Vic Elford... I remember him when he was working for Gotti wheels in my small village in southern France. He was a nice guy, giving us some Gotti stickers when we would see him in the street as we were coming back from school. I can't remember what car he was driving. It was a tarnished red sport car with a small union jack sticker on the left front fender, that's all I remember...

Nice article. Never seen the Chaparral 2H!
Shame it's never been created one for GTL/GTR2...

Thanks jeannomiller
