  • This Week in Champ Car History Эта Неделя В Истории
    TTHHIISS WWEEEEKK IINN CCHHAAMMPP CCAARR HHIISSTTOORRYY By Rick Shaffer ЭЭттаа ннееддеелляя вв ииссттооррииии ЧЧааммппККаарраа ИИссттоорриияя ЧЧааммпп//ИИннддииККаарраа (на основе текстов Рика Шаффера) Перевод, составление и дополнения – Павел aka SKOM © www.worldracing.info © www.montoya.ru г. Львов (Украина) – 2006/2007 1. Эта неделя в истории ЧампКара: 18 марта – 24 марта (на основе текстов Рика Шаффера) Когда Джонни Резерфорд первым пересёк финишную черту 22 марта 1981 года на треке в Финиксе «Phoenix International Raceway» и завоевал победу в гонке «Kraco Car Stereo 150», много людей, вероятно, допустили, что «Одинокая звезда J.R.» (Lone Star J.R.) просто выбирал место, где закончить победно сезон. Ведь Резерфорд доминировал и в сезоне ЧампКара 1980 года, на своём болиде команды Джима Холла «Chaparral 2-K», машине, которую назвали «жёлтая субмарина». На пути к своему первому титулу в ЧампКаре Резерфорд выиграл в 5-ти из 12-ти гонок, включая 3-ью победу в ИНДИ-500, а также сумел закончить 10 гонок подряд на лидирующем круге. Единственный сбой в сезоне произошёл в финале, также в Финиксе, когда в финальной части гонки Резерфорд столкнулся с другим болидом и вылетел в 4-ом повороте. Авария Джонни Резерфорда в Финиксе 1980 года. Резерфорд был слегка травмирован в этом крэше, а его Чапарель серьёзно повреждена, но уже меньше чем 5 месяцев спустя он вернулся, чтобы победить на этом же треке и на этой же машине. Однако, мало кто знал на тот момент, что господство революционной машины Холла подходила к концу. Второго поколения чампкаровской Чапаррели не было, и в конце сезона 1982 года Холл закрывает свои дела для восьмилетнего перерыва в серии.
