Video: Driving a Lola T70 Spyder smoothly is a lesson in self-restraint

The sun is out and Sebring is looking fantastic… Admittedly, we’re watching a clip from all the way back in 2013, but nonetheless, it looks like a marvellous day to get out on track.

And thanks to this onboard you can – at least virtually – join Jim Pace in the Lola T70 Spyder for a blistering lap of Florida’s famous international raceway.

With 120-degree views from the camera perched aft of the cockpit, watch as the accomplished sportscar driver pilots the open top Lola smoothly around the circuit, its Webers carburettor-equipped small-block V8 engine purring in accord.

Maintained by Heritage Motorsports Ford, the T70 Spyder dates from the mid-‘60s, when Lola developed the chassis for American V8-powered sportscar racing.

Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: This is the angriest sounding Audi A4 we've ever heard
