We have the pleasure to offer the 2012 ex-Dempsey Racing Lola B12/80 LMP2, chassis HU05, for sale.
 
The B12/80 offered here is one of the last racing cars to be completed by Lola before they ceased operations in 2012. Available with powerplants from Nissan, Honda HPD, Lotus and - as with our car - the Judd BMW M3 V-8, the Lola B12/80 was the LMP2 version of the larger B08/60 chassis. With the large spinal fin, the car featured excellent stability at speed, a must for a car designed to go nearly 200-mph down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans.
Its technical data are as follows:Chassis:             Lola - Carbon fibre monocoque chassis, 2-door coupe 
Engine:              3.6 liter naturally aspirated JUDD BMW M3 V8 (derived from BMW S65)
Steering:            Rack-and-pinion steering with Kayaba power assist system
Power:                ca. 475 bhp
Gearbox:            Hewland/Lola 6-speed sequential manual gearbox
Suspension:      Double wishbone, push-rod actuated coil springs over dampers
Weight:               ca. 825 kg

HU05 was formerly owned by Dempsey Racing and was raced by Patrick Dempsey himself during the 2012 IMSA championship with top ten finishes at Lime Rock Park, Mid-Ohio, and Road America (detail race history is below in the history section).In 2019 the car was completely overhauled and serviced with invoices totaling over 100,000.
The work done included:

• complete rebuild of the V8 LMP2 engine including set-up by JUDD
• overhaul of the gearbox (stripping and crack-testing all parts)
• new carbon clutch
• refresh of the fuel lines and cooling system
• new suspension triangles
• rebuild of brake callipers
• new master cylinders

 
After the rebuild the car only did one shake-down.
 
In order to show the car and its capabilities, the car was entered by its current owner in the Masters Endurance Legends race at the 2022 Oldtimer GP where it ran extremely well evidenced by a 4th OA in race 1 and a win in race 2!
 
Spares include two sets of wheels and HU05 also comes with its current DMSB Wagenpass and technical documentation.
 
This stunning ex-Dempsey racing Lola B12/80 LMP2 would be a front-running entry for Masters Endurance Legends while it is also ready to make its re-appearance on the US Historic racing scene including HSRs Daytone 24hr Classic. ... For more information please visit www.rmd.be.
