| Description | A full and compelling account of the motor racing career of double World Champion Jim Clark.
Jim Clark became a household name for motor racing fans in the 1960s for his quiet assuming ways and very fast and smooth driving on the track. Driving for Lotus (1960-1968) he won two Formula One World Championships (1963 and 1965). He missed out on two more because of oil leaks. He took the Americans on in their own backyard, and with the designs of Colin Chapman he revolutionised the Indianapolis 500 becoming the first winner with a 'funny' rear-engined car in 1965. It was said by his mechanics and rivals that if Jim Clark could not win in a car then no one could. |
