Jim Clark

Jim Clark was born in Kilmary, Scotland on the 4th of March 1936. He went to public school until the age of sixteen and became interested in motorsports.

From the age of seventeen Clark found himself racing in rallies and club races. In 1960 he was given the chance to drive an F1 lotus in the Dutch grand prix. After that he drove a few more races in the season and achieved one podium place and received points in a further three races.

During his F1 career he only drove for lotus and between 1960 and 1968 he won 25 races two World Championships, once in 1963 and again in 1965. In 1968 he was the tile favourite but was tragically killed in Germany whilst driving in an F2 race.
