It did not take long for news of RML's move towards the Lola Coupé for its on-going Le Mans sports prototype programme to break cover yesterday. Within minutes of the unexpected appearance of the newly uprated MG Lola EX265C at Snetterton, photographs and comments were already appearing widely across the Internet.

 

The car's build had been kept a tight secret ever since the team made the decision to follow this route, with even experienced industry-watchers expressing surprise at confirmation that the sleek coupé would be RML AD Group's LMP2 contender for the final round of this season's Le Mans Series at Silverstone. It was not the choice, perhaps, that raised eyebrows, but the timing and the successful secrecy.

 

Full details of the thoughts behind the decision, as well as a report on Wednesday's successful shake-down test, are featured on the team's website. High resolution images may also be downloaded from the site. Please click on the banner below, or choose one of these two direct links:
