It's been over 45 years since he last raced, but to many Jim Clark remains the greatest racing driver of all time. Clark had his first race in 1956 and by 1958 he was racing for his local team. He made is Formula 1 Grand Prix debut on 6 June 1960. His first Drivers World Championship came in 1963 driving the Lotus 25 and won seven out of the 10 races. In 1968, Clark died in a tragic racing accident in Germany, the cause of which is still unknown.
Director: Jason Fenwick

Jim Clarke may not be considered the greatest by everyone, but is arguably the most talented ever to grace the race track. He won whatever he drove; saloon cars, Indy, sports cars and F1. The first GP I, aged 8, ever attended with my dad was Jimmy Clark’s last… the 1968 South African Grand Prix. He was sublime. I remember the day he died… I cried uncontrollably.

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp well you can add a few to the list I posted for Clark too. Hulme was a great driver but I'm sure you're not suggesting that he was number one rather than Clark ? His results don't come anywhere close to Clark. You mention things that Hulme did bugger all of anyway. Absolutely ludicrous. His F1 and Canam titles came in vastly superior cars. Denny said plainly himself that he won the F1 title because Jack ran the new Repco engine and had so many failures

Correct. I'm fortunate enough to have lived in Duns for close on 40 years, a 10 minute walk from the Museum and I've had a few bits of inside info about private visits when it's normally closed. Family holidays got in the way and I missed meeting Senna and Dan Gurney, but I have an extensive collection of books signed by Sir Jackie Stewart, Innes Ireland, Eric Bryce, Roy Salvadori, Eric Dymock, Ian Scott Watson, Sir Stirling Moss, Jenks, Professor Sid Watkins, Murray Walker, Roger Clark, Tony Mason and many others, not forgetting Louise Aitken-Walker who with her husband Graham, still run a local garage business.

Clark also drove in one NASCAR race at Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina. He drove for Holmon & Moody that day. After the race he said he really enjoyed driving the big V-8 stock cars. He also planned to race in NASCAR at other events but he was unfortunately killed just months after the Rockingham race.

Seen Jim race in the first Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport in 1967, it was pouring rain how those guys could see was something not human, the roostertails of water coming off those rain tires made the car behind disappear Jim used to come around the corner we were watching from by playing with the throttle his front wheels would have about 4-5 inches of air under the front tires he would back off as soon as they landed he throttled up more air about three or four times every time he went by and like clockwork same thing every time nobody else did that they had to slow and accelerate carefully not Jim on off the throttle air clearance under the front tires three or four times and he was gone, never ever seen that happen again you tell me he couldn't drive, such precision and maximum confidence could only accomplish that by throttling he made the car turn without steering input hitting the throttle to turn the rear while the front had air under them every time he gave it throttle in bursts unbelievable, I never ever forgot that sight of air under both front tires the whole race without spinning off, this guy was not human but second to none..

Without a doubt, Jim Clark set records which are unbeaten to this day, which to me demonstrates his amazing ability. He could win driving any kind of racing car. He is in my opinion the greatest ever driver with superb talent to ever sit in a formula one car. Unlike Shumacher, Senna and Verstappen he never had to try and push driver's off the track to win, because he was always so far ahead of his rivals. Senna thought he was the greatest ever too.

Clark could have won the '63 Indy 500 if Lotus had just run the Ford engine as they received it with the Hilborn fuel injection. But the lazy-ass lotus mechanics, too confused to pick up a phone and call Ford for info on the Hilborn system replaced it with Weber carbs-inmates running the asylum. If Lotus had bothered to take the 45 min to learn how to use the Hilborn with it's extra hp, Clark would have lap lead instead of being half a lap down at the end of the race. '64 again, Lotus snatch's defeat from the jaws of victory when Chapman makes the crazy tire decision. In '65, Lotus manages to get out of it's own way, with a Hilborn injected Ford motor and Firestone tires, Clark does what he could have done the last 2 years, win the Indy 500.
@DennisMerwood-xk8wp
@DennisMerwood-xk8wp 29 дней назад
What a lot of nonsense! The 63' pushrod Ford V8's NEVER had Hilborn injection. And of course it was not the carburation that limited the engines power. It's that these stock engines were too fragile to survive the revs needed to make your mythical extra horsepower.
