    Fun fact: that extra exhaust pipe up top is for the snowmobile engine that actually powers the fans. It took the pole during Road Atlanta's first ever race weekend in the Can-Am Challenge series, and proceeded to keep taking pole positions with the margin to second place being around 2 seconds. Over one lap.
    Driving this thing in the mission challenges was nuts. It has 70's brakes, 90's power, and legit LMP1 levels of downforce. It's utterly unhinged.

    If memory serves reason the 2J looks like an appliance is because Jim Hall and his team basically built it as an engineering exercise/test mule, with an eye toward running it with properly developed bodywork during the 1971 Can Am season. But they realized the underbody suction concept was so powerful, so much of a game changer and so much of a threat to the then-dominant McLaren factory team that, with encouragement from Lexan (which provided the side skirts that sealed the 2J to the pavement), they ran it in 1970 with rudimentary bodywork that was basically there to cover what was underneath and satisfy the Group 7 rule that required enclosed wheels.
    There were multiple occasions where it had the pace to take the fight to the McLarens, only to have the two-stroke snowmobile engine that drove the suction fans die, turning the 2J into a contraption that was probably about as unwieldy as it was in this daily race. Even so, the FIA outlawed "sucker cars" globally (Gordon Murray's Brabham BT46B and its clever workaround notwithstanding.) at the end of the 1970 racing season, and Chaparral left sports car racing altogether.

    High downforce cars with terrible traction under acceleration seem to be the cars I'm best at driving, so I actually loved this race (along with the F1500 race a few weeks ago, and the MP4/4 time trial a bit before that). I did the entire week (well, half week) without qualifying and won about 40 races. Unfortunately like it shows in your video, participation was low, and I was also often the only A+ (or anyone above B) in these races, and several times I was leading by the time we got out of T1 on Lap 1, despite starting mid-pack at best most of the time. Even though I ran away with a lot of these, the car always gave me a lot to do, even with TCS on 1, so I was never board, and many times I found myself getting comfortable, only to have it oversteer at the exit of one of the corners when I got on the throttle a fraction of a second too early, giving me a 5s penalty.

    If I remember correctly, this thing was so overpowered (High horse power) and the g forces so high during cornering that they decided it was a better idea to keep an automatic transmission, so the pilot could focus on piloting. Yes it did die a little on the exit of slow corners because automatic transmissions were like that, but it also meant less wheelspin. Essentially, traction control.

    Here's a tip from a video gamer that loves racing games and always places first. Never press the brake, only release throttle. Brakes are used for drifting only, and if you don't know when to brake then you should not.

    I remember driving this car back in GT6 and what i actually found out about this car is that you can make the chaparral 2J the fastest car in reverse on SSRX.

    Sir Jackie Steward once drove it and he said the 2J was amazing and he could not get it to spin. He said if you went too fast into a corner it would just very gently slide out of the corner in slow motion. He also said that the level of grip was amazing and he was overtaking other cars from the outside of the corner. So exactly the opposite of what the car is like in GT7.

    Did you turn the 'downforce fans on? From what I remember, this Chaparral had a SECOND engine, about the size of a snowmobile engine, which powered fans than sucked the air from under the car, creating suction, which equals downforce. Maybe there's some secret switch that 'turns on' the fans......

  • @treyreppe4348

    The car had a extreme blower out the back fans. It "cooled" by creating a giant vacuum under the car literally sucking it to the road. So its most like a vacuum cleaner or air conditioner in function.

  • @noone6905

    The fan system is actually not for ac. It was used to apply suction to create more down force sucking the car closer to the ground and blowing the air out back. It would increase downforce and traction while also disrupting the airflow behind it so that other cars tailing couldn’t take advantage of drafting close behind. The disruption in the airflow behind is ultimately why the technique for down force was banned. The car also had a hard time sticking the the track and you would randomly lose traction if the seal between the car flaps and ground wasn’t good enough (often on the turns).

    I'm not sure it should behave like that. 650-680 HP is a lot, but the weight of the car, fuelled plus downforce, could be around 2000 kg-force, so it also had a lot of grip. What's important is that downforce in this car didn't change much with speed, so it had all that grip at any speed.

  • @johnsullivan937

    Man gt7 would be so much better if poliphany focused on filling out racing series like this, can am/group 6, group c1, 90's gto/gtu,, lmp2/lmp3 instead of just having one make to populate an entire grid. To me the diversity in cars all racing together is what makes a race interesting. Each car having different strengths and weaknesses. I'd love to see some other classes get the gr3/gr4 treatment. Oh and if they would take out those few cars in gr3 that make no damn sense, having an entire grid of modern gt3 cars racing alongside a 90's gt1 mclaren is just stupid.

    I done many grinds on that track with that car. When coming out of a turn, you must be gentle with the accelerator until all side pressure is gone or you continue to turn into the wall. No braking in turns. That said, it will out-turn just about everyone in a corner. If you are ever in Midland, TX they will let you sit inside the original car. Just think - if they hadn't outlawed it, there would have been entire grids full of these monstrosities in the US.

  • @thunderkat2287
    @thunderkat2287 Год назад

    What the fans out the back are actually doing is blowing air out from under the car, thus creating a vacuum under the vehicle and by extension- *literal TONS* of downforce, even while standing at idle. This allows the car to turn on a dime while maintaining a slippery drag coefficient (at least, for the time), as you don't have a massive wing in the back acting like a parachute.
    Only problem back in the 70s is that you literally made your opponents eat your dust, as the vacuum fans had a tendency to pick up debris from the track and YEET them out the back of the car, creating a massive dust cloud.
    For this reason, I think the appliance it most resembles is a roomba :3
