Eric Broadley RIP

I noticed his obituary in yesterday's paper:

The race results of Lola thru the years speak well of the success of his designs.

As a spectator, I can say that Lola cars were some of the the most strikingly beautiful and aerodynamicly sleak looking cars ever built.

RIP Mr Broadley. Your legacy will be appreciated for the foreseeable future.

Cheers Richard

Surprised this hasn't gotten more press from the motorsports media. Lola was successful in so many categories and developed so many great racecars. RIP
