This
website is dedicated to information and coverage
of RML AD Group's sports prototype project, competing
in the international Le Mans Series, the Le Mans
24 Hours and other major motorsports events.
With
support from the AD Group of companies, RML introduced
their sportscar programme in 2003. Six full seasons
have followed, with Mike Newton and Thomas Erdos
campaigning with great success, including two
class wins in the Le Mans 24 Hours (2005 &
2006) and the LMP2 title in the 2007 Le Mans Series.
Between 2003 and 2008 the team raced with MG,
starting with the EX257, following on with the
Judd-engined EX264 in 2005 - a direct development
of the EX257 - and then the MG EX264 in 2006.
Employing an AER turbocharged 2-litre engine,
the EX264 took RML to a second consecutive class
win at Le Mans and a string of six unbeaten qualifying
poles. In 2007 Mike, Tommy and RML claimed the
LMP2 drivers' and team titles in the Le Mans Series.
The updated MG Lola EX265 was introduced in 2008,
culminating in the launch of the 265 Coupé
in September. At the end of 2008 the link with
MG was finally broken, and the team ran a Mazda
engine in 2009. In 2010 a new era of partnership
with Honda Performance Development (HPD) Inc begins.
