These cars were among the fastest of the enormously popular Group C cars, achieving almost 250 mph at Le Mans and they went on to have long and distinguished careers at Daytona, in America, and in the Japanese Sportscar Championship and dominate Historic Group C racing today.

These were golden Indycar years too, 1990 saw Al Unser Jr take the laurels in the Galles-Kraco Lola Chevrolet, in 1991 it was the turn of Michael Andretti (Newman-Haas Racing) and Bobby Rahal (Rahal-Hogan) won CART’s Indy Car Championship. In Japan, Ukyo Katayama won the 1991 All Japan Formula 3000 Championship and the following year it was Mauro Martini with Nova Engineering, Lola also taking three of the top four positions.

In 1993, Nigel Mansell won the Indy Car championship for Lola and the Newman Haas Team after leaving the Williams Formula 1 team. The 1993 Indianapolis 500 saw Lolas finish from second to tenth after Arie Luyendyk took pole position with a lap of 223.967 mph. It was another victorious season in Japan with Kazuyoshi Hoshino taking the All Japan crown. Further Championships would follow in 1995 and 1997, and subsequently, Lola was rewarded with the contract to supply spec cars for the one-make FIA International F3000 series.
