Shadows were developed at a company founded by Don Nichols in 1969 called Advanced Vehicle Systems. They were originally designed by Trevor Harris and entered under the Shadow Racing Inc. banner. The first Shadow, the Mk.I, was entered in the Can-Am series with George Follmer and Vic Elford behind the wheel. The Mk.1 featured an innovative design, using very FEATURES AND PADDOCK HIGHLIGHTS small wheels for low drag and although the car was quick, it was not the most reliable car in the field. New designs piloted by Jackie Oliver and Brian Photo Credit: Les Tension Photography Redman saw impressive results in the early 70’s before embarking into Formula 1 and prior to the Can-Am Series being shortened in 1974. Since its retirement from competition some Shadows remain and continue the legacy at vintage events such as the WeatherTech® International Challenge with Brian Redman as a testament to their impressive design and performance from the glorious Can-Am era.
