BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND – THE JIM CLARK SPECIAL ISSUE

The latest Motor Sport Special Issue, dedicated to Jim Clark, is now available!

The finest driver ever? It’s a question that has been asked countless times – and one that may never have a definitive answer. Yet among the handful of names that belong in that conversation, one is always there: Jim Clark, the quiet, modest Scotsman from the Scottish Borders.

Lauded by his contemporaries and admired by generations of drivers who followed, Clark’s extraordinary reputation rests not only on two Formula 1 World Championships and 25 Grand Prix victories, but on the seemingly effortless way in which he dominated almost everything he drove.

First published in 2021, this hugely popular Motor Sport Special Issue is back by popular demand – and remains a firm fan favourite.

Inside, you’ll find fresh assessments of Clark’s remarkable talent alongside contemporary motorsport opinions and reflections from the years that followed. All are brought to life with a stunning collection of photographs capturing Clark at work – in the cockpit and beyond.

The team at Motor Sport are also grateful to the Jim Clark Trust for its help in creating this special tribute to a career that, but for one tragic race, had so much more yet to give.

Foreword by Dario Franchitti MBE
