A a new edition of Jim Clark ‘Tribute to a Champion’ by Eric Dymock will be published in the New Year.
Lightly edited, completely redesigned in colour throughout, this eagerly sought classic of motor racing celebrates the life and achievements of Fife’s Jim Clark (1936-1968), World Champion in 1963 and 1965. Motoring writer Dymock details Clark’s place in motor racing history and total command of Formula 1, portraying him as an individual, nail-biting and insecure yet the greatest driver in any sort of motor sport.
From a Fife farming family Clark rewrote the annals of American racing at Indianapolis, second at his first attempt in 1963, winning in 1965. He seemed a match for any odds during eight dangerous years at the top of motor racing, yet died in an unlikely accident at Hockenheim on April 7 1968.
