Wrecking a Lola

Hi everyone,

many of you know the story of a Lola T70 getting wrecked during filming
"Le Mans" as a dummy for a Porsche 917 crash scene (think they used another Lola for filming the Ferrari 512 crash).
Got three interesting pics showing the preparation, filming and final result of the crash I´d like to share with you.
To my knowledge, the wreckage was later sold and the Lola being fully rebuild.

Best,

Marcus

I've always heard the expression: "If you find a woman who loves the movie LeMans , marry her!
