An Old Friend

I was born a Formula 1 fan. NASCAR is good, INDY IRL is good, but Formula 1 Grand Prix is the purest form of racing. Jim Clark was the world's greatest driver of all time!!! End of debate. He was killed in a crash during the Grand Prix of Germany on April 7th 1953, my 15th birthday. Ever since then I watch the movie "Grand Prix" on my birthday and remember a great man. This book is a collection of the memories of others in the sport of this greatest of all drivers who sadly had to leave us early.

Jim Clark: Portrait of a Great Driver

Graham Gauld was a personal friend of Jim Clark, who was probably the second best race-car driver of all-time (only Mario Andretti was better in my opinion). Jim Clark won the 1965 Indianapolis 500 and the 1963 and 1965 Formula 1 World Championships while driving for Colin Chapman and the Lotus team. Jim is also the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 with a rear-engine race car. I have three of Graham Gauld's book including "Jim Clark: The Legend Lives On", "Jim Clark Remembered" and Jim Clark: Portrait of a Great Driver". All three books rate as 5-star books in my opinion. If you like the glory days of the Indianapolis 500 or the Formula 1 World Championship, you will love these 3 books. My oldest son is named after Jim Clark.
