The British-based MG-Lola team and Archangel Motorsports of the US conducted the tests, with Ireland's Johnny Kane behind the wheel for most of the two days.<BR> <BR> The British chassis builder is negotiating with several race teams to supply customer cars for the American Le Mans Series in the 2002 season, starting with the 12-hour event at Sebring on March 16. Representatives of many of the teams were on hand to observe the testing and see the car.<BR> <BR> Kane, a former Indy Lights driver who has also worked as a television commentator on SKY Sports coverage of European Le Mans Series races, had never run the full 3.7-mile Sebring course before but quickly adapted. Sailing along on the smooth new Sebring pavement, he turned a lap of 1:48.5 on the second day, faster than the 1:48.825 track record set by Frank Biela in an Audi R8 in 2000.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
