Meet Frieda: The Callaway Race Car

In late 1993, Callaway’s European distributor, Ernst Wohr, entered a Supernatural car in the European GT endurance series. Ernst had lined up Boris Said as his driver and he approached Reeves Callaway for engines, and some of Paul Deutschman’s time to do the bodywork for the car.

In 1994 the Callaway team placed themselves on pole at Le Mans, by five seconds in the Corvette-based model, and did very well. The car ran the rest of the major endurance races that year and it generated orders for three more cars for European customers.

See this car and many other Callaways in our Exhibit Hall, now through May 5.

Enjoyed seeing most of this exhibit, held over for the C4 Gathering. Chris C. gave an informative presentation on the Callaway businesses and a guided tour of the cars themselves. Many thanks to Chris, Callaway Cars and the owners who made their cars available for the exhibit and for the extension of the exhibit. Good meeting you, Chris. Tom
