Lola Super Vee's






Lola Formula Super Vee’s:

I have come across 2 Lola Formula Super Vee’s at Miller this past summer. The yellow one is a 1972 Lola T240 and driven by Edward Milstein, the Black and silver car is a 1976 Lola T326.

The Super Vee was as I remember was supposed to be an alternative to Formula Ford. The engine used was out of the VW Rabbit. The Super Vee class used a more sophisticated chassis complete with wings and more aero features not found on Formula Ford. As a rule I think Super Vee’s are faster than Formula Fords.
I am writing this mostly from memory and therefore I may make some mistakes. I believe that Michael Andretti and Bobby Rahal both drove Super Vee’s.
