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!! :D
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.

Radio Le Mans said they were ripping bits from a road car hours before the race, which doesnt boad too well.

Has the JLOC entry ever got anywhere at le amsn ?

With teh Jap LMS series, they would have to keep some form of Japenesse entry.

Am I right in thinking Lamborghini never have much luck at LeMans?

Lambo don't have a great record at Le Mans, and... they don't have much of a history of success in any kind of motorsport.

Appears that JLOC have entered 2 cars in the Asian Le Mans series  ::) does this mean they are taking it a little more seriously now  ;)

This is the one shot I got of it at Le mans this year in qualifying



Hope that with 2 cars in the frame they might end up managing two laps......
