Tomorrow, April 7, marks the 43rd anniversary of the tragic passing of one of the greatest drivers ever-Jim Clark. He was the standard against which all the drivers of that era measured themselves. He and Chapman made the perfect team, and brought Lotus to the heights in Formula 1.
Having been privileged to meet Clark (at the Tasman series), I thought the most amazing thing about him was how modest he was, something almost totally missing from today's athletes! He also planned to return to sheep ranching upon retirement from racing (not exactly what you expect from one of today's drivers).
So take a moment to remember Jim Clark.
