTSR no. 51. It goes on to say this car was originally the no 91 but he chose to return it to the no. 51. Also in the magazine is a photo of the 91 which has been at the Walter Chrysler museum for quite some time now. There was only one 91 to my knowledge so can someone sort this all out for me?

Also ask him why he has a new yellow Camero against the wall in the garage picture that is suppose to be all Vipers?

It was a 3 car factory team so there must have been more than 1 of them built at that time...

I thought the French Oreca three car team consisted of Nos 91, 92, and 93 racing in the American Le mans series. Then when the cars went over to France for the 24 Hours of Le mans, the ACO required the numbers of the cars changed to 51, 52 AND 53

Then when the cars returned for the final races of the season the numbers reverted back to the 90 numbers

To the best of my knowledge there were two 91 cars. There are even two different Autoart models with 91.

This must answer the question then and Fatboy is correct. Thanks
