Terrific video and story. A true champion, indeed. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic profile of a true champion, demostrating that those that shout loudest are not always the greatest.
I was involved in this production, and I can say it was a class programme, very nice people. Good to find some television people who actually cared about their subject.
I live in South Africa. I used to hitch hike from Durban to Kyalami (a distance of some 650 km)from 1965 at the age of 15 until J.Y.S. won the sagp in 1969. I met Jackie and spent spent quiet a lot of time talking to him and Graham Hill. Jim was never about. In 1968 I was wandering down the pits and there he was – JIM CLARK. I stood there not knowing what to do. He seemed to know that I wanted to talk…..
Jim then said “Son, do you want to talk?” I was then “granted” 45 minutes of his time. What a down to earth chap he was, thought he seemed lonely. He told me that he’d recently broken up with his long-time girl friend. Funny during our chat he told Colin Chapman the was busy and he would come when he was finished. For that reason I’m so interested in Jimmy.
I was always a Jim Clark fan ever since I saw Him in his green Lotus as it screamed down the track @ Indy in 1964..What a Great Legend & also a Great era in auto Racing @ that time During the 60’s & 70’s..He Ranks among the Best to ever drive a race car..
