Ostensibly, this here post is about Lifeline’s newest batch of fire suppression systems and how they save lives at 200 mph, yadda yadda yadda. All very important stuff. And it takes a really gifted writer to make, “Lifeline USA has already secured SFI certification for its revolutionary new ZERO 360 System that can instantaneously extinguish fires in three zones with no mess” interesting. However, I am not that writer. I am however the writer that loves him some Prototype-Class Le Mans action, especially cars like the Aston Martin LMP1. So… on this this side of the jump you can drool over the DB9R-engined Lola-chassised dreamboat, and on that side of the jump you can read all about the latest from Lifeline — fair? Ahhh! Now hold on. That sexy blue and orange beastie uses Lifeline systems. Is that a tie-in, or what? Jump.
