The Lola T89/00 is one of the Lola Cars entries the open record knows by name, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.

It won a total of 5 races that season; 1 for Bobby Rahal, 2 for Michael Andretti, and 2 for Al Unser Jr., and took 3 pole positions; 2 for Michael Andretti, 1 for Al Unser Jr. It was mainly powered by the Ford-Cosworth DFX, but also used the Buick Indy V6.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Lola Cars's history is not in doubt: the Lola T88/00 came before it; the Lola T90/00 followed it. Its Lola Cars stablemates include the Hill GH1 and the Lola B02/50.
