British car manufacturer MG Motor UK has confirmed it will return to the forefront of international motorsport in 2011 as a partner of ambitious Le Mans Series contenders Team RLR.
Following the successful launch of its brand new MG6 saloon, MG will renew its famous sporting heritage by becoming an official sponsor of Lancashire-based Team RLR as it competes in the prestigious Le Mans Series with the MG Lola EX265 sports prototype.
The deal will provide MG with international branding opportunities across the team’s car and other assets - including team kit, publicity material, website and social media channels.
It will also see a two-way technical partnership established, and provide MG customers and associates with the opportunity to get up close to the world’s highest level of endurance racing.
MG’s involvement in the 2011 Le Mans Series follows a string of success in endurance racing as a factory team between 2003 and 2008, including two class wins in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2005 and 2006.
