The JLOC car did not turn many laps at Le Mans so this is quite a rare shot....
And - it can travel just as fast backwards as forwards!!
That's a historic Italian trait.
BUT - you have to give them credit for a wonderfully sounding engine. When they were working on the electronic (ECU) problem that had them so pitifully down on power, they at one time revved the engine to max in the garage ... and KEPT it there for 10 seconds or more - several times. (and we were sitting almost directly above their pit)
However, already before the race the team owner decided to only parade around the first lap and call it a day, as the engine management problems made them dangerously slower than the fastest cars.
Tortoise or not - personally I will hope they get the car going (as it actually has done fairly successfully in 4 hour races at Suzuka) - I love the sound and shape of that car.
