Re: Jim Clark +40
Didn`t remember. Nice touch phill. Another great star of this sport. I remember when i started to get some info about f1 history, Jim Clark was always very respected by other drivers, and everyone mentioned his natural talent and how calm he was. I started to think and to call him as the " Senna of the 60`s". They both were highly gifted talented drivers, and they both died doing something they loved.
Re: Jim Clark +40
yeah, he seems to be one of the forgotten stars of the sport despite the fact he won so many races+titles (more than Kimi or Alonso). he rarely gets a mention yet one-title Mansell and DHill always seem to get mentioned
