Lola B05/40

The Lola B05/40 is a Le Mans Prototype built by Lola Cars International for use in the LMP2 class of the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was developed in 2005 as a replacement for both the Lola B2K/40 and the MG-Lola EX257, and it shares various structural elements with the larger LMP1-class Lola B06/10. It is also known as the MG-Lola EX264/265. It quickly became a contender in LMP2, taking class honours at Le Mans in 2005 and 2006 with Ray Mallock Limited, and class wins in the American Le Mans Series in the same years with Intersport Racing.
