| Jim Clark -- Tribute to a champion | Racing biography of one of the world's foremost drivers, and the mostly Lotus cars that carried him to fame. Jim Clark debuted the Lotus 23 at the Nürburgring 1000 Km. in 1962 and led most of the race against larger and bigger engined Ferraris and Maseratis. French race officials were so afraid of the 23 upsetting the latter at Le Mans that they banned the 23 for apparently trivial reasons. |
