Yes, it's a shame to see an iconic name such as Lola go bust. They've been imaking cars/chassis's for varied formula's since the 60's I believe. I remember seeing them when I started going to the British GP at Silverstone in 1988 when Eric Bernard and Aguri Suzuki were racing for them. Graham Hill actually won the Indy 500 in 1966 in a Lola and they have continued to supply cars to Indy and Champ cars pretty much up to present day. Wonder how the hell they got into such a mess?? :-\
