Even this attributes characterize the misson of JLOC for Le Mans. Since the early 70´s the Japanese team has a steady connection with the Italian maufacturer in racing business. 2007 they can celebrate again an entry for the 24 hours at the Sarthe. But this time, JLOC acomplish their effort in their own response, but uses two constants from last year. First, the driver line up will stay the same. Marco Apicella, Koji Yamanishi und Yasutoka Hinoi will share the steering wheel of the JLOC Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT.

Also no changes with the used racing car. The GT1 Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT passed through the Le Mans pre tests and the race iitself n 2006, but unluckily had to retire after a little bit more than 22 hours with an engine failure.
Directly after the event, the chassis had been shipped to Japan, to take part in the Okayama race of the Japan Le Mans Series. Pole Position and GT1 class win was the result of the effort. And it was still the same package like in Le Mans!

Now JLOC heads back to Le Mans, where the pre test sessions will go ahead this weekend. The team will count on the resistence of the Murciélago, which has raced the pre tests and race 2006 and the JLMC race without revision of the package. If the car will succed in this years race and finish after 24 hours, it will have nearly 14.000 km at the tachometer.
