Description
Jim Clark In France
So much has already been said or written about this extraordinary Scottish champion who many consider one of the greatest in the history of his sport: his natural elegance, his aerial driving with surgical precision, his incisive behavior on the track.
Discreet outside, his loyalty and simplicity in relationships with others, the symbiotic couple he formed with Colin Chapman – the brilliant creator of the Lotus – his tragic destiny… However, if the champion’s international sporting career is well known, the French part, including his life in Paris, is probably less so.
Benefiting from new testimonies from friends and family, exceptional and unpublished photos and documents (archives of Gérard Crombac, Michel Finquel and the Clark family in particular), the author was able to highlight the French and Monegasque dimension – 41 races in F1 , F2, FJ, Sport and GT from 1959 to 1967 – from the still unrivaled trajectory of Jim Clark.
