Team JLOC prepares Lamborghini Murci?lago R-GT for racing

The Japanese Lamborghini Owners Club (JLOC) is preparing to return to the JGTC series with its Lamborghini Murci?lago R-GT.Following delivery of the original pre-production car earlier this year, JLOC took the decision to test the R-GT in a JGTC race. The team now intends to compete in JGTC rounds and has decided to prepare its pre-production car to its full race potential.

JLOC?s Murci?lago R-GT is back with development house Reiter Engineering in Germany, in order that the chassis and engine may be prepared to the R-GT?s current race specification. The car will return to the track for the fifth round of the JGTC at Twin Ring Motegi, September 3 ? 5th, and the team will be joined by a number of mechanics from Reiter Engineering to support JLOC for this race weekend.
The privateer team is headed by one of the team?s founders, Masahiko Mearashi, and Japanese Lamborghini Owners? Club president Isao Noritake.
It is very exciting to see two Japanese teams contesting the JGTC with the new Lamborghini Murci?lago R-GT,? commented Manfred Fitzgerald of Automobili Lamborghini. ?The spirit and enthusiasm of the JLOC team reflects the enthusiasm for the Lamborghini marque in Japan, and there will no doubt be a substantial following for the car in the JGTC.?.
