He thought the GT40 too conservative in specification for a state-of-the-art sports/racing car, so he left the corporation to build the T70 under the aegis of his own company Lola. Immediately successful, the T70 carried John Surtees to the championship in the 1965 Can-Am series. The cars were also very successful in group 7 races until the series ended in 1967. Under continuous development until the Mk IIIB coupe of 1969, the T70 achieved major successes in shorter events such as the TT and Martini races. Today the T70 is a major force in historic racing.

Book excerpt: The Lola T70 was the car that Eric Broadley wanted to build for Ford instead of the GT40. He thought the GT40 too conservative in specification for a state-of-the-art sports racing car, so he split with the giant corporation to build the T70 under the aegis of his own company: Lola. Immediately successful, the T70 carried John Surtees to the Championship in the 1966 Can-Am series. The cars were also very successful in Group 7 races until the series ended in 1966, by which time the likes of Denny Hulme, David Hobbs and Brian Redman had all driven T70s to victory. Under continuous development until the Mk IIIb Coupé of 1969, the T70 was never a great endurance racer but achieved major successes in shorter events such as the TT and Martini races. Today, the T70 is a leading force in historic racing. Over many years, John Starkey – T70 owner and ex-Curator of the famous Donington racing car collection – has compiled a huge amount of information on the cars and interviewed many past and present owners and drivers about their experiences with the T70. Uniquely, this book contains the history and specification – where known – of each individual T70 chassis. Available again after an absence of several years, here is the definitive development and racing history of the Lola T70.

Book excerpt: Lola race cars built by Eric Broadley were among the most successful sport racers of the 1960s and early 1970s. Originally hired by Ford to design its GT40, Broadley went on to design a series of successful Can-Am cars, as well as coupes for endurance events like Le Mans, Sebring, and Daytona. Lolas from this period were driven by a veritable "who's who" of motorsports, including John Surtees, David Hobbs, Graham Hill, Mark Donohue, and Jo Bonnier, to name a few. This photohistory focuses on Broadley's Lolas, from the first Mark VI coupe in 1963 through 1974, the last year Lola campaigned the Can-Am series. Thirty-seven individuals were interviewed for the book, resulting in a host of remembrances from drivers, mechanics, and team owners.
