Lola's
LMP2 (and by that, we mean all the iterations by that B05, 06, 07, 08,
etc., open or closed top) has evolved since its introduction in 2005.
At the core the chassis has remained fundamentally the same,
even
as it evolved into the closed top B08 in 2008. The
Lola is
the standard bearer for the privateer LMP2 competitors and always
nipping at the heels of the factory backed efforts.
