Murciélago grabs 3rd
Lamborghini make history in Spanish FIA GT race
The Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT entered the history books last weekend with the first ever podium finish for a Lamborghini in an international motor racing event. The Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT finished 3rd at the FIA GT championship in Valencia, Spain.
The Murciélago R-GT has been developed over an intensive nine-month period, which has taken the car from the drawing board to a podium finish.
It was developed jointly with race engineering company Reiter Engineering in Germany and made extensive use of the expertise of parent company Audi’s sports division Audi Sport.

Did the Diablo only race in a single series then?
not quite - there have been a few privateers enter in the past in the pre Prosche and Merc GT1 days (early 90's)...but like the XJ220s they didnt do all that well! Aside from that single series only.
dunno why no-one ever fiddled around with a diablo GTR-R, but then Im not sure how many of those were ever made or where they ended up.
