Auto racing's famed Jimmy Clark died yesterday in a high speed crash at Hockenheim, Germay. Clark was killed instantly when his Lotus-Cosworth Formula II racer flipped off the rain-soaked course and crashed into a tree.
A bachelor from Duns, Scotland, the thirty-two year old Clark won the World's Driving Championship in 1963 and 1965, and the Indianapolis 500 in 1965. Although he was best known for his domination of Grand Prix racing, Clark was recognized as a master of all forms of auto sport. Juan Manuel Fangio, retired Argentine ace, whose record of twenty-four Grand Prix victories Clark broke in January at South Africa, called Clark the greatest driver in the world. Clark preferred to think of himself as a sheep farmer who raced automobiles.
