Swiss Spirit complete Lola-Audi shakedown.
The Swiss Spirit team has completed the first test of its new Audi powered Lola B07/10 after spending a successful day with the machine at Silverstone.
Marcel Fassler was on driving duties in the car he will share with Jean Denis Deletraz and Iradj Alexander-David for the test session, which saw the car complete 75 trouble free laps of the Silverstone Stowe circuit - giving all involved in the project a massive boost considering that the new Swiss Spirit car is the first Lola to be fitted with the engine from the all conquering Audi R8.

While the Stowe circuit isn't best suited to sportscars due to its tight nature, Fassler said he felt the package has 'huge potential', with the car now heading to Ledenon for two days of testing in Southern France before its public debut at Valencia in a few weeks time.
