Lola T70, Autobau Car Museum, Romanshorn, Switzerland
"Lola Cars International Ltd. was a British race car engineering company in operation from 1958 to 2012. The company was founded by Eric Broadley in Huntingdon, England, and endured for more than fifty years to become one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of racing cars in the world. Lola Cars started by building small front-engined sports cars, and branched out into Formula Junior cars before diversifying into a wider range of sporting vehicles. Lola was acquired by Martin Birrane in 1998 after the unsuccessful MasterCard Lola attempt at Formula One.
Lola Cars was a brand of the Lola Group, which combined former rowing boat manufacturer Lola Aylings and Lola Composites, that specialized in carbon fibre production. After a period in bankruptcy administration, Lola Cars International ceased trading on 5 October 2012. Many of Lola's assets were subsequently purchased by a partnership composed of Multimatic Engineering and the Carl A. Haas Automotive company." - info from Wikipedia.
"The idea of founding AutobauAG came to the enthusiast and racing car driver Fredy Lienhard through a key experience. He guided the children of an elementary class to see his private car collection and saw the enthusiasm and joy of the children. From this experience, Fredy Lienhard has developed the idea of making her collection a museum open to the public. The renovated, high-quality plant - the old tanks factory - offers an exciting historical backdrop.
Visitors can safely approach the cars, and under the supervision of the guides, are allowed to enter many of the cars on display, taking pictures and looking under the bonnets. The museum is constantly evolving, includes over 100 vehicles, in addition to the special collection dedicated to the Sauber Formula1.
Fredy Lienhard, well-known and appreciated in the racing world, founded in 1968 Lista Racing racing in many categories (Formula 2, Can-Am, IMSA, 24 Hours of Daytona, etc) active until 2008.
His company LISTA produces drawer systems and other furnishing components for offices and mechanical workshops, and nowadays almost all car manufacturers use these equipment, including the various Formula 1 stables such as Ferrari, McLaren and Sauber." - info from Automotive Museums.
During the summer of 2018 I went on my first ever cycling tour. On my own I cycled from Strasbourg, France to Geneva, Switzerland passing through the major cities of Switzerland. In total I cycled 1,185 km over the course of 16 days and took more than 8,000 photos.
