1991 Lola Chevrolet T91 11

The House That Newman/Haas Built: 1991 Lola-Chevrolet T91/00

Presented by RM Sotheby's. Newman/Haas Racing’s 1991 CART PPG Indy Car World Series-winning chassis. A RACING DYNASTY The landscape of American auto racing is textured by great families. The Unsers, Pettys, and Earnhardts established multiple generations of championship-caliber drivers whose legendary exploits on the racetrack are woven into the very fiber of motorsport. One name, however, rises above to be synonymous with speed itself: Andretti. The patriarch, Mario, needs no introduction. With a resume that includes Formula One World Champion, Indy 500-winner, Daytona 500 Champion, and Le Mans class-winner, he is undoubtably one of the greatest men to have ever climbed behind the wheel of a racecar. Following in his footsteps would seem insurmountable, yet his son Michael proved to possess incredible abilities behind the wheel. Beginning his Indy Car career with the Kraco Racing squad in 1983, a run of podium finishes the following season confirmed his talent within the sport. Mario Andretti had established the street circuit in Long Beach, California as a successful hunting ground with wins in 1977, 1984, and 1985, and in 1986 Michael would keep the family winning streak alive by securing his very first win within the CART PPG Indy Car World Series. The 1986 season would result in Michael’s first runner-up finish in the championship; the following year, he would achieve the same result. In 1989 Michael joined the Newman/Haas team alongside his father, and the two shared great success together. By 1991, Michael was on a roll, having finished 3rd and 2nd in the championship standings the prior two seasons. After being the bridesmaid on three occasions, Michael was determined to not let the ultimate prize slip through his fingers. While the 1991 campaign began with a slow start, a dramatic Indianapolis 500 saw Michael finish runner-up to the legendary Rick Mears, who secured his record-tying fourth win at the Brickyard. From that point onwards, Michael dominated the remainder of the season. Achieving eight wins out of 17 races, the final six events of the season saw a three-race win streak, two 3rd-place finishes, and a final win at the last race. A true stamp of authority, this display of talent further added to the Andretti legend and dismissed naysayers who said it could not be done. THE LOLA T91/00 Lola’s dominance with the T90/00 in 1990, with 13 wins out of 16 events, meant that 1991’s T91/00 would be a refinement of the design which had led to so much success. While retaining the same dimensions and monocoque design as the T90/00, the latest model was understood to have a more consistent shape and stronger construction thanks to the new climate-controlled autoclave installed at the Lola factory. An aluminum honeycomb was again utilized for the tub, extending from the driver’s hips to the pedals for protection in the event of a heavy accident. In addition, the pickup points for the suspension were revised.To meet the demands of the various disciplines, a high-downforce configuration was available for short ovals, road courses, or street circuits. For the superspeedways, alternative suspension geometry was utilized to extend the wheelbase, and low-drag wings worked to slice through the air. The tried-and-tested Ilmor-Chevrolet 2.65-liter V-8, featuring a turbocharger and 32 valves, served as the heart of the Newman-Haas cars during the 1991 season. MICHAEL’S CHASSIS 38 Used during the month of May in the leadup to the 74th running of the Indianapolis 500, chassis 38 accumulated 725 miles of test running between May 6 and May 13. A week later it was entered in the Miller Genuine Draft 200 at the famed Milwaukee Mile oval in Wisconsin. Qualifying 3rd behind his father, the Andrettis would quickly jump in front of pole-sitter Rick Mears. John Andretti, son of Mario’s twin brother Aldo, additionally started the race in the top five. All three would remain up front, and after Mears suffered from an engine failure, history would be made: For the first and only time, the Andretti family swept the podium. After leading the most laps, Michael finished 1st, followed by his father and his cousin. Chassis 38 was next entered in the Valvoline Detroit Grand Prix on the tight, unforgiving temporary street circuit. After securing a pole position, Michael fought for the lead against Dutchman Arie Luyendyk, but failed to finish the race. The following week at The Budweiser/G.I. Joe's 200 at Portland International Raceway in Oregon, Chassis 38 was once again used. Michael lined up 5th on the grid that day, and in a spectacular display of his talent, he took the lead on the opening lap with a first-turn dive. He went on to lead the most laps that day, securing him additional bonus points.The chassis was next entered in the Marlboro Grand Prix Meadowlands, just outside of New York City. After starting in the top five, Michael battled up front and was running in the podium places at half-race distance. Unfortunately, his engine began to suffer a misfire, ultimately leading to his retirement from the race. Michael’s trio of race wins began at the Molson Indy Vancouver on the street circuit of the Canadian city. This would be the final race weekend for Chassis 38, and once again, pole position was achieved. Bobby Rahal, Michael’s main opponent, sat eight points ahead in the championship and quickly snatched the lead of the race. Another scrap resulted in Michael regaining the lead, yet he would spend the later portion of the race climbing back through traffic from 3rd place. Ultimately finishing 1st, his pole position and most laps led resulted in maximum points for the race weekend. Today, the car is set up in speedway configuration and accompanied by workshop manual, laptop, and cable. A highly significant racing car from the high-watermark-era of Indy Car racing, Chassis 38 helped secure success for the second generation of the Andretti family dynasty. This racecar will be offered without reserve at RM Sotheby’s The House That Newman/Haas Racing Built sale, taking place 29 October. View more and register to bid online at rmsothebys.com today.

