I'll second that! Graham Hill was another great man on & off the track..I met him a few times & had some lovely chats even tho' I was only 12 or so. Always had time for me & I've never forgotten that kindness & try to treat younger people in much the same vein..He was so special. I was devastated when he was killed in Nov 75'..I still miss him. He was such a gentleman..I was the happiest I've ever been watching a GP when Damon won the drivers championship in 96'..Great memories. RIP Graham..

The last guy Jim Clark spoke to was his engineer Dave 'Beaky' Sims..I knew Dave when I lived nr Silverstone in a pub, when I was 11/13 yrs old. He was chief engineer for the Hesketh F1 team by then. A really genuinely lovely man. If anyone knows of his where abouts these days could they please let me know by way of a personal message to my account on youtube? I'd be so grateful as he was very good to me plus I'd love to know how he is..Thanx folks!! RIP Jim, you were the greatest!

@rdtli Não há como provar que Jim Clark foi o melhor. Mas se tem um piloto, um não, dois...Pilotos que não perdem em nada para o Senna, são eles Jim Clark e Juan Manuel Fangio.

@AndyWalkerFS How can you say Jim Clark was nothing??? Jim Clark was EASILY one of the greatest drivers during his time period, just like Senna was. Your a fucking ignorant dick for posting that!

The most tragic aspect to this loss, was that Jim Clark was driving this race simply as a favor to Colin Chapman.

Jim Clark...one of the greatest racers, and finest gentlemen to ever grace the world. There will never be another like him...

@BearFlight Yes, That's why Jim and Mario were my guys. Chapman said they were his absolute top two as well. The Daytona win was very significant because he'd never even sat in one before and he stepped in and one the biggest Nascar event. Mario's my hero as is probably obvious ( even though I'm Scottish ) Jim showed the same huge talent and could have driven everthing too,given time. It's a shame that Jim & Mario didn't have more track time together. I'm sure they'd have connected.

@We Die Young....JC was thrown 15 feet into the air, breaking his neck hitting a tree..

Sad but true......

Best driver ever to sit in a car....

Always remember this date, RIP JC......
