This Countach is the very first JLOC car used for the JGTC/Super GT Competition. The project began by JLOC member Teruaki Terai who wanted to do some racing in a Lamborghini car. In 1993, Terai acquired a burned-out Countach to be built into race car for the still-new All-Japan GT Championship in 1994. By the spring of '94, the car was not finished and planned to missed the first race at Fuji Speedways. But the race organizers, hearing the news of a Countach racing in the JGTC, requested the JLOC team to enter the Fuji event. Talks begin with exotic car dealer Art Sports for a Countach the team can race in. The car was mostly stock other than minor modification with a new rear wing, suspension/tire changes and safety upgrades. The engine is a V12 of 5,167 cc and four valves per cylinder (QV).
It was equipped with six vertical Weber 44 DCNF carburettors. The adoption of this group of carburettors, which was housed under a 'hump' of the engine hood, further reduced the already poor visibility. The engine delivered 455 hp and a torque of 501 Nm which made the car reach 300 km/h. The JLOC Countach competed in all 5 races of the 1994 JGTC season and the next year the car was replaced by the famed Diablo. Today JLOC still competes in Lamborghinis in the now named Super GT series.
I upgraded this Countach with a new 6-speed sequential gearbox.
The simulator is Forza Horizon 5 for Xbox One.
I hope you like the video of this race and that you subscribe to my channel.
Have fun, bye ;)
