CHAPARRAL 2

$35.00

The race winning Chaparral 2 driven by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp at the 1965 Sebring 12-Hour Grand Prix of Endurance. The 1965 Sebring race was the first year the FIA allowed both prototype cars and large-displacement sportscars to race in the same event – even though the existing regulations technically prohibited it. This allowed the race promoter to invite the Chevrolet powered Chaparral team, founded by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp to race against the big Ford and Ferrari teams. Along with being a very skillful driver, Jim Hall was an engineer and chief designer of Chaparral Racing Cars. Chaparral brought two cars, the first driven by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp, the second car was driven by Bruce Jennings and Ronnie Hisson (they qualified first and second). Although the Chaparrals were much lighter than the Fords and Ferrari’s and very fast (they had won the 1964 United States Road Racing Championship) there was concern that they would not last 12 hours. In the race, rain fell like a wall of water, 5 inches in the first 30 minutes of the storm, with winds reaching 50 mph. With three hours left in the race, the number 3 Chaparral was still in the lead, and stayed there all the way, finishing four laps ahead of the second place GT40 driven by Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren.