1993 Lola Ford Cosworth T93 1

By duPont REGISTRY –  October 17, 2022

The House That Newman/Haas Built: 993 Lola-Ford Cosworth ...

Presented by RM Sotheby's. Newman/Haas Racing’s 1993 CART PPG Indycar World Series-winning chassis. THE LION Nigel Mansell, one of the most tenacious and thrilling drivers to have ever competed in Formula One, developed his reputation through fearless overtakes; by the early 1990s, he had finished runner-up in the championship three times. It was only a matter of time before he would secure the sport’s top prize. In 1992 the Williams team unleashed the dominant FW14B, quite possibly the most technologically advanced car to contest the Formula One World Championship to that point. This spectacular machine allowed Mansell to secure nine Grand Prix victories out of 17 events, and thus, the Drivers’ Championship. His teammate, Riccardo Patrese, finished 2nd with half the points tally of the champion. " width="680"> After finally achieving his lifelong ambition, and with supreme confidence in his abilities, Mansell made the decision to cross the Atlantic to test his abilities against the top open-wheel drivers in the United States. Signing with championship-caliber Newman/Haas Racing, his teammate would be none other than the legend himself, Mario Andretti. This was indeed a fateful reunion, calling back to Nigel’s earliest days on the Grand Prix circuit: In 1980, Mansell secured his first race seat with the Lotus organization after a promising run as a test driver. He would contest three Grands Prix alongside Andretti and Elio De Angelis, with little success due to a lack of experience and reliability. Now, with over 10 years of experience in his back pocket, Mansell set to prove his abilities around the ovals, road courses, and street circuits of the PPG Indy Car World Series. In addition to sharing the garage with a legendary teammate, his competition throughout the season included Al Unser Jr., Bobby Rahal, Arie Luyendyk, the young Paul Tracy, and another former F1 champion: Emerson Fittipaldi. As the season progressed, the Brazilian proved to be Mansell’s greatest adversary, resulting in a number of unforgettable on-track battles. Never too far from drama, the Englishman suffered a devastating crash before the second event at the demanding one-mile oval in Phoenix Arizona. The resulting back injury necessitated surgery. Adding insult to this literal injury, Mansell was denied the opportunity to run his first oval race and gain crucial experience before attempting the Indianapolis 500. Despite this setback, Mansell would partake in the Indy 500. Close to the end, while leading the race, a yellow flag gave Fittipaldi and Luyendyk the opportunity to close up on Mansell. Pressing their advantage to the end, the pair finished 1st and 2nd, respectively, while Mansell took 3rd.Achieving five victories, Mansell conquered the multi-discipline season with an average finishing position of 6.2, and by season’s end, Mansell finished just eight points ahead of runner-up Fittipaldi. For the first time in the history of motor racing, one driver reigned supreme as the uncontested open-wheel champion of the world. THE LOLA T93/00 Largely a development of the successful T92/00 model, the T93/00 featured a number of aerodynamic and mechanical improvements over its predecessor. Up front, the central section of the front wing rose to meet an extended, needle-like nose. Ford-specification cars featured a unique engine cowl which sat at a lower profile, allowing for greater air flow. The car utilized all-carbon fiber construction, with a monocoque tub and double-wishbone suspension connected to inboard springs on all four corners. To meet the demands of the various disciplines, a high-downforce configuration was available for short ovals, road courses, or street circuits. For the