Saturday late afternoon the Lola-Aston Martin of Charouz Racing had its first run at Prodrive’s proving ground in Warwickshire, England. Jan Charouz was the driver behind the wheel and the test was labelled as positive. The Lola was seen in its raw carbon look still awaiting its final decoration before the season. Thanks to Prodrive for the pictures.

    Hopefully this will be an Audi and Peugeot beater

  5. Hope the car makes it over for Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca. Maybe it will be an Audi and Porsche beater.

  7. When i was at Le Mans in 2004, i came to recognize all the sounds for diffrent cars. So hearing an aston martin engine then seeing a lola go by will be something special.

    Petit will be an option i suppose but it all depends on how much backing Charouz Racing will get from, Aston Martin, Prodrive, lola and other sponsors.
    My only concern is the teams history for development. Maybe an idle team such as Team LNT with great car development would have been a better choice but who cares…

    LOLA - ASTON wow
