The tub of a later Lola T332 is only about 8" deep and the T70 seems about a foot deep so Lola was not in the business of making huge substantial chassis. A Humvee comes to mind as the other end of the spectrum. Lola limp is what you got if you crashed because that suspension is going to get you leg if the wall does not fub your foot off. At the time, the chassis was considered adequate to keep all the bits in their proper places during a race. In Vintage racing or , gulp, street use, the tub will neither make nor break the experience. nothing short of a cage will protect during a crash. If a cage connected the front suspension to the rear suspension like a tube framed car, well, then it would not be a T70 would it ...
