5ZIGEN @ Le Mans

Did you watch Le Mans 24h race on TV?

A lucky guy in 5ZIGEN Japan experienced the 24-hour race this year. The name of the guy is Tatsuya Zushi. He went to Le Mans with JLOC (Japan Lamborghini Owners Club) as a mechanic. Team 5ZIGEN has been maintaining JLOC's race cars for Super GT last two years. Because of this, Tatsuya was selected as special helper for JLOC's Le Mans project.

Tatsuya has been participating US time attacks every year since 2006. So, some of readers of this blog might see him at Buttonwillow or Fontana. I like to share some pictures he sent to us.

Views of Le Mans - people from all over the world gathered and enjoyed the race weekend.

Where is Tatsuya? - A video footage of pit-work of JLOC I found in YouTube
5ZIGEN supplies ARD racing gears and mechanic gears to JLOC.

Unfortunately, JLOC Murcielago retired due to the transmission trouble happened on the 15th hours. Tatsuya is in Malaysia now (!!) for Super GT Sepang round. Now, he maintains JLOC's Super GT Gallardo. I like to share his personal Le Mans story on this blog later.

Happy wonderful Father's Day!!
