The Lola T89/50 is an open-wheel formula race car chassis developed by British manufacturer Lola, for use in the International Formula 3000 series, a feeder-series for Formula One, in 1989.[2] It was later converted into a closed-wheel sports prototype race car, and used in the European Interserie, between 1994 and 1995.[3]
