Lola-Yamaha

Traditional chassis constructor Lola Cars officially signed up as a manufacturer for Formula E in spring 2024. Together with technology partner Yamaha, the British company is developing its own powertrain to sell to potential customer teams from the 2024/25 season, i.e. the second half of the Gen3 era.

Lola was founded in 1958 by Eric Broadly. In 2022, Till Bechtolsheimer took over the brand and reorganised it at the new headquarters in Silverstone (UK). In its history, Lola has developed and produced almost 5,000 racing cars in 400 different model types. Lola has raced in Le Mans, the IndyCar, Formula 1, Can-Am, Formula 3000, Formula 5000, A1GP, Formula Ford and touring car series, among others.

Formula E brought Lola back onto the global motorsport stage after a long absence.
