Lola Cars, Slough, England.  This was a car built by Lola as a Lola customer car, after years of building the cars for the Chevrolet and Nissan sports car teams.  It was designed by Wiet Huidekoper, but only three were made as Group C quickly came to an end in the early nineties.   The chassis and body were carbon fibre and was powered by a 3.5 litre Judd V10, derived from the F1 engine, through a 6 speed Lola gearbox.  Best result was a fourth place at Donington in the 500kms driven by Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Phil Andrews who were in the Euro Racing team.  The same car finished thirteenth at Le Mans.

Lola, Huntingdon, Engl;and. The T620 was a car produced in 1978 and 1979 to race in Formula Super Vee.  About 26 were originally constructed and had Volkswagen 4 cylinder 1,600cc engines. This one looks as though it has had some development over the years with its untypical side pods.  A few famous drivers cut their teeth in the Lola T620 including Arie Luyendijk. He won a number of European Championship Super Vee races in 1978 in a T620 before eventually moving on to Indy Car racing.  Thomas Beaufils runs this car in French Hillclimbs in the class D/E (2) which is for single seaters up to 1,600cc.  It would appear to now have a Skoda engine.

Lola, Huntingdon, Angleterre, La T620 était une voiture de course fabriquée en 1978 et 1979 pour Formule Super Vee.  Environ 26 était produit avec un moteur 4 cyl 1,600cc Volkswagen.  La voiture dans le photo a un moteurSkoda et quelques modifications.  Peut etre le plus connu pilot de la T620 était Arie Luyendijk qui gagnait deux courses de Super Vee en 1978.  Thomas Beaufils et le pilot actuel.
