Some cars leave a paper trail; the Lola T90 left a name and a place in Lola Cars's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
Where it came from
The Lola T90 is a highly successful and competitive open-wheel racing car chassis, designed and built by Lola Cars to compete in the USAC IndyCar racing series, that won the 1966 Indianapolis 500, being driven by Graham Hill. It was powered by either the 425–500 hp (317–373 kW), naturally-aspirated, 256 cu in (4.20 L), Ford Indy V-8 engine, or the 168 cu in (2.75 L), 520 hp (390 kW), Offenhauser 4-cylinder turbo engine.
In context
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Lola T80; its successor was the Lola T150. Nearby in the Lola Cars catalogue sit the Hill GH1 and the Lola B02/50.
