'''Jim Hall''' (born July 23, 1935 in Abilene, Texas<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Jim_Hall | title = The World Championship drivers - Where are they now? | accessdate = 2007-08-13}}</ref>) is a former [[racecar]] driver and constructor from the United States. He competed in [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1960}} to {{F1|1963}}, participating in 12 World Championship Grands Prix and numerous non-Championship races.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/archive/f1/title.html | title = The Formula One Archives | accessdate = 2007-08-13}}</ref>

His place in motorsport history came as the owner and driving force of [[Chaparral Cars]] of Midland, Texas. During the 1960s in the [[United States Road Racing Championship]], and later in the [[CanAm]], his Chaparral cars were the most innovative cars in racing. He was a very early adopter of aerodynamics applied to race cars and was leading proponent of that technology for an entire decade. He had a sabbatical in the early 1970s, racing in several [[Sports_Car_Club_of_America|SCCA]] [[Trans-Am Series]] races. Hall came back to prominence in the [[Champ Car|Championship Auto Racing Teams]] series, including two wins in the [[Indianapolis 500]] in 1978 and 1980; the latter with the first of the [[ground effect in cars|ground effect]] cars to be raced in the event. He would later turn to using off-the-shelf racecars to race in his Indycar team which was renamed '''Jim Hall Racing''' until 1996, when he retired from racing altogether. He now resides in Midland Texas, is active in the oil and gas business and motorsports racing legacies. The saga of Jim Hall and Chaparral Cars is documented at the [[Permian Basin Petroleum Museum]] in [[Midland, Texas]]. [http://www.petroleummuseum.org/Chaparral/Chaparralhome.html] His son, Jim Hall, Jr., resides in California and operates the [[Jim Hall Kart Racing School]].