superspeedways, alternative suspension geometry was utilized to extend the wheelbase, and low-drag wings worked to slice through the air. The previous year, Newman/Haas had successfully adopted the Ford XB engine into their Lola, with Michael Andretti achieving five wins throughout the season. In 1993, this turbocharged, dual-overhead-camshaft V-8 engine again served as the heart of the racecar. RED FIVE This Lola T93/00, Chassis 5, participated in seven races throughout the 1993 PPG Indy Car World Series. Beginning with the very first event of the year, the Australian FAI Indy Car Grand Prix at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit, Mansell showed his level of skill by securing bonus points with a pole position and the race win. A momentous result, he was the first Indy Car rookie to win his first race. The chassis was next utilized at the Miller Genuine Draft 200 at the Milwaukee Mile. The oldest operating speedway in the world, this one-mile oval with nine degrees of banking very much resembles a scaled-down version of the Brickyard. After gaining much-needed experience at the 500-mile event, Nigel secured his first oval win of the season.Chassis 5 would make its next appearance contesting the Budweiser/G.I. Joe's 200 at Portland International speedway. A pole position secured bonus points for Mansell, and a 2nd-place finish helped to maintain his championship lead. The Molson Indy Toronto proved to be Mansell’s most difficult race weekend of the season. In the sessions preceding the race, the Englishman suffered two crashes at the first turn, greatly diminishing his chances of success. After 60 laps bogged down in the midfield, a wastegate failure caused Chassis 5’s first and only retirement for the season. Fortunes would change at the second 500-mile event of the season. The Marlboro 500 at the two-mile Michigan International Speedway was Indycar’s fastest event at the time. The Newman/Haas cars proved to be the class of the field, with Andretti taking the pole at 234.2 mph, followed by Mansell. Arie Luyendyk took the first spot on the second row, nearly four mph down on the front duo. Despite suffering from a splitting headache, the grueling race resulted in Mansell’s first 500-mile victory and second oval win of the season. Andretti took the runner-up position, marking the teammates’ only joint appearance on the podium. Starting alongside Paul Tracy at the Texaco/Havoline 200, Chassis 5 helped Mansell navigate the formidable four-mile Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The lengthy track makes fuel management a key component of success, and the Newman/Haas team kept Mansell on a tight strategy. Unfortunately, he was unable to take on the charging Tracy, and the Englishman settled for a respectable 2nd. The final event in which Chassis 5 entered proved to be the most consequential. The Bosch Spark Plug Grand Prix at the Nazareth Speedway would be the final oval event of the calendar, and Mansell’s sweep of the previous three oval events set up a prime opportunity to secure the title. Starting on the pole, Nigel’s chances looked good, but once the green flag waved, Fittipaldi and Tracy darted ahead, leaving Mansell to settle for 3rd. As the race progressed, he battled through traffic to retake the lead—and ultimately the checkered flag. Pulling into victory lane, the Englishman was elated, having achieved what no one had done before: In that moment, he was the reigning Formula One and Indy Car grand champion. Standing as a monument to this feat, this Newman/Haas Lola T93/00 is a deeply significant racing machine worthy of a place of honor in any collection with an open-wheel focus. This racecar will be offered without reserve at RM Sotheby’s The House That Newman/Haas Racing Built sale, taking place 29 October. View more and register to bid online at rmsothebys.com today.
