Some questions for a whole point: What car? Who drove it? Which race? When? Where? At which point of the race track was the photo taken?

Jo Bonnier driving Chaparal 2D at Nurburgring ADAC 1966 1000 Qualifying on 3rd June at the Karussell corner?

Yes!! Quick answer, correct answer and a complete answer! One more point for you. I am looking forward to the puzzles you will soon serve us...

I was surprised, that there was no Chapparal puzzle here up  to no.
Second driver in race was Phil Hill, theiy have won the race and that was the first victory of an race-car with automatic transmisson (only two gears, Chapparal 2F got a third gear). Chapparal built various race-cars, with a lot of new and revolutionary ideas.
Jim Hall, the developer, had the reputation to have 100 new ideas per day. 99 of them were unfit, but one of them was brillant. I think, one brillant idea per day is a good rate for an engineer

There are some but you need to spell the name correctly (Chaparral) for them to show up!

I did so and I only found one.

There are 2 pages show up when you Search, but many of the puzzzles just appear because 'Chaparral' was asked as a question in a post.
But several of the Chaparral cars have been puzzles, e.g. 2, 2E, 2J and others.

Thanks, I'll search again.
