One of the most attractive and fast developing categories within Historic motor racing is Formula 5000, catering for single-seater (near-Formula 1) cars powered by production-based engines of up to 5 litres capacity.
Formula 5000 racing was introduced in 1968 in American SCCA as 'Formula A', and the category enjoyed popularity in the early '70s in the USA featuring such drivers as Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter, Brian Redman and David Hobbs.
In the UK and Europe, Formula 5000 matching American Formula A, was adopted in 1969 and such manufacturers as McLaren-Trojan and Lola Cars were quick to support it.
In particular Lola Cars of Huntingdon had developed the multi-tubular space frame chassised T140 model for the pioneering American class in 1968 although for 1969 it was quickly updated into the replacement T142 as offered here .
Formula 5000 had also caught on in South African national-Championship competition which had long been the preserve of former Formula 1 machinery.
