My Take
Chip Robinson is precisely the kind of driver I love to write about. Winning the 1987 IMSA Camel GT title alongside the Daytona 24 Hours, then taking the 1989 Sebring 12 Hours, he proved himself across endurance racing's golden era partnered with legends like Derek Bell and Al Unser Jr. Endurance racing rewards more than raw speed; it demands mechanical sympathy, stamina, and relentless focus over countless hours. The fact that he also carried an engineer's background suggests a cerebral racer who understood his machine from the inside out. Born in 1954, this Philadelphia native is the real, craftsman-driver article, and I admire that breed.
