Endurance - Lola - Standaard / NOOS

Lola Cars was a British manufacturer of racing cars, founded in 1958 by Eric Broadley.

The company gained global recognition for its innovations in motorsport, producing cars for a wide range of disciplines, including Formula 1, IndyCar, Le Mans, Formula 2, and sports car racing. Lola became known for its technical excellence, producing race cars that were both fast and reliable, with a reputation for engineering innovation.

Although the company ceased operations in 2012, Lola's legacy in motorsport remains significant. The company was initially focused on producing cars for British and European motorsport events but quickly expanded its horizons, designing vehicles for major racing series around the world.

Lola entered Formula 1 in the 1960s and competed at various points through the 1970s and 1980s. The Lola F1 cars, such as the Lola T70, were not as successful as some of the more prominent F1 manufacturers, but they were known for their technical innovation.

One of the most successful racing cars in the early years of Lola, the T70 was a sports car that competed in endurance racing and gained popularity in the U.S. and Europe. The company made its most recent attempt in Formula 1 with the Lola T290 in the early 1990s, but the team was unable to secure significant results.

Lola was a significant player in the IndyCar series (now part of the Indy Lights and IndyCar Series) through the 1980s and 1990s, providing cars to several successful teams. An endurance racing car designed for modern races like the American Le Mans Series, the B12/60 hybrid was one of the final and most technologically advanced cars produced by Lola before its closure.
