Lola Mk6
Remember seeing the Lola Mk 6 GT at Elkhart Lake in June 1964 being driven by Augie Pabst. It was in it's early version, without the fender bulges, for its time it was simply breathtaking, it just needed more time to be sorted. At the time John Mecom (Houston oil tycoon) was buying up and underwriting racecars everywhere, Corvette Grand Sports to Indycars (underwriting Stewart and Hill at Indy in '66, good picks, I'd say). Mecom's interest in the Mk 6 development helped make it into a seminal design for future success at Le Mans, in the form of the Ford GT40.
