Seen this on tv yesterday.
Great show. Some talent.

When doing the Jim clark rally last year it stopped in Duns village . Got to look around the museum.

Was a really good watch Those boys had some balls back then, not even strapped into the cars...

seen this also, good show, he must have been an amazing natural driver his career speaks for itself, winning the indy 500 by a 5 minute margin or something?

they didn't really spend much time on his fatal accident though, would've liked to known a bit more about that as they hinted an accident/equipment failure (call it morbid curiosity)

Awesome talent, a great loss, he seemed to be the eptiome of the gentleman racer, I'd love to have seen some of those races in the flesh.

This is on iPlayer again.

Very good show, about possibly one of the best F1 drivers ever. There is a lot of Senna about both the man and the story

Bit of thread resurrection but seen this small piece on bbc f1 site about Jim Clarks memorial and how its near lost in the wilderness at old hockenheim track

Jim Clark at 80: In search of racing icon's Hockenheim memorial
