Jim Clark was perhaps the greatest race car driver of the 1960's, if not the greatest of all-time.

Sorry but, Clark can't be compared with Senna! Senna was never smooth and predictable like Clark. Senna was fast but rough and irratic and made other drivers uncomfortable around him on the track. Clark was fast smooth and respected by his fellow racers, so I am sorry but they really do not fall into class!

@cattleman6420012000 So true i think a respect these guys had because they put their lives in each others hands.
-
In 89 he had 6 mechanical failures and the mess at Suzuka. In 88 he won fairly.
-
I always think Dick Dastardley was based on Grahame Hill
-
I wouldn't say Senna "sucked" compared to Clark, but Senna did after all lose on points to Prost both in 1988 and 1989 (only the best 11 races counted, otherwise Prost would have won both).
Nobody ever beat Clark in any car, and as long as the Lotus held he was usually at the front, even in uncompetitive cars.
In Zandvoort 1966, Clark was driving a Lotus with a 2litre Climax engine, and leading against Jack Brabham in the 3,0 litre Brabham Repco. A mechanical failure robbed him.
-
At that point he had won the British GP three years in a row. All of them in the Lotus 25 Climax.

@ian7796 agreed
-
I think Prost's style resembles Clark's as far as the smoothness goes. Senna, though a great driver, was erratic and didn't mind crashing into other cars.

Sorry mate you got it wrong, but the late Jim Clark was not an Englishman, he was a Scotsman and proud of it, almost as much as Jackie Stewart! Other famous fast Scots, - Dario Franchitti, Tom Walkinshaw, David Coulthard, Danald Campbell, Colin McRae, Alister McRae, John Cleland, Susie Stoddart, David Leslie to name a few of the better known ones!

Senna sucked compared to Clark. Clark was the greatest. EVER!!!!

As I mentioned, Clark was my absolute hero. I was stunned and terribly depressed when he got killed. On top of all that those men were great pals with each other. Even the great Senna deliberately smashed in to Prost to stop him winning one of his many titles. The very great Jim Clark was a true gentleman. I am so grateful for all the information shown on Jim Clark.
