This
website is dedicated to information and coverage of RML's
sports prototype project, as well as other races and events
contested by AD Motorsports.
With
support from the AD Group of companies, RML introduced their
sportscar programme in November 2003. Since then five full
seasons in the Le Mans Series have followed, with Mike Newton
and Thomas Erdos campaigning the car with great success,
including two class wins in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2005
and 2006.
Between
2003 and 2008 the team raced with MG, starting with the
EX257 in 2003, then following on with all-new Judd-engined
MG Lola EX264 in 2005 - a direct development of the EX257
carried out by RML in partnership with Lola and MG Cars.The
following year, 2006, the EX264 employed an AER turbocharged
powerplant and contested the full Le Mans Series as well
as Le Mans, enabling RML to win the 24 Hours for a remarkable
second time. In 2007 Mike Newton and Thomas Erdos went on
to claim the LMP2 title in the Le Mans Series. The 2008
season saw them campaigning the fully revised and updated
MG Lola EX265, culminating in the launch of the 265 Coupé
in September. At the end of 2008 the link with MG was finally
broken, and RML AD Group will be racing in partnership with
Mazda AER for 2009.
