Jim Clark
(1936—1968)

World champion racing driver

Berwickshire farmer turned Formula 1 driver, Clark won the world championship in 1963 and again in 1965, when he also won the Indianapolis 500. He died in an unexplained crash in practice at Hockenheim in 1968.

Jim Clark This compelling book marries together a study of a great period in the life of Jim Clark with the history of a great British marque, featuring in particular the famous Lotus 25, from its golden 1963 World Championship-winning year, through subsequent owners and crashes until the remains are discovered and the gallant old charger is restored to its original specification.
