After Eric Broadley found the Ford GT40 too conservative in specs for a state-of-the-art sports racing car, he left the company to create his own company, Lola, and the car he always truly desired, the Lola T70. 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. 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 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.

In the most glittering era of sports car racing, the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Lola T70 and its descendants radiated star quality. These big racers, both brutal and beautiful, graced the Can-Am stage in North America as open spyders and the world sports car championship as closed coupes. Powered by big American V8 engines, they were massively fast and exceedingly popular, both with fans and the racers themselves. In this important new book, which has taken Lola enthusiast Gordon Jones three decades to complete, the racing history of the T70 and the Can-Am models that followed -- from T160 to T310 -- is exhaustively recorded, complete with a superb array of over 600 photographs. All sports car devotees will treasure this labour of love. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall

This Can-Am book takes a more detailed look at the wide variety of cars that contested the championship. In chronological order and rising in levels of performance, the machines examined range from the early Lola T70 to the incredible 1100 horsepower, 240mph Porsche 917 that swept all before it in the penultimate year of the Can-Am. McLaren cars dominated the series throughout its nine seasons and are also featured here extensively, but there are many other constructors represented, some less well known than others. Ferrari, Ford and Chaparral will be familiar to most enthusiasts, but how many recall that Brm built a Can-Am contender? Likewise, there was the ill fated Holman-Moody Honker Ii that thwarted even the undoubted ability of the great Mario Andretti to make it competitive and valiant attempts by McKee, Caldwell and the rest to build race winning cars. Aerodynamic innovation was also a major part of the typical Can-Am car, whether in the form of the wild looking Chaparral with its flipper rear wing or the air brakes tried on the Ferrari 612P, and these ideas (and many others) came under the microscope of the magazines of the day. The freedom of the Can-Am regulations gave rise to some truly unique vehicles that would dramatically influence the shape and style of motor racing around the world, long after the championship itself had passed into history. In these pages you'll find track tests by well known drivers, comments from ground breaking designers like Bruce McLaren and inside information about the technicalities of the Can-Am have all been collated together to give a comprehensive contemporary overview of what went into producing those awesome Group 7 cars. This edition will be great reading for all enthusiasts of this exciting and legendary period of motorsport.
