After two years of being unable to finish at Le Mans, as well as financial strain on the MG Rover Group lead to the sportscar project being cancelled. However Lola would continue on selling the cars to customers, offering continued technical support along with Advanced Engine Research. In the American Le Mans Series, KnightHawk Racing would leave, yet its place would be taken by a second Dyson Racing EX257. Both Dyson and Intersport would trade wins off during the entire season, with the EX257 winning every race that year to give Dyson the championship. Notably, the #16 Dyson entry, piloted by James Weaver and Butch Leitzinger, took an overall victory at the Infineon Raceway round, the first time an LMP675 car had pulled off the upset. However, Intersport made an unusual decision for the final round at Petit Le Mans, deciding to replace the turbocharged MG engine with a new naturally aspirated Judd KV675 V8. This move forced the team to make some mechanical changes to their car (now referred to as B01/60), but it was successful as the team managed to take the LMP675 win. Even with this perfect season for the EX257, Le Mans still saw problems. A single entry from Intersport failed to finish yet again, due to an engine failure after a mere 102 laps.
