Car manufacturer Lola wins biggest ever contract
A Huntingdon-based car manufacturer has been awarded a contract to build 50 identical A1 Grand Prix Cars.

Lola Cars had been asked to supply 30 cars but A1 said the order was increased due to demand from countries hoping to sign-up for motorsport.

The contract is the largest single racing car order in motorsport's history, according to A1 Grand Prix.

The deal - for next Autumn's series - is shared with Derbyshire-based Zytek Engineering.
