The Lola was campaigned in the Canadian Grand Prix by Francis Bradley, who holds a seat in the Canadian Race Hall of Fame. In 1962, the car was piloted by Ross de St. Croix in the Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport. The car was involved in a serious crash in which de St. Croix nearly lost his life.

The car was painted dark green when Francis Bradley drove it, known as "Miss Whiz" after a car-care product range, from entrant R.J. Hollingshead Company of Canada Ltd, 1 Mobile Drive, Toronto, Ontario. Also driven by Boris Janda/Eric Schwendau.
