This Lola B12/80 is a rolling chassis that was prepared by Multimatic and campaigned by SpeedSource Race Engineering in the prototype class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship series between 2014 and 2016. Chassis MM07 debuted at the 2014 24 Hours of Daytona and completed two seasons as one of a pair of prototypes raced by Mazda with the company’s SkyActiv-D turbodiesel inline-four. After spending a third and final season powered by a turbocharged gasoline inline-four, the chassis was sold as a roller without an engine after the dissolution of SpeedSource in 2017. Finished in a red Mazda livery, the chassis features a carbon-composite monocoque structure and is equipped with an Xtrac 1059 six-speed sequential transaxle, adjustable pushrod suspension with Multimatic DSSV coilovers, AP Racing brakes with carbon-carbon discs, staggered 18” Motegi wheels, and a MoTeC steering-wheel display unit. This B12/80 was acquired by the seller four years ago and is now offered as a rolling chassis without an engine in Michigan with a collection of spare parts and a bill of sale. The B12/80 chassis was an evolution of the B08/80 introduced in 2008 alongside the larger B08/60 as Lola’s first closed-cockpit sports prototypes since the early 1990s. Following the termination of Lola’s race car manufacturing operations in 2012, Multimatic Motorsports and Carl Haas Auto reached a licensing deal to continue the distribution of Lola’s designs. In late 2013, Mazda announced its return to a works prototype racing program in the newly-formed Tudor United SportsCar Championship with two Multimatic-supplied B12/80 chassis powered by a version of Mazda’s 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D turbodiesel inline-four. Chassis MM07 achieved a top finish of sixth place in diesel trim before managing three fourth-place results with a gasoline engine in 2016. The chassis comprises a carbon-composite monocoque with symmetrical roll hoops under closed bodywork constructed using pre-preg composite with a honeycomb core. Features include a detachable rear panel with a vertical stabilizing fin, an adjustable carbon-composite rear wing, a fixed front diffuser, dive planes with configurable geometry, cutouts atop each wheel arch, a roof-mounted intake snorkel, and a quick-release nose panel cover. Black painted Motegi Racing wheels are secured by self-locking hubs and measure 18×12.5” up front and 18×13” at the rear. Continental Extreme Contact DR racing slicks measuring 320/680 and 325/710 are mounted at each end, respectively. The braking system incorporates AP Racing six-piston aluminum calipers paired with Hitco 380mm carbon-carbon ventilated discs and pads. The cockpit is accessed via butterfly doors and houses a single carbon-fiber seat shell behind an adjustable steering column and adjustable pedals. The quick-release steering wheel integrates a MoTeC display panel and shift-light module and is situated to the right of a dash panel hosting various switchgear. The paddle-shifted Xtrac 1059 sequential gearbox features six forward gears and reverse and is housed in a casing profiled to accommodate high underbody diffuser panels. Maximum engine input was rated at 590 lb-ft. The engine, fuel system, exhaust, and engine-related electrical components are absent. The suspension setup incorporates double-wishbones, pushrod-and-rocker-operated coilover Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve dampers, and quick-change anti-roll bars at front and rear. Geometry can be adjusted via variable pickup points on the tub and transaxle casing. A collection of spare parts accompanies the chassis and includes aerodynamic panels, two sets of wheels, various housings, heat exchangers, clutch shafts, driveshafts, suspension arms, and brake rotors, hats, and pads.
