Tributes
The original Jim Clark Memorial Room opened in 1969 and has welcomed over 300,000 visitors to the historic market town of Duns in the Scottish Border to celebrate the life of Jim Clark. At the heart of the old museum and now at the centre of the modern Jim Clark Motorsport Museum is over 100 trophies gifted by Jim’s parents James and Helen Clark for public display following the tragic death of their son.
The guest book includes famous Formula 1, motorsport stars and visitors paying their respects and tributes from around the world: UK, Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and from far and wide.
In 2018 all 20 Formula 1 racing drivers including World Champions Lewis Hamilton, Sebastien Vettel and Kimi Raïkkonen signed the rear tailgate of a special edition Jim Clark Lotus Evora GT410 Sport at the Monaco Grand Prix to help raise funds for the Trust and Museum.
