and she looks pretty good. She's set to run in 2 ALMS races, on top of Le Mans, and the LMS series :)

Not only does she look pretty good, she will be pretty good. The Charouz run Aston powered Lola, which is darn near identical to this one, did really well last year. Incidentally, I think despite its being called the "factory team" for Le Mans, I suspect it pretty much will be run by the Charouz crew.

The Lola-Aston's built on a proven chassis powered by a Aston Martin V12 (the one that's also in the DBR9). In fact, the combination was so good that Charouz run cars were fastest non-diesel cars, being pipped by the Audis and Peugeots which enjoy great advantage in fuel mileage (and enormous factory support). But with rumors of increasing restriction on the diesels, Aston Martin might have a chance this year for outright victory.

The team suffered a setback on the afternoon of day one when the 007 car suffered an accident with Czech driver Tomas Enge at the wheel. Although the car sustained heavy damage, Enge walked away uninjured from the accident.

With antics like this, we'll see Audi win again.
