Lola is one of the best-known and well-respected racecar builders in the history of motorsport. A former Lola driver, John Starkey, authors this illustrated history. Starkey covers the company, the men behind the scenes, and technical information on the design, development, specifications, and racing histories of every open-wheel racer and sports-racing car built by Lola since 1978. This new volume is a companion to "Lola: The Illustrated History from 1957-1977."
