THE LOLA T222

The T222 was the production version of the T220, it used the longer chassis introduced in the latter part of the 1970 Can-Am season. Visually the obvious difference was the rear bodywork had two strakes that flared upwards to which the rear wing was attached.

The T222 was a top ten runner on occasions but with no truly top team/driver combination involved it's difficult to judge how good it actually was.

Year(s) of Construction: 1971

Total Built: 6
