JLOC's Le Mans auto invite

[The Badger]

He was probably being soft cuz of the lack of Asian entries .

Anyway , Im starting to feel a well done to JLOC . As said above , they were the most consistant GT1 of the weekend , and whoever would have thought that !!!

Entry was won fair and square , however the ACO need to have a stiff word with certain folk . Im sure their next effort will be better than thair last 3 .

Cant wait to see what they have up their sleeve , cuz I believe their curant GT1 chassis is illegal and a class change (LMP) would nulify their won entry . And I dont believe one of their Lambo chassis is good enough for La Sarthe either .. nor do most if your honest !!!

So , If they dont go with a GT1 chassis , they might not be there , cuz I also cant see the ACO letting in a Lambo/LMP thats anything to do with JLOC unless its proves its point beforehand .

Why on earth should the ACO be 'minded to refuse' JLOC an entry because of the 2009 situation?

After all, Racing Box appeared this year after 2008..!

The racing box incident was out of racing box's hands, the 2009 incident with jloc was all there own doing.

You are right, I have found a reference in French to #68 being ex-Reiter. I guess chassis 011 has finally been put, rightfully, to pasture.

How so? Racing Box arrived at Le Mans with a car they knew didn't have the correct paperwork. The background to that - and why, exactly, the technical issues and subsequent spat between the team and constructor originated - don't affect the lack of documentation.

No-one denies JLOC's participation in 2009 was awful; through their Okayama performance they have earned a place by ACO rules.

If I remember rightly they were awaiting a response (or a fix) on the matter from Lucchini, which never arrived. I don't think you can blame Racing Box on that one.

Racing Box were promised by Lucchini that the paperwork would be submitted to the ACO on time, but once Racing Box arrived at the circuit i believe Lucchini demanded a rather large sum of money from Racing Box for the paperwork to be submitted, effectively Lucchini were blackmailing Racing Box.

In short: Italian practices
