The Aston Martin name will return to the front rank of sportscar racing this year. Charouz Racing Systems which campaigned a Lola LMP1 in the LMS and at Le Mans last year will return with a Prodrive assisted Lola B08/60 LMP1 Coupe. Powering the car will be a GT1 derived Aston Martin derived V12 engine. It is possible that the car will make its race debut at Sebring in March.

Lola has put in more than 12 months of research, design and aerodynamic testing at its technical base in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England.

Utilising significant upgrades in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and windtunnel equipment, Lola is the first constructor to get a customer LMP Coupe on to the track.
