Mike Newton and Tommy Erdos will lead RML MG-Lola's defence of the 2007 Le Mans Series LMP2 title as the duo continue their partnership with the team for a fifth-successive year.
The pair will be joined for the Le Mans 24 Hours by sportscar great Andy Wallace. The trio will be again aiming to win the LMP2 class of the endurance classic, after their victory in 2006. Warren Hughes was RML MG-Lola's third driver in 2005, when the squad also won their category.
RML, Newton and Erdos won the 2007 LMS title with victories at Spa and Nurburgring, as well as strong points finishes at Monza and Silverstone.
Ray Mallock, RML Group Chief Executive, said: "We are delighted to be again working with Mike and Tommy for the fifth successive season in LMS, and Andy at Le Mans for the third-year running. Together they are one of the most experienced and respected line-ups in international sportscar racing, and I'm sure that they will again prove to be a formidable force in 2008 as we aim to defend the LMP2 Championship in LMS, and regain the LMP2 class victory at La Sarthe."
