NEW AMR MAN FERNANDEZ: I STILL HAVE A LOT TO OFFER

Mexican star confirms Winter Test appearance for Lola-Aston Martin prototype
All along, Adrian Fernandez said he felt like he still had a lot to offer in sports car racing. The Mexican star has his chance to prove he’s right after Aston Martin Racing announced him as an official factory driver for its LMP1 program in 2010.

The deal actually goes beyond that – it’s a three-year deal, Fernandez says. The 2009 American Le Mans Series LMP2 co-champion will drive a Gulf-liveried, Aston Martin-powered Lola prototype in at least three events this season: Sebring and Long Beach (both in the American Le Mans Series) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The newly titled B10/60 LMP1 Coupe sees significant upgrades in both mechanical and aerodynamic areas. The Lola LMP cars are set to race on both sides of the Atlantic in 2010, as well as at the 78th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.

After winning both LMP1 and LMP2 Le Mans Series constructors titles in 2009, Lola has continued to invest in and further develop its capabilities to ensure that the LMP designs have a major advancement in pace for the new racing season.
