Jim Clark

Scottish · Driver · 1936–1968

One of motor racing’s most naturally gifted drivers, forever linked with Lotus and a quiet, precise style that still defines racing purity.

Jim Clark became a benchmark for speed, mechanical sympathy and calm judgement. For RetroTorque he belongs here not just as a racing champion, but as the sort of figure who made lightweight engineering and driver feel seem heroic.
