EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the focus is on Phil Hill and Mike Spence as they attend to their Chaparral 2F, a revolutionary race car from the innovative Chaparral Cars Inc. The image was captured during the prestigious Nurburgring 1000 kms endurance race held on May 28, 1967, at the iconic Nurburgring circuit in Germany. The scene unfolds in the pitlane, with the team's pit crew working diligently in the background. The Chaparral 2F, adorned with the distinctive number CZV-659, is positioned at the forefront, its sleek, aerodynamic design on full display. The car's most notable feature is the large, adjustable rear wing, which was a groundbreaking innovation for the time. Phil Hill, an American racing legend, and Mike Spence, a talented British driver, formed a formidable team for Chaparral. Hill, a two-time Formula One World Champion, brought his wealth of experience to the partnership, while Spence, a rising star in the racing world, provided youthful enthusiasm and raw talent. The Nurburgring 1000 kms was a grueling test of endurance and driving skill, and the Chaparral 2F was a formidable contender. The team's innovative approach to racing, including their use of aerodynamics and lightweight materials, set them apart from their competitors. This photograph captures a moment of intense focus and determination as Hill and Spence prepare for the next stage of the race. The pit crew, poised and ready, reflect the team's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to success. The image is a testament to the spirit of innovation and competition that defined the world of motorsport in the 1960s.
