Eric Broadley's Lola Cars launched the T70 in the mid-sixities, and found instant success in the new Can Am series, with John Surtees winning the championship in 1966. While most T70's were Chevy powered, a variety of engines were used over the years and some of the most prominant drivers of the day sat behind the wheel of a T70.

1960 Lola Mk1 (Le Mans, 1960): In 1958, Lola created an open sports racing car answer to the Lotus Eleven. It was the first sports racer built by Lola and it was very successful. Enough so that it causes Lotus to abandon the Eleven and rush into making the 17, which was not successful. Using a tubular steel chassis with aluminum body work, the 1.1L 4-cylinder Coventry Climax FWA powered car was very light (840 lb.) The light weight and 80 HP engine made it a favorite in club racing in the early 1960's. Approximately forty were built.

1960 Lola Mk1 (Le Mans, 1960): This car (Chassis #BR-6) was purchased by Swiss racer and Lola investor Charles Vogele in 1960. Vogele drove the car Sebring and the Nurburgring 1000 Km with factory driver Peter Ashdown co-driving, taking class wins at both races. Vogele then took the car to Le Mans that year under the Lola Cars entry, again with Ashdown co-driving. Le Mans proved to be too much strain with its long straights on the little Climax engine which had not been rebuilt after its prior two endurance races. The pair retired in the 19th hour after 148 laps with an expired engine.

1963 Lola Mk VI GT (Le Mans 1963): Its hard to believe today that mid-engine technology was revolutionary, but in the early 1960's when this car was designed, it was. Using some of the best racing technology at the time, such as an aluminum monocoque with ending and gear box being stressed chassis members, Lola created a sensation when the Mk6 GT was launched in 1963. It was the first GT car to take advantage of those elements, powered by a 4.7L Ford V8 engine. The lightweight body with its Kamm tail, roof engine air intake and doors that extended into the roof for greater cockpit access were also revolutionary for its time.

1963 Lola Mk VI GT (Le Mans 1963): This car, the second of three cars built, was entered at Le Mans in 1963, driven by David Hobbs and Richard Attwood. Scrutineering problems with the air intake led to a lack of practice time. The team learned too late that the wrong gear ratios had been chosen and the drivers had to limit revs on the Mulsanne Straight to avoid over-revving. Despite this handicap, the car was in fifth position when the gearbox seized, causing Hobbs to crash. However, impressed with the car, its design and potential performance, Ford bought the car to use as a basis for its project that would become the GT40.

1963 Lola Mk VI GT (Nassau 1963): This Mk.VI, the last of three cars built, was entered to run at Le Mans in 1963, but was not ready in time. It was sold to John Mecom and was raced under the Mecom Racing Team banner, with its principal driver being Augie Pabst, Jr. At its first race at Brands Hatch, the 400 hp Ford-Shelby V8 expired after only 4 laps. Upon shipping the car to America, Mecom had a Chevrolet Traco tuned 6.0L V8 installed in the mid-engine FRP bodied car; which now produced an increased 530 hp. Pabst drove the car in numerous North American events, including Sebring in 1964. Its greatest success cam in the Nassau Tourist Trophy races in 1963, where Pabst won both events. The first aluminum monocoque race car, the Mk. 6 was the catalyst for the evergreen Ford GT40.

1966 Lola T70 Mk2: The Northwest has always been host to top tier racing and the USRRC race held at SIR in '66 was no exception. Seattle's Jerry Grant put this Lola-Ford on the pole for Dan Gurney's All-American Racers, but lost the race to a young driver who collected his first major win, Mark Donohue driving for Roger Penske, when he developed engine trouble. USRRC was quickly fading in popularity to the new Can Am series.

1967 Lola T70 Mk3 B (Riverside Can Am 1967): In the 1967 racing season, Dan Gurney was busy splitting his time between USAC, F1, the Can Am, Trans Am, International Championship for Makes and even NASCAR. This probably stretched his All-American Racers (Anglo American in F1), or AAR a bit too thin. Still, it was a huge season for Gurney with wins at Le Mans, in F1, combined with a big wins in NASCAR and USAC at Riverside. Success in the second season of the Can Am was not to be. While Gurney was either on pole or in the top three qualifying most races, he failed to finish a single one of the six races. The 6.2L Ford-Gurney/Weslake engine in the Lola was not able to stay together an entire race and caused the majority of Gurney's retirements. Gurney, who was the undisputed master at Riverside set the pole position in this car and led the first three laps before the engine cried enough and he retired. Only four MK3 B Spyders were built.

1999 Lola B98/10: Lola designed the B98/10 for customers without major factory backing to run in the prototype class in the Sports Car World Cup, American Le Mans series and at Le Mans. While able to accept a variety of engines, the most popular choice was the Rousch designed 6.0L Ford V8, which produced 740bhp. The cars came with the same gearbox used in Lola's current Indy Car and the outer skin of the composite monocoque chassis also served as the bodywork. Kremer Racing bought their Lola to run in the SCWC and at Le Mans, forgoing Porsche power in favor of the Roush-Ford V8. They entered this car at Le Mans in 1999, but had little time to test the car before practice in May and the car suffered overheating issues, qualifying back in 25th for the race. During the race, driven by Tomas Saldana, Didier de Radigue's and Grant Orbell, the car had taken 10th place before gearbox trouble forced them out of the race early on Sunday morning. Kremer raced the car through the 1999 and 2000 SCWC seasons and into 2001, taking a win in S. Africa and two other podium finishes. While it showed promise, the B98/10 was never as fast or reliable as its competition. Eight cars in total were built.

PLEASE NOTE: From 1968 into the 1990's tobacco companies sponsored many significant race cars. We don't promote tobacco use, rather we stronly discourage it. However, we do promote historical accuracy, Old Irish Racing chooses to display models in our collection as historically accurate as possible. While seeing a tobacco advert on a car gives me no more desire to go smoke than seeing a car makes me want to go suck on its exhaust pipe. If tobacco (or alcohol) adverts on race cars offend you, please go look at nice pictures of bunnies and kittens on another site. Thank you!
