Old Lolas
Evening all.
I came upon this thread recently and it took quite a while to read it all through.
Once upon a time (1979? 80?) a group of us from the current S2000 series went to Denmark for the weekend. The meeting was at Jyllandsring between Silkeborg and Arhus. I took the Toleman Lola as well as John Brindley's Lola and John Webb's car. The Toleman Lola was for Jac Nelleman who had rented it for the weekend.
To make up the numbers for the races, the S2000 cars were mixed in with small local racing saloons like Simca 1100 etc. which made for some entertaining overtaking manoeuvres.
At the time there was a bit of talk of running the S2000s with an uprated engine e.g. Pinto with twin Webers and the cars could easily handle a bit more power. We ran them in some 6hr races without major problems.
Interesting project - getting that engine & box in and making it look so neat.
