Chaparral 2E nr. 65 Governor's Trophy 1966

In 1966, in Nassau, in the 1st. Governor's Trophy & Nassau Tourist Trophy, Hap Sharp won the race with this Chaparral 2E that Slot.it reproduces in plastic and 1/32 scale.

In 1966 Chaparral introduced model 2E for the Can-Am series. With its high mounted wing, clever aerodynamics and rear mounted radiators, it was the car that changed racing, forever. Its best result was at Laguna Seca, where the 2E of Phil Hill won the race and Jim Hall finished second.

The wing was mounted to the rear suspension uprights to put the downforce directly into the tires without compressing the suspensions.
The wing position could be adjusted, with a foot pedal mechanism, from maximum downforce angle for cornering to minimum drag angle for straightaway.
Of all the Chaparrals, this car was Jim Hall's favourite.
