16th and finished 11th, one lap down, while Alliot managed 14th, three laps down, after having to pit for a new wheel. Before the next race in Japan, Dalmas was diagnosed with Legionellosis which caused him to miss the final two races. Aguri Suzuki stepped in at short notice and qualified 20th despite having very little experience with the car; Alliot was one place ahead in 19th. Alliot managed to equal his best finish of the season in ninth, one lap down, and Suzuki finished 16th, three laps down. Pierre-Henri Raphanel took Dalmas's place at the season-ending Australian Grand Prix, but failed to qualify, while Alliot started 24th. In a disappointing end to the season for the team, he raced at the back of the field before running out of fuel; he was classified tenth, five laps adrift of the winner. 1989 Dalmas returned for the 1989 season, with Alliot still in place as his team-mate. The team used the revised LC88C with a Lamborghini V12 engine at the season-opening Brazilian Grand Prix but the car was unwieldy. Dalmas failed to qualify and Alliot qualified 26th and finished 12th. The car was replaced by the Lola LC89 by the 1989 San Marino Grand Prix, and so had failed to score any World Championship points during its time in Formula One. After Formula One English Formula Libre driver Rob Cox bought two of the LC88s at the end of the 1988 season. In one of them, he won the 1989 Design Fireplaces Single-Seater Championship and competed in the 1989 Castle Combe Formula Libre Championship. He sold the other one to pop record producer Mike Stock of Stock Aitken Waterman. The car holds the outright lap record at Lydden Hill Race Circuit. One of the LC88Cs is on display at the Manoir Automobile car museum in Loheac, France. Chassis HU-02 that was driven by Philippe Alliot is now housed in Adelaide, South Australia where the car last competed in 1988. Complete Formula One results (key) * Point scored using the LC89.
