Would have been nice to see this car alongside the BMW V12 LMR in the BMW Prototype series and the other early LMPs.

Riley & Scott MKIII / MKIII C (1995 - 2005)



  • Riley & Scott MKIII - V8 Oldsmobile aurora 5.0 L (1995 - 2001)

  • Riley & Scott MKIII C - V8 Elan 6.0 L (2001 - 2005)

  • Riley & Scott MKIII C - V8 Ford Yates 6.0 L (2001 - 2005)

In 1995, the company decide to develope a world sportscar for the imsa GT Championship, codenamed MKIII.
The MKIII went on to win the 24h of Daytona several times. In 1996 with an Oldsmobile engine, then in '97 and '98 with a Ford engine.
It continued to race in the ALMS until 2001, before giving way to its evolution, the MKIII C.
At the dawn of the 2000s, and after developing the Corvette C5-R and the Cadillac Northstar LMP, R&C decided to give its MKIII a new look to enable it to continue racing under the new name MKIII C.
The new car was raced in the ALMS in 2001 by the Dyson team, then in the 24h of Le Mans in 2002 and 2003 by Riley & Scott racing.
The MKIII C’s career ended in 2005 with a few races in the American Le Mans Series with the Autocon motorsports team.

The MKIII and MKIII C will be seen in America and Europe, with several participations in the 24h of Le Mans and several podium finishies in both Rolex series and ALMS !

In fact, during the MKIII & MKIII C’s career, several different engine blocks were used: V8 Ford / V8 Ford-Mader / V8 Oldsmobile Aurora / V8 Chevrolet / V8 BMW and even the V10 Judd GV4.

Even today, it’s possible to see several MKIIIs and MKIII Cs racing in historic events !

  • Why have it on forza motorsport ?

Bob and Bill Riley are big names in motorsport, and it would be great to have this manufacturer in Forza.
It would be another open prototype that would fit well into the “Early LMP” class.
It’s also a car with an incredible sound.


Three vidéos from youtube to see the MKIII and MKIII C in action !

Thanks for reading. :slightly_smiling_face:

Oops sorry, I must be blind, because I’ve looked and there are plenty of cars I’ve already voted for but I hadn’t seen the one I posted. :face_with_peeking_eye:
