Martin Brundle and John Nielsen were paired in the No.1 Jaguar XJ-R9 LM to contest the 1988 Le Mans 24 Hours. Built from an XJR-9, the special "LM" cars were carefully prepared at the headquarters of Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) in Kidlington, England. Built alongside the No.2 and No.3 factory entries, No.1 might have been the odds on favorite to win, being the same chassis that won three of the four rounds of the 1988 World Sportscar Championship season!
