The Ex-Weller Int. Ted Wentz 1975 Lola T360 Chassis HU18 The Ex-Weller Int. Ted Wentz 1975 Lola T360 Chassis HU18 • Believed to be the Lola Works development car for the T460. • Loaned to Ted Wentz to complete the 1975 season in which he won the Southern Organs Championship and came 5th in the John Player Championship. • Beautifully presented in Formula 2 specification and professionally race prepared and maintained. • Fresh from crack testing ready for this season and with only two races on the Geoff Richardson rebuilt Cosworth BDG engine. • Accompanied by and extensive usable running spares package, history file and current FIA Papers. Since the dramatic arrival of the Lola MK1 in the late 1958, Lola Cars Ltd. have been at the pinnacle of race car design. Surely no other race car manufacturer has been so dominant for so long across such a wide array of different racing classes and disciplines. The brainchild of the companies founder, one of most renown and highly regarded British race car designers Eric Broadley, Lola is Great Britain’s longest standing manufacturers of racing cars. In the early to mid 1970’s Lola, Formula 2 and Formula Atlantic were in their hay-day. Lola were dominant in the 2- Litre Sportscar Championship having taken victory with the T212 in 1971. Aided by the advent of sponsorship Formula 2 and subsequently Formula Atlantic were going from strength to strength. Very much the feeder series for the ultimate prize Formula 1. Fiercely competitive racing went on in these series on both side of the Atlantic with names such as Keke Rosberg, Gilles Villeneuve and Bobby Rahal. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com Formula Atlantic originated in America with the SCCA’s Formula B class, created in 1965 for single-seat formula cars with engines not exceeding 1,600cc. Formula Atlantic as a class evolved in the United Kingdom in 1971 from the US Formula B rules, with 1600cc production-based twin- cam engines. Conceived by John Webb of Brands Hatch as a category for national competitors with the performance close to a Formula 2 car but running costs at or below that of a contemporary Formula 3 car. A single championship ran in 1971-2 Sponsored by Yellow Pages, with a rival BP backed series appearing in 1973. 1974 saw the BP series changing sponsor to John Player cigarettes, and the Yellow Pages series becoming backed by John Webb's MCD organization and Southern Organs. In practice most top drivers competed in both series and there were no date clashes. Only one series ran in 1975-6, in the final year taking the title 'Indylantic and adopting Indianapolis-style single-car qualifying. Very similar to Formula 2 in terms of the chassis regulations, in Europe in particular, most manufacturers used the same chassis for both Formula 2 and Formula Atlantic. The only big difference being the engines with Formula 2 running 2- litre and Formula Atlantic 1,600cc. In the end it was the similarity between the series that would eventually bring on the demise of Formula Atalantic in Britain 1977. Bourn in 1946 Ted Wentz read philosophy at the University of Pensilvania. He started racing an old Jaguar XK120 in 1971 before soon moving to Formula Ford. He moved to England for the 1973 season and won the Weller Sponsored Formula Ford Championship. As a prize for winning the championship he was awarded a brand new March 74B Formula Atlantic car for the 1974 season. Weller continued to sponsor him in the 1975 where he made the move from March to the Lola T360. Ted Wentz went on to win the Southern Organs championship and take 5th in the John Player Championship. In 1976 when the two championships were combined into the Indyatalntic season he won the championship in a Swan Larger sponsored Lola T460 T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com This car HU18 is believed to be the Lola Works development car for the T460. It was loaned to Ted Wentz in September to complete the 1975 season after his first T360, HU7, was written off in testing by Roy James, the getaway drive in the Great Train Robbery. The history file contains and extract from Lola Heritages Scrapbook where Wentz recalls testing the modified T360 with Bobby Rayhal. For the 1976 British Formula Atlantic Series HU18 went on to be driven for the first two rounds at Brands Hatch by Tony Trimmer, winning on both occasions and for the remainder of the season by Mike King. The race results for HU18 for 1975 and 1976 are listed below. 4th October 1975 Oulton Park Ted Wentz 2nd 12th October 1975 Thruxton Ted Wentz 2nd 19th October 1975 Brands Hatch Ted Wentz RTD 4th April 1976 Brands Hatch Tony Trimmer 1st 9th May 1976 Brands Hatch Tony Trimmer 1st 6th June 1976 Brands Hatch Mike King 12th 1st August 1976 Knockhill Mike King 7th 8th August 1976 Thruxton Mike King RTD 5th September 1976 Silverstone Mike King 5th 26th September 1976 Brands Hatch Mike King RTD 16th October 1976 Oulton Park Mike King 2nd T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E.

In the records we have for 1977 and 1978 HU18 is listed as a T460. It is unclear at this stage as to whether it had been fully converted to T460 specification or not. It is interesting to note that in 1979 it is listed as Lola T560 (460-HU18). 7th August 1977 Halifax Carl Liebich RTD 4th September 1977 Trois-Riviéres Carl Liebich DNA 25th September 1977 Québec City Carl Liebich DNA 23rd April 1978 Westwood Carl Liebich DNS 4th July 1978 Lime Rock Carl Liebich 15th 23rd July 1978 Road America Carl Liebich 19th 7th August 1978 Hamilton Carl Liebich RTD 22 July 1979 Road America Carl Liebich 5th 16th September 1979 Bridgehampton Carl Liebich DNA 29th March 1980 Long Beach Carl Liebich DNS HU18 was finally returned to the UK having been purchased by Steve Maxted.

  • Monoposto Racing
    VARAC’s FORMULA CLASSIC CLASSIFICATIONS It is VARAC’s goal to develop an open wheel, Formula Classic, division which is strong enough to support its own grid at any VARAC attended racing event. Formula Classic grid at VARAC’s 40th Anniversary races at Shannonville, 2019 VARAC has three basic open wheel classifications which are aligned to reflect the Club’s sports car classes. They are: Formula Historic, Formula 70 and Formula 90. FORMULA HISTORIC: All Formula cars built before January 1, 1973. These are generally cars built before the evolution of slick tires and aerodynamic appendages. They include everything from Vintage Formula Juniors and 500cc Formula Threes to Formula 5000 cars. The most likely cars of this era (besides those described below) are Formula Bs, the most popular of these being the Brabham BT29. FORMULA 70: All Formula cars built from 1973 to 1989. FORMULA 90: All Formula cars built from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. Many F70 and F90 cars are frequently referred to as “wings and slicks” cars, for obvious reasons. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, treadless tires and aerodynamic devises appeared on many Formula cars. Not all Formula car classes were permitted to use slick tires and/or wings, however, for example, Formula Vee and Formula Ford. Usually cost saving was the motive for restricting slicks and/or wings. In VARAC, for now at least, Formula cars are separated into the three general classifications. There are five exceptions to this rule, which are outlined below. Obviously, there are a myriad of Formula car classes and amateur and professional series which raced prior to 2000.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
