Have you ever considered who had the most influence over modern racing car technology? For me, that would be either Colin Chapman or Jim Hall. Chapman, of course, was founder of Lotus. But do you know Jim Hall? He is the founder of Chaparral Cars, but also a driver who competed in Formula 1, as well as being a brilliant engineer. The most innovative of all the Chaparral cars was this 1970 2J, aka the "sucker" car. It featured two fans at the rear of the chassis, which were a part of a suction system that produced downforce. Other innovations included an adjustable spoiler and a two-pedal semi-automatic transmission... All in all, it's one of the most outlandish and imaginative race cars ever produced. The 2J was undoubtedly Chaparral's greatest achievement, and lives on in motorsport legend to this day.
