{"product_id":"9781910505663","title":"Texas Legend : Jim Hall and his Chaparrals by George Levy","description":"One of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jim Hall is even better known as an innovator. From tiny Chaparral Cars in Midland, Texas emerged a series of vehicles that changed the face of racing. His high-winged Chaparral 2E Can-Am car and 2F World Sportscar Championship contender may be the most influential race vehicles of the 20th century. Today, every Formula 1 car uses net downforce, driver-adjustable wings, composite chassis, side-mounted radiators, semi-automatic gearboxes and advanced telemetry to optimize vehicle performance - all things Chaparral pioneered in the mid-1960s. Here he tells his story - his life, his cars, his relationship with Chevrolet, his partnership with Hap Sharp, his battles with sanctioning body bureaucracies - for the first time to award-winning author George Levy in this authorized biography.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308864254325,"sku":"9781910505663","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781910505663.jpg?v=1762809440","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781910505663","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
