Lola-eigenaar Martin Birrane plotseling overleden

Martin Birrane, de eigenaar van Lola, is op 82-jarige leeftijd plotseling overleden. Birrane stond aan het hoofd van Lola Cars International, nadat de Ier het bedrijf in 1997 had overgenomen. Ook was Birrane eigenaar van het Mondello Park circuit in Ierland.

Lola probeerde in 1997 toe te treden tot de Formule 1. Toen dit plan faalde, kocht Birrane het bedrijf en veranderde hij de naam Lola Cars in Lola Cars International. Tot het faillissement in 2012 ontwierp Lola verschillende raceauto's, waaronder de A1 Grand Prix-auto's en verschillende LMP-prototype's. 

Sinds 2012 hield Lola zich bezig met het verlenen van service voor klanten en ook beschikte het nog altijd over een geavanceerde windtunnel in het Engelse Huntingdon. Tot zijn dood was Birrane werkzaam voor de organisatie van het vijftigjarige bestaan van Mondello Park en hield hij zich bezig met Lola's activiteiten tijdens het Goodwood Festival of Speed.

    Altijd een verlies, mijn medeleven.
    Misschien wat off topic maar eigenlijk ook niet, ik lees net dat het dochtertje van Robert Doornbos en Chantal Bles ernstig ziek is. Ik wens Robert en Chantal alle kracht toe welke ze nodig hebben en heel veel sterkte om deze klap een plek te geven.

      Ja die is al een tijd ernstig ziek en volgens mij gaat het nog steeds niet beter. Wat dat betreft zit Robert daar soms ook met een masker op leuk te doen. Maar ja, de show must go on. Hopelijk komt het goed.

      Sterkte Chantal en Robert, wat ik in de krant lees, is niet mis. En 2 jaar nog maar.

      Ook heel veel kracht en sterkte van onze kant gewenst.
      Zo jong en zo ernstig ziek. Zag het net op Insta van Chantal Bles.
      Ze moest net even haar verhaal kwijt. Ze is toch ook hoog zwanger?

      Best knap van Robert dat hij wel goedgehumeurd op TV zijn werk doet. Hoop dat het goed komt...

    Waarom staat er ‘plotseling’ in de titel? Zie dit niet terug in de tekst of uitleg. Of was deze gebeurtenis niet spannend genoeg?

      Met alle respect aangezien elk overlijden tragisch is voor de nabestaanden, maar wanneer je 82 bent is de kans groter dat het ‘plotseling’ gebeurt dan wanneer je 28 bent...

    In principe verwacht je in het westen van nagenoeg iedereen boven de 70 dat ze ''plots'' neer vallen niet?
