For 2009 Lola have taken another step forward with our new LMP2 coupe model, which claimed a sensational second place on its debut. The first customer car of its type, the B09/80 allows privateers to exploit the coupe format’s performance in a package built around proven components and design features, and engineered for easy conversion to LMP1 specification. Customer teams are invited to make use of our F1-standard wind tunnel, seven-post test rig, and other state-of-the-art facilities to undertake bespoke development programmes. Lola are also available to support factory LMP2 efforts such as the Mazda and Acura ALMS campaigns. In addition to an all-new coupe monocoque, the Lola B09/80 features the following upgrades: -Refined aerodynamics developed via intensive wind tunnel programme -Enhanced lift/drag ratio within existing downforce envelope -Ride height sensitivity minimised in all downforce configurations for improved driveability -Revised front suspension geometry fully track-tested by customer team -Third-spring option for front suspension to complement third-spring set-up at rear -Higher performance/lower friction seals on all uprights -Angular-contact wheel bearings all round -Faster refuelling mechanism and improved fuel collector system to reduce pit stop time
