"Her name was Lola ...."
Notice that seven of the first 10 cars on the grid are Lolas? What's up with that?

A repeat of 1992..? I hope Reynard odn't start losing interest, but that seems to be what happens when they start getting beaten. But hudos to Lola, remember back to, i think it was 1997, I think the only running them were Tasman, so for them to make a come back is a fantastic achievement.

After the F1 debacle and a medicore outing in sportscars, Lola has returned to form in CART where they have had a lot of success. I wonder if Reynard is feeling too much financial and physical asset drain from the F1 program they partner with BAR?

Lola has been a threat to win anytime, anywhere since I can remember.

Lola is doing constant development work on the aerodynamics of their cars. There are new tweaks available for each race. Overall downforce and Lift/Drag ratios are superior to Reynard.
