Introduction and Early Life "Clark came through at the end of first lap of the race so far ahead that we in the pits were convinced that the rest of the field must have been wiped out in an accident" - Eddie Dennis, describing the dominance of Jimmy Clark at Spa-Francorchamps 1967 What more can be said about Jim Clark that hasn't already been said? Does there need to be another tribute to him? I'm sure there are those who would say no, though not maliciously but merely because it's already been done. But Jim Clark was such a one of a kind. Therefore, it is solely because of Jim Clark's gentlemanly behavior that epitomizes the word "class" that I submit that there cannot be enough tributes on his behalf.
Jim was born March 4th 1936 on a sheep farm in Kilmany, Fife, in the Berwickshire hills of Scotland near the English border. He spent his time playing cricket and hockey and working on the family farm. However, things could have been different. Formula 1 Career - Murray Walker 1967 Pau GP. Formula One Rejects.
