Chaparral 1J 1.0

Before the Brabham BT46B existed, there was the chaparral 2j 7 years earlier. Reports of the car though aren't very consistent, but now you can try it out yourself to see what it's really like

This was an odd duck of a vehicle, including a 3 speed auto, transparent cover, covering the back of the dials, and an unsophisticated GAINT V8! The fans were also run off of a small 2 stroke engine, mounted high, and behind the rear axle... that sure was a choice
