Chaparral Cars - Tributes

Tributes

  • The 2005 Monterey Historic Automobile Races honored Chaparrals as the featured marque. Hall's Chaparral 2A had won the Monterey Sports Car Championships at Laguna Seca Raceway in 1964.
  • In the 2009 Monterey Sports Car Championships, Gil de Ferran painted his Acura ARX-02a to resemble a Chaparral in tribute to Jim Hall, for whose team de Ferran drove in his first two seasons in Champ Car, and also to commemorate de Ferran's final professional race. An exhibition race featuring the Acura and three Chaparrals was held that Friday, and Hall performed a demonstration lap shortly before the race.
