de Ferran was going to retire as soon as he finished the Laguna round of ALMS 2009 & a great tribute to Chaparral as he painted his car "Chaparral white" to tribute Jim Hall who discovered him waay back in the ol' CART days! I think he won the race aswell!

If memory serves - and that's a dangerous claim for an old codger like me - de Ferran's won a CART race at Laguna Seca for Hall. Was it his inaugural win in that series? As I think of it, different generations but two classy gentlemen in the world of motor racing: Hall and de Ferran.
As an aside, in the glory days of CanAm I had deep devotion and admiration for the creativity of Jim Hall.

Yep, 1995 I think! & this ain't from my memory, I was 2 years old at the time, tis from wikipedia! Hope they didn't lie to me again like they lied about Louis Walsh being on Top Gear last Sunday!

The car in the final 2 pics was in GT4! Very very fast but only 3 gears so it wasn't very quick off the line!

Gil, Simon, and Jim.
It would be fun if someone decided to buy the Acura ARX-02a. Who knows? Cytosport came out of nowhere with the ex-Penske RS Spyders...
