Looking at photos of the car in prep (on DSC) I'm again struck by how small the LMP2 Lola seems. The Speedy car for some reason looks like a smaller package than its Charouz LMP1 stablemate, which I'm sure is an optical illusion but odd none the less. Perhaps something to do with how vertical the A pillars are?

Next year in LMP2 could be really interesting - especially with a crack squad like RML having their '09 car on the track already and with potentially a degree of fading away of the Porsche effort. I'll also be fascinated to see if the B08/60 or variants thereof end up being practically the UK's best selling car - there could be lots and lots of them around next year.
Could you please post a pic of it, or maybe a link?

Would really love to their new baby

Thank you!

Daily Sportscar (www.dailysportscar.com) cover it extensively with pictures - it's due to be 'unvieled' and get its shakedown later today at Snetterton when I'd expect there to be an official announcement.

Allright Thank you. About time to get that sub renewed, it is a sweet site.

Dying to see that RML coupe

Great news! We've know a few coupes have been sold so RML was always one of the 'possible'.

Just called in at Snet and the new MG Lola Coupe is testing - looks good. Also at the circuit are Strakka with their Aston and BMW, Radical and a new Zytech - not sure who is driving that but they are using the Ginetta transporter - will be going back later to ge tmore info.
Will load pictures of the new Lola MG

When you say the Radical is there - is that the ECO car?

I know they haven't appeared on the entry list on the LMS site but suspect that list could go through quite a bit of alteration.

Always nice to get something from some eyes on the ground!

The Zytek presumably must be the Corsa car?

It is white, you are thinking of the ex-Arena car?

"MG" through their parent company, Shanghai Automotive, footed the bill for the AER based powerplant in the RML Lola - which probably goes some way towards explaining the MG branding.

I also seem to remember that RML had some sort of connection with MG's aftermarket parts and tuning business (X-Power?) which drove a lot of the connection historically.

Is this one of the update kits I read about on here a while back rather than an all new car then?
Superb pics of a gorgeous looking car BTW.

Not sure if Zytek was factory - I tried getting back to to the track this afternoon but work got in the way of pleasure !! They were up the far end of the pits and did not walk that far this morning but it came in a large "orange" Ginetta transporter !!
