Description:

The T-540E chassis is the Lola factory "wide track" version of the T-540. The front track is approximately 8
inches wider than the T-540, increasing cornering stability and handling, eliminating the somewhat
"twitchy" nature of the T-540. The rear track is approximately 6 inches wider, also improving stability and handling.

History

This particular car was purchased in Toronto, Canada in 1997 and had raced in the Canadian Formula Ford
series since new. The car has been completely gone through and updated to SCCA specs, including its
fuel cell enclosure, fire system, and front roll hoop. Because the car came from Canada, all updates
had to be made according to SCCA's GCR and fresh homolgation papers were issued on May 13, 1998. The
car has a 1999 annual tech stamp in its logbook and has successfully competed this season at Road America
and Blackhawk Farms.
