Video: Driving a Lola T70 Spyder smoothly is a lesson in self-restraint

And thanks to this onboard you can – at least virtually – join Jim Pace in the Lola T70 Spyder for a blistering lap of Florida’s famous international raceway.

With 120-degree views from the camera perched aft of the cockpit, watch as the accomplished sportscar driver pilots the open top Lola smoothly around the circuit, its Webers carburettor-equipped small-block V8 engine purring in accord.

Maintained by Heritage Motorsports Ford, the T70 Spyder dates from the mid-‘60s, when Lola developed the chassis for American V8-powered sportscar racing.
