Hello!

I was just wondering whether any of you guys know the name of the brand/company 'Lola', and know what it is that they do.

If you do know it, could you please let me know what you think of them, and any thoughts that you might have on their role in racing, their brand values and contribution to the automotive industry.

Also - do you think they are well known?

Thanks!

Alicia

Alicia,

Lola was a very prominent name in racing in the late 60's and early 70's. They made some very competitive sports and open wheel racing cars in all sorts of different categories. More recently they have produced a chassis that is being used with limited success in the American Le Mans series.
