Jim Clark has always been a huge inspiration to me, from hearing the stories from my Nana (daughter of a sheep farmer) about his skill on track, to watching The Jim Clark Room evolve into the current Jim Clark Motorsport Museum, visiting the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and seeing the respect and love for him that still exists today and seeing the tribute to him at Imola the site of his victory at the circuit’s first ever F1 race. Duns and the Chirnside area have become very close to my heart and I love visiting that part of the country and hearing the stories of Jim and what he achieved. I had The Jim Clark Trust logo on my car in my first ever season of racing and I am very proud to be part of The Jim Clark Trust Team looking after the social media content and growing support for the Trust. I hope to help promote keeping Jim’s legacy alive to inspire future generations. “
