fausto should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I remember reading that ADA 01 was based on a Lola raced by Dorset Racing, somewhere they said T3**, although I don't recall a similar chassis raced by Dorset....

Re to march 8 Michael post I can say that there wasn't apparently any relation between Jolly Club and Scuderia CittÃ* dei Mille.

Probably, during 1974-5 in Italy two 3 litre Lola were raced, a series 2, the Lavazza/Arrigoni car, used sometime by others, and the series 3 used by Pianta and Brambilla at Nurburgring in '75 and the following year by "Pam", Casoni and Capoferri. I remember for sure that Italian weekly "Autosprint" wrote, some weeks after the Monza 1000, about Brambilla and Pianta receiving a brand new Lola (so it wasn't a bodywork update only....).
I also remember about Capoferri being not very happy with T380 and the team, run by Gianfranco Bielli (later in F.3000 with Crypton, Autosport Racing and others).
Infact the following year he went his own way, becoming Italian Lola distributor....
