Can-Am Racing Pedigree

Lola Cars, founded in 1958, was a prominent British race car manufacturer that rose to fame primarily because of its success with the T70 in Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) racing in the 1960s. The T70's lightweight, robust chassis and powerful Chevrolet V-8 engine made it a favorite of drivers and fans alike. In 1966, drivers John Surtees, Dan Gurney, and Mark Donohue won five out of six Can-Am races in T70 MkIIs. After its dissolution in 2012, Lola was acquired in 2022 and expects to return to international motorsport as an electric powertrain manufacturer in the Formula E World Championship in 2025.
