Well that's what they called it. It's an LMP 675 running a 2L engine. They are calling it an MG/Lola.

They go about the same number of miles between services, though.

Banana Joe's, not sure what they are, restaurants maybe. They ran two cars Sunday and won their class, Clint Field.




Love the Island Party thing.

MG and Bentley share components for their Le Mans racers.

Swells65.....I think you may be confused. It is Audi and Bentley that share components. Actually, the Bentley is an evolution of the earlier hard-top Audi and explores a different approach in aerodynamics.


The MG is also in a different class LMP 675 as opposed to Audi's LMP 900.
