One of the greatest Grand Prix drivers of them all, Clark, a farmer by profession, was killed in a F2 race in Germany at the height of his powers. Two time World Champion, Indianapolis 500 winner, Tasman Cup champion and British Touring Car Champion, Clark was adept at anything he tried, although he never really enjoyed Le Mans or a lot of the big sportscar races. A quiet, unassuming man, Clark was generally the one to beat during his 8 years in the sport.
