RML's 2004 MG-Lola sportscar was one of the stars of the show at the 2007 Brit-Car Rally at Wicksteed Park, Kettering, on Sunday (September 9).
The Wellingborough-based racing and automotive specialists brought an immaculate EX257 chassis to event, which competed in the 2004 Le Mans 24 Hours and Le Mans Endurance Series.
Crowds flocked to have their picture taken with the car, with many lucky youngsters and adults taking the opportunity to sit in the high-tech cockpit confines of the endurance racer.
They were also able to pick up some RML goodies, with information cards, stickers and posters for bedroom walls and memorabilia collections proving extremely popular for people of all ages.
The event, which is organised by a group of motoring enthusiasts, saw cars from famous British marques like MG, Jaguar and TVR help to raise money for Make a Wish Foundation UK.
The Brit Car Rally set the scene for the start of a big week for RML. The sportscar team is heading for the world-famous Silverstone circuit next weekend with its MG-Lola EX264 chassis, and hoping to clinch the 2007 Le Mans Series LMP2 Championship at this historic venue.
Together with drivers Mike Newton and Thomas Erdos, the team have won the previous two races at Nurburgring, Germany, and Spa-Franchorchamps, Belgium, and have a seven point lead in the rankings over the French ASM Team.
Tickets for the 1000km of Silverstone are available from www.silverstone.co.uk, so come along and help cheer RML to victory.
