1969 Lola T142

This is a photograph that I took on the approach to Lodge Corner during the HSCC Historic Formula Racing Car Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.
It's the 1969 Lola T142 of Nick Buttress and is thought to be chassis SL142/37. Formula 5000 was introduced in 1968 as an open-wheel single seater Formula for cars with a maximum capacity of 5,000cc, and most cars had American V8 engines of that size with Chevrolet being the most favoured unit.
