These sections include both photos and narrative and cover areas such as: his early life before F1, a year-by-year account from 1960\u20131968, as well as Clark\u2019s experiences in the Tasman Series and the Indianapolis 500. Other interesting features of this site include remembrances from other drivers, mechanics and fans, as well as sections on the various Clark memorials that can be visited in Scotland and at Hockenheim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.eis.net.au\/~bramwell\/welcome.htm\">www2.eis.net.au\/~bramwell\/welcome.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3-1024x887.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3-100x87.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3-770x667.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/09\/HD200309-p3-293x254.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few would argue wi\u00adth the fact that Scottish racing great Jim Clark ranks as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of the post-war era.
