Classic Motorsport Retro-Fact Many
say James (Jim) Clark, OBE was the most talented driver ever to drive a Grand
Prix car. He was World Champion twice, won the Indianapolis 500 and British
Saloon Car Championship and, unlike today‘s ‘super heroes‘, was a quiet man and
a farmer by trade, who stayed loyal to one team, Lotus and Colin Chapman,
throughout his career. His last win was the 1968 South African Grand Prix. He
died at Hockenheim just weeks later.
