...Wherein Marshall Pruett is the Only Person Paying Attention to Things

Lola Group, being one of Britain's foremost motorsport manufacturers, tends to find its way into the happenings of the Motorsport Industry Association over in the Kingdom. In their stand at the MIA's exhibition at the House of Lord's, you'd expect to find prototype sports cars and junior formula racers amongst things detailing the storied history of Lola.

What you might not be expecting to find is the beauty pictured at the top of this article by Marshall Pruett. That's right...that'd be a wind tunnel model of the Lola B12/00 IndyCar that, should it have the honor, would be introduced to the world in 2012.

What does it all mean? I suppose we'll find out Wednesday at noon.

By the way, Robin Miller got on the phone with JMV on 1070 in Indianapolis today...had some interesting things to say about Wednesday's announcement. Go HERE and scroll down a bit (and try not to be distracted by the girl on the right).

An Addendum...
Upon further review, I stand by my use of the word "beauty" in describing this wind tunnel model...assuming that bleeding fin comes off the back of it. I didn't notice it initially because of the lighting, but holy hell that fin looks ridiculous. Okay...resume positivity.
