I remember that car. Wasn’t fast or reliable for that matter. I believe West Racing and Gulf Racing were the only operators of the car besides Reiter. Reiter ran the car at Spa LMS one year from memory, Gulf ran the car in at least one race (????) with no success and then we had West Racing in ALMS as stated earlier.

JLOC were a bunch of amateurs with a small budget and a driver lineup that was lacking compared to Corvette and Aston. Were Lamborghini return to Le Mans with a purpose built GTE Huracan run by Grasser it would no doubt be a lot more competitive.
