1990 Lola Indy 500 Winner Arie Luyendyk by Replicarz in 1:18 Scale
The 1990 Lola, Winner of the Indianapolis 500 driven to victory by Arie Luyendyk in 1: 18 scale
At the 74th Indianapolis 500 held on May 27, 1990, Dutch driver Arie Luyendyk scored his first career IndyCar victory in a Lola‑Chevrolet for Doug Shierson Racing, taking the lead with about 32 laps to go and holding off a strong challenge to win by nearly 12 seconds. Luyendyk’s race was unique because it was dubbed “The Fastest 500” — he completed the 500 miles at an average speed of 185.981 mph, a record that stood for 23 years — thanks in part to only a handful of caution periods and superb reliability from his car. This win also marked the second consecutive foreign‑born winner, something that hadn’t happened since the mid‑1960s, and cemented Luyendyk’s place among the sport’s great Indianapolis specialists.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most authentic replication.
