25 victories, 33 pole positions, 28 fastest laps, 32 podiums, 2 times world champion and only 72 Grand Prix. And he died at the age of 32 so he coulb be in F1 during 10 years more.... just imagine what he could do if he didnt die...
Jim Clark was my dad's hero. Senna was my hero and we'd always argue about who was better. I visited Scotland and went to Jim Clark's museum in Duns. Walking in, the first thing I saw was a picture of Senna when he visited there to pay his respects to the great Jim Clark. No more arguments between me and my dad!
Senna asked some painter to make a huge painting for him in which all the Formula 1 greats would be portrayed. Senna had some provisions. Drivers like Stewart, Fangio, Lauda, Ascari and Fittipaldi would be included in the background, but NO Alain Prost. Also Senna wanted Jim Clark to be at the very center of view as if being ahead of the others afterall "He was the best driver ever." Senna's own words.
Don't know what happened to that painting or if was ever completed after '94..
My dad's favorite driver and who he always said was the best. He was gone before I was born and truly seems like a man to honor. I honor my father and Jimmy, they were born on the same day, and by day I mean the EXACT same day and hope dad has went to meet him in heaven.
Jim Clark is my hero as well as a relative, he was my grandfathers first cousin (Also a farmer), my family as his were not in to motor racing at all but my Dad told me how when his Dad was reading the paper at breakfast that announced Jimmys death they were all shocked and Dad said that was the first family loss he had ever experienced and realised things become very silent at that time I think now most of the world felt that way
I'm not entirely sure why but I find this video incredibly moving. I was aware of Jim Clark but nenver knew much about his story until I saw the BBC documentary made by Jackie Stewart's so. Very poignant. RIP.
my dad's sporting hero...along with Bobby Charlton. I have just finished reading a biography of him, in an effort to understand my dad's argument of best ever, and I dont quite agree still, but he has got very very close now.
Thanks Speed for this. Worth remembering Jim Clark for sure. I never met him of course, I was 15 in 1968 and the race at Hockenheim was the first motor-sport event I ever attended. I think of it every year. We didn't realize he was dead until the drive home when it was announced on the english language radio station on the Canadian base we lived on.
Wonderful just wonderful I was only 18 months old when he died ,but I remember my grandfather in tears any time his name was mentioned after that day ,but it pushed my older brother to go and work for Lotus RIP Colin and Jimmy
amazing man. to do what he did at that time in history with suspension & tire technology what it was, and a lotus to boot!! a person like jim comes along 'once' in a lifetime. his equal in my sport would be hailwood. away for 11 years, comes to the isle, and wins the formula race. these men are not of us mortals, born with the 'touch' we can only watch and admire from the fenses.......they were soooo good.............
Ian Phillips spoke of being at the BOAC 500K sportscar race.Ironically,Jim was to have competed in that race,but had to fulfill a sponser's obligation in Germany.....
Jim Clark the best driver of his generation, and among the best 5 drivers ever,with Senna,Fangio,Schumacher and Prost. What a names...................Thanks for posted this video.
@vince065us I am a relative of Jim Clark and I will never forget Jackie Stewart. Jim and him were good mates even shared an apartment together in London, after his death Jackie started the GPDA so he wouldnt lose any more of the friends he had in formula 1 great men both glad one of them is still alive.
@forr3st32 I never knew that Sir Jackie went through so much to promote driver safety.I was only two when Jimmy was killed.He was an icon.God bless you.
No, I am not crazy, and I was not comparing them. This would be meaningless. I was expressing my feelings; I loved them both, and felt their deaths deeply.
I went to Silverstone a couple of years ago you could buy other drivers signed gloves for about £350 Jim clarks signiture was £20,000 that says it all

He was the best by not even pushing too hard.
In times when he show his true potential, he was just not human, beyond comprehension.
