When Eric Broadley first introduced his Lola Mk. VI GT Coupe in 1964, he started a revolution in Sportscar racing that swiftly led on to the T70, which developed into both a CanAm open version and a World Championship contending coupe version.
From the T70, Broadley developed the T160 family of CanAm cars, following up with the T220/260 and finally the T310.
After the T70 coupe Sports-prototype, came the T600/610/616 and then the T710 Corvette GTP and the T810 Electramotive Nissan GTP cars.
In 1989, Lola replaced March as the chosen designer/builder of their Group C contenders and designed the R89 and R90C, which so nearly won Le Mans.
For the 3.5 “Atmo” formula, Lola introduced the T92/10 and (bringing the story right up-to-date) the B08/60 and B08/80.
Over 600 pages, over 300 color and B&W photos.
