peterwindsor.com Moto Poster :. Formula 1 Posters .: It's probably impossible to say anything new about my personal 'best ever' choice. It is hard to believe that it is now some 44 years since he met a tragic and untimely end at Hockenheim on a damp and miserable April Sunday. It's perhaps even more surprising that Jim Clark is still held in such awe by so many people that books, magazine articles and web sites are still appearing to this day. This interest so long after his career ended probably has a lot to do with the kind of man he was as much as his considerable record as a driver. Early Days Jim Clark was born into a wealthy and successful family of Scottish farmers in 1936. Clark stated in his autobiography, written in 1964, that his father turned up at the school one day and announced that, as he was not doing terribly well academically, he might be better off working one of the farms.

Axis Of Oversteer OldRacingCars.com - racing car history 1972 March 721X Cosworth - Images, Specifications and Information Page 1 of 1 March burst onto the Formula 1 scene in 1970, with the simple but effective March 701. The British manufacturer was formed in 1969 by four friends; Robin Herd, Max Mosley, Graham Coaker and Alan Rees. The governing body's decision to allow for sponsor-markings and the introduction of the 'cheap' Ford Cosworth DFV created a renewed market for privateers. March's goal was to build a chassis for those privateers. Designed to be simple and easy to run, the March 701 was neither overly quick or innovative. Although 11 Formula 1 cars were sold in 1970, March was in big financial difficulties. For 1972, a completely new design that was intended to be a technical break-through, would hopefully bring March to the top of the field. After running heavily modified 711s in the first races of the season, the 721X made its debut at the Spanish GP in Jarama. After three Grands Prix, 'the experiment' was over and the 721X replaced by a more conventional 721G.
