Chaparral 2J @ 2005 Monterey Historics

Demonstration laps of the Chaparral 2J driven by Vic Elford during the 2005 Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca. The 2J had two fans at the rear driven by a snowmobile engine to evacuate air from beneath the car, sucking the car to the road. In the video you can hear the snowmobile engine over the bass note of the Chevy V8. Phil Hill & Jim Hall are driving two of the other Chaparrals.

This car is an absolute beast in GT5 even sounds ok considering the poor job overall in the sound department.

As a teen, I saw both the fan car and the big wing Chaparrals race at Riverside in the mid 60's. They were much faster than their competition, though mechanical problems with the gadgets (the moving wings and the fan motors) made them not completely reliable...

Jim Hall was such inventor - it´s sad that he is not recognised more here in Europe. I mean it took Colin Chapman 10 years more to discover ground effect, though in a different way. Gordon Murray was also probably inspired from Jim Hall creating the Brabham fan car.
