Description[]
The Riley & Scott Mk III is a sports prototype race car designed by Riley & Scott Cars Inc. for use in endurance racing. Designed by Bob and Bill Riley, Mark Scott, John Roncz and Mark Pasarelli, the chassis was designed to meet IMSA's 1994 World Sportscar regulations. The Mk III is notable as being able to accept a wide variety of engines, having been designed as such; all cars used a 5-speed transmission. The cars raced in the IMSA GT Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans with success, with Mk IIIs winning the 24 Hours of Daytona three times in a row and three consecutive drivers' championships among other plaudits. Riley & Scott stopped development of the Mk III in 1998, although Mk IIIs competed until 2002, with derivatives competing until 2005. Seventeen chassis were produced in total, along with five upgraded "Series 2" chassis and five Mk III C chassis for LMP900 regulations.
