Dreams die hard



LE Mans, France -- Sometimes all you can do is fight the good fight.

For car number 25, the RML-sponsored LMP2 MG Lola ended short of their dream of winning three straight 24 Hours of LeMans when a blown piston took them out of the race this morning.

The blown piston was but the latest issue for the team as it virtually rebuilt the car after a shunt at the entry to Porche Curves that heavily damaged the car yesterday.

It took a 52 minute pit stop to get the car back together and when the car hit the track it was in dead last position. The team managed to move up to second place during the evening before the piston let go ending their run at history.
