That is an exercise in trying not to die ... it takes some kind of freak to be able to get to 10/10ths in a car like that and stay there. And Jim Clark is one of a very short list of the best of the best ever at it.

larreization Yep. Thats one of the most common misconceptions about the Nurburgring, probably because of the law nature of touristfarhten, where the track is considered public road, reason for that being purely allowing anyone with road going vehicle to enter without a helmet. Also, while it was never inteded to be used as a public road, when they built the track back in 20’s, their idea was to replicate the topography of the toughest roads, in order to replicate the most difficult of conditions in a “safe” invorement. So that might be the other source of misconception. But yes, it was never a public road.

Fun fact Jimmy: The part where you get airborne in the first sector is not the Flugplatz, but actually Quiddelbacher Höhe. The Flugplats is the short straight following the subsequent right hander. And the compression after Aremberg is called "Fuchsröhre" (Fox hole). Great video, love this 1960's stuff. Brings me back to the GPL days and the amount of laps I fucked up in that final chicane.

small tip for the old f-1 cars: they handle like 90's togue cars. the fastest way thru a corner is just the slightest bit sideways. basically you want to use the front end to direct the car and the rear to push it thru like drifting, but with less angle so you force more speed than what the tires are normally capable of. that's how I get speed out of these and other classic f-1, f-2, and f-3 cars (mostly the Lotus type 25 Climax and 49 Cosworth)

Racing God JIM CLARK - Unmatched Maestro. By far the Greatest Driver Ever - No doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio, Senna, Prost, Stewart and countless others about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... ! This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps... In 1965 he had the most succesful year of any driver in the history of the sport: He won the F1 World Championship, the Tasman Series with F1 cars, the Indy 500, the British and French F2 Championship, the British Touring car Championship, totally over 50 (!) victories in one season !!!! For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just some examples of his mesmeric unique genius...

You'd definitely get brake fade on old F1 cars, they ran disks so it wouldn't be as bad as drums but brake pad material wasn't very good and you'd almost certainly risk boiling the brake fluid at times (spongy pedal). Modern carbon ceramic disks and advanced pads make brake fade less of an issue but it's still something similar to tyres in that they will get progressively worse with more usage.

Tried the same on Project Cars 2, and I can assure, that machine activelly tries to kill you. Piece of advise, Jimmer, if you want to be really fast on that car, there's a technique for that. It's more of a philosophy thing. Like Gilles Villeneuve said, "if everything is under control, you're not going fast enough". So don't try to go straight. Just point the nose in the direction of the exit of the curve, press the throttle kinda gently, have a litle battle with the wheel, and PRAY. What makes every pilot of that time a really great, is that death was a real thing that you could actually see. Four to six drivers died every year trying to be that fast. I really hope to see you beating that time, and i'd love to see how many times you "die" trying. Cheers!

I’m pretty sure the brake fade mod you mentioned comes with the 1955 f1 mod for gpl. I could be wrong but I do know the 1955 mod has a brake fade indicator in the car with green being good, yellow meaning it’s fading, and red meaning you have no brakes left. No the cars back in those days did not have such a device as the drivers had to tell either by smell or taking a glance at the brakes but obv we can’t do that in game so it helps a lot. Good content as always jimmy!

Dont forget the US stuff. Indy 500 five times winning once and coming second twice. Then there is his little known 1959 1.5L class podium at Le Mans. You mentioned F2. In '65 he won both The F1 world championship plus the British AND French F2 titles. He was also British touring car champ in two classes that year, the same year he won the Indy 500. ANDThe Tasman series. Just those towering achievements in 65 mean that in my mind he was the best driver of all time. Fangio certainly said so. Then there are all his other race wins, podiums and pole positions, championship top 3's and let's not forget, he started out as a rally driver.......... Legend! Smooth, fast and humble to a fault. Cool AF on the style front too. Who else has ever made a buttoned up polo shirt and a cardigan could look so good?

I used to drive this same car/track combination in rFactor quite a lot few years ago. Managed to do a sub-8 minute lap once, but I had at least couple hundred laps total done at that point lol. The modern Nordschleife has felt so easy and neutered in every game after driving on this old version, the track is so much more bumpy, the kerbs are so much bigger, some corners are sharper and many more jumps. Also the fact that there's no armco makes it so much more extreme, even though your life is not on the line.

Jim Clarke, so good Fangio was a fan and Aryton Senna made a pilgrimage to his resting place. Taken too young. Some say Jim Clarke was actually built at the Lotus garage along with the bathtub he would drive.

How amazing was Clark? He started racing at 20 years old. He went pro in F1 four years later and was World Champion three years after that. His cars exhibited less wear and tear than his team mates' same cars.

I love how people say that F1 today isn't competitive enough. Then you see shit like a 10 second gap from P1 to P2 over a single lap. Not to mention, all of those famous several minute race winning leads are all from the old days

They feel like they're floating. I'm in my 60's I got to do a 8 laps at Laguna Seca here in Cali in 1976 in a 72 lotus F-1 which had some wing and areo and even more HP. Even with the limited downforce you had a lot of air time and the car would literally feel like it was floating. you steered with your hands and right foot but you drove with yer ass. She'd try and get side ways on you every time you throttled up. I've never driven that fast that close to edge since. The sims do get the right feel.. twitchy is an understatement.
