Following the success of the B16 Spyder during the latter part of 1970, Chevron their new model into production for 1971 as the Chevron B19, since the Federation Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA) were creating the European 2-Litre Sports Car Championship for Makes for light open-cockpit sports prototypes which used engines under 2,000 cc (120 cu in) which were becoming popular cars in the International Championship for Makes. Chassis manufacturers Lola, Chevron, Abarth and Porsche all offered cars to customers which were designed for this category. Races varied from 250 km (160 mi) to 500 km (310 mi), and ran either as a single event or in two heats. Grand tourer cars were also allowed to participate, although they were not included in the championship standings.
Ford-powered (BDA or FVC) Chevrons won the inaugural Championship for Makes in the opening 1970 season, with Jo Bonnier leading Lola by a single point, but Lola triumphed in 1971.
The Chevron B21 of 1972 was an evolution of the B19 that had raced in 1971. Some B19 chassis were updated to the B21 specifications. The cars took part in the 2-liter European Championship from 1972 but also in other prestigious competitions such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Cosworth 2000 engines and sometimes even BMW 2000. The Championship for Makes was won by Osella, entering the series in partnership with Abarth and dominated the 1972 championship with five victories.
The Chevron B23 of 1973 was an evolution of the B23 that had raced in 1972. Some B21 chassis were updated to the B23 specifications. The B23 featured a simple bolt on body part to rear wheel arch, that was also used on some B21s. Minor changes were done to the suspension geometry, related to the tire development that had taken place.
Lola won the championship once more in 1973 before the new Alpine A441-Renault swept the 1974 season with nine wins in nine races.
The 1975 season was cancelled shortly after it had begun, only two rounds being completed before rising fuel costs forced a premature end to the championship. FISA however pressed forward with the creation of a World Championship for open-cockpit prototypes, combining not only 2-Litre entries from the European Championship, but also the prototypes with larger engines which had previously run in the World Championship for Makes.
Known bug or mistakes:
* the rear lights and brake light are difficult to see. I don't know why.
* the air intake in the front cover is a bit to low. I had to adjust a few liveries because of that. I noticed it too late.
* The 1972 and later cars should have an open cockpit. I realised it to late and it was too difficult to change.
* The cars physics were pieced together by me - and I don't know much about the topic.
Also I'm not a very good (joypad) driver, so the result might be iffy - no way of knowing.
* When the front part is lost in an accident, it remains visible in the cockpit perspective. I don't know if it is possible to have missing parts in that perspective at all.
* There is a graphics glitch when the front is lost. The switched off headlights remain visible.
