Description
Born in 1936 in Fife, Scotland, Jim Clark is remembered today as one of, if not the, greatest natural talents ever to sit behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car. Born into a farming family, Jimmy began his racing career in local road rally events before graduating to circuit racing in a borrowed DKW. In 1958, he caught the attention of the local Border Reivers team and drove a Jaguar D-Type across national events. He won 18 of the races he entered.
In 1958, he drove a Lotus Elite at Brands Hatch, finishing second behind Lotus boss Colin Chapman, and launched his career with the famous Norfolk marque. In 1960, he drove for Lotus in Formula 1, making his debut at the Dutch GP and winning his first Grand Prix at the Belgian race in 1962 at the daunting Spa-Francorchamps. His first World Championship came in 1963 and was followed by another in 1965, both with Lotus.
His achievements weren't limited to F1, though - he won the Indy 500, raced at Le Mans, and behind the wheel of the fantastic Lotus Cortina he won numerous touring car races and a British Saloon Car Championship. Regarded by many as the most naturally talented driver ever to reach Formula 1, Jimmy was tragically killed during a Formula 2 race in Germany in 1968. Today he's remembered as a true great of the sport, a natural talent like no other, and a man unrivalled on the track.
