- The Lamborghini Murciélago claimed its first ever race win at the weekend when Marco Apicella and Yasutaka Hinoi raced to victory in the GT300 class of the Japanese Super GT series at Suzuka.
Rounding out an excellent day for the much-maligned Italian machine, the second Team JLOC entry, driven by Koji Yamanishi and Wada-Q finished, was classified fifth in GT300 although it retired on the final lap. At this point it had been lying in second place with the team cruising towards a 1-2 finish.
After an uncompetitive 2005 season in the Japanese sportscar championship when the Team JLOC (Japanese Lamborghini Owners' Club) Murciélago R-GT flailed around in the larger GT500 class, for 2006 the fearsome machine has been homologated as the Murciélago RG-1 into the smaller GT300 class, and at a stroke its fortunes have been transformed. |
