Available with powerplants from Nissan, Honda HPD, Lotus and, as
with this example, the Judd BMW M3 V-8, the Lola B1280 was the LMP2
version of the larger B08/60 chassis. With the large spinal fin,
the car featured excellent stability at speed, a must for a car
designed to go nearly 200-mph down the Mulsanne Straight at Le
Mans.
Formerly owned by Dempsey Racing and with extensive IMSA history
including top ten finishes at Lime Rock Park, Mid-Ohio, and Road
America and appearances at Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta, the B1280
offered here is one of the last racing cars to be completed by Lola
before that storied company ceased operations in 2012.
