Last time the CLK GTR competed?

Does anybody know when the last time the CLK GTR was in an actual race?

Thanks.

For the CLK- GTR (V-12) it was the last race of FIA GT Championship 1997 in October 1997 at Laguna Seca, Bernt Schneider won the Championship

For the CLK-LM (V8) that would also be Laguna Seca October 25th 1998 when Klaus Ludwig sewed up the 1998 FIA GT Championship.

For the CLR...it was withdrawn from the 1999 Le Mans race after flipping.

the demise of the Mercedes at LeMans

Thought you guys might be interesting in seeing the event that signaled the end of the LeMans program. It's amazing that no one was hurt - except for some trees.

Dumbreck's wild ride - click on the top picture

I remember seeing that on ESPN a few years ago. I also have that video on my PC.

Thanks
