Jim Clark – 1967 Lotus 49

Two time world champion Jim Clark driving his Lotus 49 to another victory.

Jim Clark is widely regarded as one of the greatest and naturally gifted motor racing drivers of all time, a national hero for Scotland and international icon of the 1960’s.

Jim Clark’s tragic death at Hockenheim in 1968 stunned the world and in terrible circumstances helped redefine the future of Formula 1 with a greater emphasis on safety led by his close friend Sir Jackie Stewart, another World Champion

James ‘Jim’ Clark was the son of a farmer from the Scottish Borders, modest and quietly spoken with a warm smile and dry wit. He was much admired for his sportsmanship as a gentleman alongside his remarkable natural ability as a racing driver and winning partnership with Lotus. He dominated world motor racing like no one before or since due to his success in all types of motor racing. To many he remains the greatest racing driver of all time
