oldtransamdriver Pro Circuit Offline Road racing, not street racing! Posts: 440	Jim Clark Apr 7^th, 2015 at 12:57pm 47 years ago to-day we lost a quiet Scottish farmer in a racing accident - the greatest driver of his era, and perhaps the greatest of all time. I was privileged to see him race several times. See also the Jim Clark thread on the Atlas f1 Nostalgia forum Robert

25 GP wins from 75 starts, he was certainly one of the best all time.
I watched him beat Graham Hill and John Surtees at Brands Hatch in the early sixties (1963?).
Clark in South Bend driving the works Lotus Cortina with one front wheel off the ground; legendary photograph.
Sedan on Saturday, GP car on Sunday and they had fun, great memories😊!

1997 Kodiak Fox Formula Ford.
1986 CRX GTU/Ice racer.

He could do things in a falcon that many today would be jealous of RIP Jim
