U.S.-BUILT CAR
Major Victory In Germany
(N.Z Press Assn.—Copyright) ADENAU (Germany).
An American-built Chaparral powered by a Chevrolet engine made racing history on Sunday by winning the Neuburgring 1000 kilometre race.
It became the first nonEuropean car to score a major post-war race victory in the old world.
Driven by the former American racing champion, Phil Hill, and Joakin Bonnier, a Swede who lives in Geneva, the shbvel-nosed racer humbled some of the greatest names in world racing. The Chaparral covered the 44 laps in an official 6hr 58 min 47.65ec.
