The Story of a Remarkable Technical Alliance

The collaboration between MG and Lola Cars International dates back to the 1980s, a golden age for British motorsport. MG , an iconic British brand founded in 1924, had already established itself in motorsport with its roadsters and racing cars.

Lola Cars, founded by Eric Broadley in 1958, had established itself as one of the world's most respected racing chassis manufacturers. The Huntingdonshire-based company had revolutionized the design of sports cars and Formula One single-seaters.

The MG-Lola alliance was born from a shared desire to combine MG's racing heritage with Lola's technical expertise in building racing chassis. This collaboration would result in models that would go on to make history in British motorsport, particularly in endurance racing and Formula 1.

MG engines, renowned for their reliability and performance, will equip several Lola chassis, creating a technical synergy that will allow this alliance to shine on international circuits during the 1980s and 1990s.

A Memorable Sporting Epic

The most significant story of this collaboration undoubtedly remains the commitment to Formula 1 in the 1980s . The MG-Lola single-seaters thus took to the asphalt of the most prestigious circuits in the world championship, from Monaco to Silverstone, flying the British flag in the most demanding of motor racing competitions.

This Formula 1 adventure perfectly symbolizes the golden age of British motorsport, a time when British manufacturers dominated the international scene. MG-Lola rubbed shoulders with legendary names like McLaren, Williams, and Lotus, helping to establish Great Britain as the nerve center of world Formula 1.

Beyond Formula 1, MG-Lola endurance cars have also written some fine pages of history, notably at the 24 Hours of Le Mans where this technical alliance demonstrated the relevance of the British approach to long-term motorsport.
