Jim Clark BBC documentary
About an hour. Maybe some of our younger board members never heard of him?

You need to watch this on a streaming service. IDK if they are all done by Mark Stewart, but there are videos of Wolfgang Von Trips and a plethora of others.

If you are into F1 none of the below is news. For me, I just now saw Richard Hammond say Clark was the greatest ever and know most say Fangio or Schumacher are, so I did some digging.
Jim Clark was #1 in the 60's as I'm sure the original video clarified. Jackie Stewart was a close second but lead the 70's. Here's the top seven according to the article below:  https://f1metrics.wordpress.com/2019/11/22/the-f1metrics-top-100/

The great ones mentioned above got there by surviving as well as being excellent drivers, Clark being the exception. A lot of brilliant drivers didn't live long enough to join the club.

Damn...sorry the biography documentary no longer available.
Here's a Ford bit on one of his many driving victories...Clark won the '65 Indy 500... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeNiYt0y5Bc&ab_channel=TheHenryFord (edit) A six minutes tribute by Richard Hammond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zqeTYuXUig&ab_channel=TheGrandTour My opinion of course, but Jimmy Clark deserves to be in any conversation on who is the GOAT of racing drivers...
