Lola took an historic double class win at Barcelona over the weekend. The Lola-Aston Martin of Stefan Mucke/Jan Charouz and Tomas Enge took the overall Barcelona 1000kms win while the Racing Box entered Lola B08/80 took the LMP2 spoils. It was the first time that a constructor has won both classes in an LMS race since the series inception in 2004.
Lola sportscars did not confine their achievements to Europe either. In the American Le Mans Series, Dyson Racing took both their Lola LMP2 cars to 2nd and 3rd place at St Petersburg, Florida and Intersport Racing grabbed 2nd in LMP1, ensuring that six visits to the podium were achieved during one of Lola’s most successful racing weekends.
Lola now sit at the top of both the Constructors points tables with a maximum 12 points in LMP1 and 17 points in LMP2.
Reliable and customer friendly, Lola LMP cars also proved to be blisteringly fast, taking the race's fastest lap. In LMP2, the brand new Racing Box Lola-Judd claimed pole position despite completing just one flying lap at the very end of the session.
In the second round of the ALMS both Dyson Racing Lola-Mazda’s eclipsed the Fernandez Acura in outright speed with faster race laps.
