Differences Between Reynard and Lola Open Wheel Racers?

[spencer1984]

Subject line pretty well says it all...what would it take for Revell's c.1999 Reynard kit to work as a Lola B2K/00? I'm not well versed enough to spot the differences, but apparently those that know the cars can tell.

I'm not sure if you're going to find the perfect answer here, but I'd suggest studying photos via Google Images to see what stands out. I followed the CART series pretty closely in those days and one thing I seem to remember as being distinctive was the shape of the road course front wing: the Reynard had a drooped "mustache" kind of look, where the Lola's front wing was more straight across. Probably the most noticeable other difference would be in the shape of the side pods.

Reliable photos have been surprisingly hard to find, most sites that I've found seem to simply lump all CART vehicles together. Your answer was more helpful than anything I've gotten so far, now I have an anchor where I can start looking - thanks!

Try asking your question on the Open Wheel Racing Modeling  forum. There are usually some keen Indy Car model builders/enthusiasts there who will likely know the answers to your questions.
