If Juan Manuel Fangio says that you are the best racing driver in history than you must be one hell of a brilliant driver (which he arguably was).

..YOU & ME BOTH, MISTER! IN AN A.J. FOYT TEXAS SECOND! Always Miss You, JIMMY...

Reverence was indeed Ayrtons perspective of Clark, and in a somewhat unusual display of modesty, he spoke of Jim as "the best of the best." Senna actually commissioned a famous Mexican artist to create a painting for him... depicting the grid at Monaco, with all of Formula 1 historically greatest champions lining the grid.... the order didn't matter, however Senna had specifically stipulated that Jim Clark occupy pole. Also, if you ever visit the museum chronicling Clarks life in his humble hometown, you will see Ayrton's name on the check in list. Sadly, both the circumstances around their deaths would be eerily similar. Both of them were in their early 30s, both suddenly and mysteriously careening off the track at high speed for no apparent reason, both known for their immense natural talent being tragically cut short.... Even more odd, the teammate for Clark in the 1968 season was Graham Hill, who lifted the spirits of the team afterwards by proceeding to win the championship that year. 26 years later, Ayrtons teammate for the 1994 season? Grahams own son, Damon Hill, who would also proceed to win the championship, becoming the first ever father-son duo to accomplish the feat.

Jim Clark was the GOAT of F1, no questions asked. Throughout his career he was always in the championship hunt (if his car would be reliable) but he was a normal man out of F1 in Duns, his home town. I have seen his museum and the trophies he has won is remarkable. This man proved that being quiet in Formula 1 can lead you to greatness. #RIPJimClark

@@twillis449 Simple answer is EVERYTHING.

Jim Clark was the greatest driver I've ever seen race.. For Fangio to name him as the greatest of all time is the highest compliment of all. Clark was simply in a class of his own.. and he had no need for any of the intimidatory tactics used by later pretenders to his throne. Why? Because you don't need to if you're out in front.. Certainly he was not a 'blocker' in the manner of Schumacher.. or Senna. He was unfailingly modest and courteous on and off the track. There'll never be another.

Probably the greatest driver ever. He made legends, look like also-rans. It would be as if a driver made the Aryton Senna and Alain Prost of his generation, look po-si-tive-ly normal. And he won with anything and everything, from Ford Cortinas to Indycars. Mechanics said that he was horrible at developing cars because of his ability to drive around problems. He would take a dog of a car and turn it into a race winner. When the mechanics would ask him what's wrong with the car, he would basically say, "Nothing much." Legend.

As a big Schumacher fan, Fangio and Clark were,are and will be the greatest drivers F1 ever had... These are true legends... Not to hate on Senna and Schumacher but if you consider the condition Clark and Fangio raced and won championships they were true racers and fighters at the same time.. The reason why every1 say Senna or Schumacher as the greatest F1 driver is because F1 is promoting only these 2 drivers... So every new fan the only old drivers they know are Senna and Schumacher..

Alexander Krüger he actually was really good. His race pace was amazing.

Seeing Jim driving his first F1 race at Zandvoort brings back sweet memories. I immediately recognized his superb driving skills and as a teenager instantly became a great fan of Jim. Saw him driving every year since 1960 at Spa, Nurburgring and Zandvoort. Following F1 ever since he died I think he still s the best driver ever.

They should make a movie about Jim Clarks career

This is really nicely put together, not the least bit mawkish or over the top. It's great for F1 fans old & new to be treated to the occasional reflection on the history of the sport. Drivers like Jim Clark were so focused. Pure, dogged racers, they epitomised toughness and courage. And, despite the staggeringly high risk of dying, or ending a race to find out a friend had died, they never wavered in their desire to keep going faster, faster, faster.

Great video. Jim Clark really was one of the best drivers of all time. R.I.P

My favorite driver of all time...never forgotten.

This is probably one of the best f1 vids I've seen

Jim Clark was the best. There is no doubt about that. R.I.P

Michael Schumacher had 5 grand slams, Ayrton Senna had 4 grandslams. Jim Clark well he had 8 grandslams.Jim had theHighest win ratio and had the second best pole position ratio after Fangio. If that lotus of his had been reliable enough he would have won 3 more championships and if he hadn't died god knows how many championships he would have won. He could win in any type of car. He was and is truly the greatest driver of all time.

The most gifted driver to have ever graced F1

Brilliant video... Touching

JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio and Senna about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark. This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius...

An otherwise more unknown "statistic" to me, that is just another clear illustration towards Jim being the Greatest, is the fact that he finished in 2nd place, only a single time in his entire career.... Owing to the fact that he won, and won often.... and when he didn't, it was usually far off from being able to do so due to reliability/and or other conditions out of his control. But he simply was so purely skilled and talented, but in total uniqueness to his ability atypical of racing drivers, he always drove clean and fluidly, consistently and calmly.... while remaining fast as all hell. Simply the best.

The biggest ''what if'' in F1. The fact the he still holds the record for the most grand slams should tell you something.

The best ever.

Jim Clark... Champion... Gentleman. RIP.

Best of all time. So naturally talented

My hero . When i was a boy he was the main man. My mother bought me shoes with a grand prix tread on the soul and had grand prix charts and pictures on my bedroom walls. I remember hearing of his death then shutting off from f1 because evrytime i saw his car I felt he should still be here and winning races. I was sitting at his grave today with the sun shining and the birds singing, just chatting!

A true champion lost too soon. He not only raced F1 cars but also saloon cars and I can still see him in my mind cornering on two wheels in the Lotus Cortina. I was blessed to see him race. That third place at Monza in 1967 was after he had unlapped himself and ran out of fuel to coast over the line. If he hadn't run out of fuel he would have won the race which had one of the closest finishes in F1 history between Jack Brabham and John Surtees - 0.02 seconds if I recall correctly.

Quite a fantastic video! Excellent images, information, and music too. Very enjoyable

There's an urban legend Senna at one point asked an Mexican Painter to paint a fantasy race with Fangio, Jackie Stewart, himself, Emerson Fittipaldi (this was before Schumacher's successes, obviously since Senna died long before Michael's reign; also Prost was out of this painting because Senna was being all contentious against Prost). He said the racers could be painted in any position/place, BUT pole position HAD to be Jim Clark, as Senna remarked "because he was the best of the best". Not confirmed but whoa is that a statement from the almighty Ayrton Senna.

This music evokes the feeling of being a real samurai on the track.

He was REAL Racing Driver . To your memory Jim R.I.P

Chapman's mistake was trying to make the fastest car he could, and in the process the car being fragile. If he had been concerned with designing a fast, but especially resistant car, and trusted Clark's ability to drive faster than all other drivers, I believe, Clark may have won more championships. Maybe not as many races, but more titles.

Giving me chills

Greatest driver of all time, no one can change my mind

What a legend. Why do all of the greatest always get a tragic end? But imagine the incredible race we have up there.

I remember visiting the 1986 Grand Prix at the old Hockenheim circuit,and was taking the long walk to the Ostkurve bend, where I planned to view the race,and as I walked along the forest track heading for my viewing spot,I came across the very simple memorial to Jimmy in the forest. Surprisingly,there was nobody else around,and for a few moments I stood at the simple little stone cross with a few bunches of flowers around it, and remembered not only the legend,but his parents who had lost their their youngest child and only son in pursuit of his dreams. Rest in Peace Champ.

One of the greatest drivers in history and a gentleman.
