    Racing God JIM CLARK - Unmatched Maestro. By far the Greatest Driver Ever - No doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio, Senna, Prost, Stewart and countless others about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... !
    This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...
    In 1965 he had the most succesful year of any driver in the history of the sport: He won the F1 World Championship, the Tasman Series with F1 cars, the Indy 500, the British and French F2 Championship, the British Touring car Championship, totally over 50 (!) victories in one season !!!! For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just some examples of his mesmeric unique genius...Jim Clark - by far the greatest driver ever. No doubt. (Fangio and Senna about Clark)
    Above all, he was the perfect gentleman and just a nice guy.

    He died the week I got my SSCA license for Formula Ford. I was devastated. There is no doubt, he had that special quality few people possess, not just as a driver but as an icon ... And from all I have read, a great person too.

    Sir Jackie is a wonderful, humble, great man in every aspect. And his crusade to improve safety in racing is nothing short of heroic. Sir Jackie's efforts have saved many, many lives, and he should always be remembered for this, as well as his brilliant racing.

    Tom Purves talks of the day at Goodwood TT1959 Jimmy co drove the Tojerio Jaguar with his hero Masten Gregory and was faster, realising he did really have the talent to make it in the sport..

      Masten Gregory was Jim Clark's hero? That's a bit remarkable given the fact Gregory was know as a crasher when Clark would have been a fan. Also he would jump out of the car if he thought he was going crash, twice injuring himself bad enough to end his season....and he was an American.
      Do you have any idea why Masten Gregory?
