One of the most synonymous names in British motorsport is set to enter FIA Formula E, and it may well
“Lola Cars, under the leadership of British businessman Till Bechtolsheimer, is making a comeback to motorsport by entering Formula E. Bechtolsheimer has acquired the name and assets of the company, becoming an official Formula E manufacturer and even securing a GEN3 test car. This move has positioned Lola to enter as a powertrain supplier for another Formula E team, potentially ABT Cupra. ABT Cupra is in search of a new supplier after deciding to part ways with Mahindra, with Lola emerging as a strong contender. Lola’s rich history dates back to 1958, with notable successes in various racing series including IndyCar/CART and Formula 1, albeit with mixed results. After facing financial challenges and a failed F1 attempt in the past, Lola is now back on track with Bechtolsheimer’s revival, bringing the prestigious brand back to the forefront of top-class motorsport.”
