Lola get set for Le Mans 24 Hours

Today’s Le Mans 24 Hours will see ten Lola designed and built sports cars take the start for the world’s toughest endurance event.

At 14.20pm local time, a modern version of the classic Le Mans start will be re-created where drivers are set to run to their cars to form the dummy grid. At 15.00 the race will begin with 55 cars of 4 different classes battling it out on the famous and challenging 8.72-mile circuit.

Conditions for the race are expected to be dry but warm up this morning was held in damp conditions and many cars suffered excursions due to the treacherous track surface.

Rebellion Racing successfully completed laps with the re-built #13 Lola Rebellion. Jean Christophe Boullion and Guy Smith took part in the session and it will be Frenchman starting the LMP1 Coupe in the race this afternoon.
