John
Surtees -- Chaparral 2H
The least
successful of the Chaparrals. Designer Jim
Hall, seriously injured in his career-ending accident at the Stardust
Raceway CanAm race in Nov. '68, couldn't develop this car by driving it
himself as he had done with the other Chaparrals. Hired gun Surtees
was never comfortable in it.
This strange-looking car
had visibility problems. Note side windows. Surtees insisted
on having his seating position raised since he simply couldn't see out
in the original config- uration.. |
