MG to test at Silverstone

Release Immediate May 17, 2001

MG LOLA EX257 LE MANS SPORTS CAR TESTS
OVERNIGHT AT MAGNY COURS

More than fifty laps of overnight testing at Magny Cours (May 8/9) have largely solved the problems that impeded official testing of the all-new MG Lola EX257 sports car at
Le Mans.

Frank Dernie, chief engineer at Lola Cars International said: "We traced the cause of our problems at Le Mans to an ignition irregularity. In its first overnight test, the car
has functioned well and the drivers have become more acclimatised to its speed."

"Unlike Formula 1, we’re trying to achieve effective fuel economy and reliability rather than just a few good fast laps."

Anthony Reid notched up the first laps with the MG Lola in darkness as the team sought to evaluate the car in night running mode. Headlamp performance and their
directional visibility were evaluated, while tyre wear and fuel usage were monitored.

The intensive test programme continues at Silverstone on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23, 2001, with only a month remaining till Le Mans.



Anyone going to the test session at Silverstone?
I will be perhaps be going on Wednesday!

MG have changed their test schedule and forgot to inform the media!!
No testing at Silverstone after all, apparently they were at Snetterton yesterday, and are behind closed doors at MIRA today!!
