1965: Jim Clark & Team Lotus. The UK Races 

 

William Taylor 2009 ISBN 9781902351360 This publication concentrates on just one season of Jim Clark's career, 1965. This was a very special year in the career of Jim Clark. In this season Clark showed his versatility by driving everything from Formula One to saloon cars and Indy 500 to sports-prototypes. He won more often than not, the high point being his victory at the Brickyard. This book looks at the events surrounding each outing and of course the races themselves.

Close to 200 never before published images from the Peter Darley Archive.

With new contributions from Jack Sears, Sally Swart (Stokes), Bob Dance and David Hobbs.

Jim Clark, Tribute to a Champion

Eric Dymock 2017 ISBN-10: 095745855X
ISBN-13: 978-0957458550
Updated with additional information about the Jim Clark Trust (to which a royalty is donated on each copy sold) and museum and the images have been updated with plenty of colour included. The pictures are all quite small, but this is a book about text rather than photographs and is a fascinating read.

Celebrating the life and achievements of Jim Clark (1936-1968), Formula 1 World Champion 1963 and 1965, this book details his place in motor racing history and his total command at the wheel. Eric Dymock portrays him as an individual, nail-biting, insecure yet along with Juan Manuel Fangio the greatest driver ever. From a Scottish farming family Clark rewrote the annals of American racing at Indianapolis, second at his first attempt in 1963, winning in 1965. Seemingly equal to the odds of the most dangerous eight years at the top of motor racing, Clark died in an unlikely accident in a minor race at Hockenheim on April 7 1968. Genius at the wheel was not enough. Rivals' campaigns for safety saved countless lives on and off the track.

Eric Dymock first met Jim Clark when they were competing against each other on the Scottish Rally in 1955, at the time Clark had not yet sat in a racing car and Dymock hadn’t started his career as a journalist. They became firm friends and this is a comprehensive biography of one of the all-time greats by someone very well placed.

Jim Clark: The Best of the Best

David Tremayne 2018 ISBN-10: 1910505161
ISBN-13: 978-1910505168
Published on the 50th anniversary of Clark's death, this book, 20 years in the making, is a deeply detailed look at a complex and compelling character. Starting in a friend's cars in driving tests, sprints, hill climbs, autocrosses and rallies, Clark graduated to sports cars in his native Scotland while still pursuing his other passion, which was farming. Such was his subliminal driving talent that motorsport overcame farming, and he went on to win in sports cars, touring cars, Formula Junior, Formula 2 and Formula 1, and to triumph in the legendary Indianapolis 500 in America. Clark's Formula 1 debut came in 1960, with Team Lotus, where his unique fraternal relationship with boss Colin Chapman became one of the cornerstones of success for them both.

Hardcover, 520 pages, English, size 290 x 35 x 248 mm

Jim Clark En France

Dominique Vincent

 
2022 ISBN: 9782958311735 If the international sporting career of the champion is well known, the French part, including his life in Paris, is probably less so. With the help of new testimonies from friends and family, exceptional and unpublished photos and documents (notably from the archives of Gérard Crombac, Michel Finquel and the Clark family), the author has been able to shed light on the French and Monegasque dimension – 41 races in F1, F2, FJ, Sport and GT from 1959 to 1967 – of Jim Clark's unparalleled trajectory.

Hardback, English and French, 288 pages, 600 illustrations, size 240 x 280 x 28 mm
