Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT

Information

After taking delivery of 1061, JLOC began campaigning the car in Japan’s legendary Super GT championship. Whilst its racing life in Super GT is believed to be extensive, success largely eluded the JLOC team. In the most part this was because its rivals were in the most part silhouette GT cars developed by the might of Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Then in 2009 chassis 1061 was solely responsible for bringing JLOC and Lamborghini their only championship win in the GT1 era when the chassis won the inaugural Asian Le Mans Series’. Not only did 1061 bring Lamborghini a championship win, it also gave Lamborghini the opportunity to go back to Le Mans in 2010 as a prize for their title. 1061 concluded the Asian Le Mans series with 2 podiums including a class win at Okayama 1000km with their all-Japanese driver lineup. For their subsequent Le Mans effort JLOC elected to use a sister chassis, 1063.

After its racing days concluded, 1061 was kept by JLOC until some years ago when it was acquired by a Dutch collector to join his collection of iconic GT racers. In recent years it was then purchased by it’s current owner, who wished to use this incredible car on the road. And so 1061 was entrusted to the renowned historic motorsport team BBM Sport for conversion into the incredible road car you see today. This road car conversion is not a permanent change, and a mere two weeks of work are all that is required to return it to full track specification, ready to compete once again against its former rivals in a series such as the popular Endurance Racing Legends
