“He also was the man that began the ritual of spraying the champagne, rather than drinking it.” Ah, Gurney. When you weren’t innovating ways to win, you were innovating ways to _celebrate_ that win. What a legend.

Being a Scot myself I am biased, but Clark is the greatest driver of all time. My favourite stat (from f1metrics) about Clark is that in a streak between 1963 and 1965 he entered 29 races, 13 times he had mechanical problems that slowed him or caused a DNF. The other 16 races? He won. All of them. In that period he also outscored the rest of the Lotus work team 159 points to 29. I also personally think that, of all the legends of that era, he and Jackie Stewart would have adjusted best to the modern cars with their driving styles and dedication to the sport. What a legend.

there's a story I had heard about Jim Clark once, no idea if it's true as I'm not even sure about where I got it from: his engineers (or whatever) were right next to a corner, watching him go around the track. When he reached their corner, to their great surprise, his car made practically no sound! Afterwards, they asked him what that was about. He answered that, to save the engine (I think?), he'd turn off the engine on entry and restart it while exiting. No idea if that story is true or not, but it's great to tell. but otherwise, let me put something else into perspective: if you didn't think his winning percentage was insane enough, remember that he drove for Lotus, a team who's cars were notoriously unreliable. As such, Jim Clark (and Lotus as a whole) had the reputation of either winning or not finishing the race. If you exclude all of Jim Clark's 23 retirements (not sure how many were due to mechanical failure, but I believe most were), then you're left with 50 entries in F1 (if you include his one DNS), of which he won 25 races. That's a perfect 50% winning percentage! Here's his racing record in more detail: 73 entries, 1 DNS, 23 retirements, 17 non-podium finishes (8 points finishes and 9 finishes out of the points) and 32 podiums (25 wins, 1 second place and 6 third places) if you don't think that's incredible enough, he's the only driver in history with more grand slams than Lewis Hamilton (8 vs 6) (a grand slam is when a driver takes pole, wins the race, gets a fastest lap and leads every lap of the race). He holds the record (tied with Alberto Ascari) for the highest percentage of possible championship points earned in a season with 100% (here's the thing: back in the day, your total championship tally only counted your 6 best results, so as long as you had 6 wins, you had all the points you could score in a season. Clark and Ascari, as far as I know, are the only ones to have achieved this). Clark also holds the record for the highest percentage of laps led during a season, with 71.47% in the 1963 season! btw, that 1963 season was insane. Out of 10 races, he got 7 wins, one second place finish, one third place finish and one 8th place finish. yeah, he finished on the podium in 9 out of 10 races! I mean it's not a record, but it's still insane! so yeah, Jim Clark was pretty ungodly good

You might enjoy this one: In one documentary I watched about Jim Clark, a story was told by one of his former mechanics about just how in tune Clark was with his cars. The story goes that Clark had been driving the car, not under race conditions but perhaps in testing (I forget the specifics). Clark comes into the pits and tells his mechanic that there's something not quite right with the rear left wheel. The mechanic takes a look, a good close look (because they knew to believe Clark when he told them that something was up with the car), but he couldn't find anything. Clark goes out again, and at the end of the day he reiterates that there was something not right with that rear left wheel. The mechanic diligently spent that night taking the left rear assembly apart and eventually found that a single ball bearing was playing up - perhaps cracked, outright destroyed, again I don't recall the specifics. The mechanic, in retelling that story, you can see the wonder in his eyes decades after the event as he recalls the superhuman abilities of Jim Clark to know his vehicle.

Some facts: - Jochen Rindt would go on to be the only F1 driver to won the Driver’s Championship posthumously, with the help of Emerson Fittipaldi (even tho that happened on 1970) - Jack Brabham would be the only driver that won the Driver’s Championship with his own founded team - Chris Amon would be the best driver that never won an F1 Grand Prix. The driver that got close to his reputation was Jean Alesi (but won the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix, Alesi’s only win)

Stewart in particular is worth mentioning, he retired at the age of 31 while still having the capability of grabbing multiple more championships, as he was in one of the fastest and calmest teams in terms of tension.

Seeing Chris Amon mentioned in the honourable mentions, he deserves a video of his own. A driver who was frequently compared to the likes of Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart in terms of driving abilities, but seemed perennially unable to take the chequered flag first in Formula One. People said Mark Webber had bad luck in F1, they're nothing compared to Chris Amon. Monza 1971 is a case in point, leading very comfortably as the race drew to a close, he tried to remove a tear-off strip from his visor but instead he ripped off the complete visor, exposing his eyes to the 200mph wind blast. All he could do was reduce his pace, eventually trailing home just in the points in sixth place. But that race is remembered for Peter Gethin coming from nowhere on the last lap to beat Peterson, Cevert, Hailwood and Ganley over the line. Just 0.6 seconds covered the top 5

No disagreements with any of your choices Josh. If you haven't seen them, there are some hilarious clips of Stewart and Hill on You Tube engaging in some dry British banter. Hill was so charismatic and looked and drove like a British lion. Stewart won the first Grand Prix that I really remember watching on TV, the Dutch Grand Prix in 1973. I loved some of the images you selected, especially the petrol filled bath tubs in flight. My favourite though is Dan Gurney in his full-face helmet while sporting what looks like the comfiest cardigan sweater of all time. Who needs flame-retardant overalls when you have a good cardy?

Jochen Rindt was born on 18 April 1942 in Mainz, Germany, to an Austrian mother and German father. His mother had been a successful tennis player in her youth and, like her father, studied law. Rindt's parents owned a spice mill in Mainz, which he later inherited. They were killed in a bombing raid in Hamburg during the Second World War when he was one year old, after which he was raised by his grandparents in Graz, Austria. Although his grandfather chose to retain Rindt's German citizenship, for his entire career he drove under an Austrian racing licence. In an interview, he described his heritage as a "terrible mixture" and, when asked if he felt more Austrian or German, said that he felt "like a European" I think you have to respect his Austrian heritage. He truly lived in Austria thanks to his grandparents since his parents were killed in the war. He answered the question about as diplomatically as can be given the Germanic sense of shame over what happened with the Second World War. Like most of the drivers that came to an untimely end, it was such a crying shame he died the way he did and even more so that he couldn't celebrate his driver's title. Remember seeing his girlfriend's sullen face behind the sunglasses and thinking it was extremely heartbreaking.

You had them in more or less the right order. Dan Gurney was in many ways like Stirling Moss. Good in everything and never able to achieve what he should have often by being in inferior equipment. But the gold standard for this era was Clark. When he went to Indy, and showed them how magical he was odd the hop, he showed America just how good he was. And I know that if Chapman just made things a smidge more durable, Clark might have won a few more WDC's. Class, speed, magic. The GOAT

Jim Clark is without a doubt the best of the 1960's, but I really don't like comparing statistics across generations of drivers because of how fundamentally different the sport was. Fangio's records are a product of his time in which there were no rules against running and passing along multiple cars. Clark and Ascari's astounding point percentage comes from a time in which only your best 6 results counted.

I believe he would still be dominant today. He was dominant in everything he drove. Fangio is the only one you could argue was as good. I hear so many screaming Michael! Lewis! Ummm Michael couldn’t set up a car to save his life (just ask Irvine) and Lewis wouldn’t know what to do without complaining about tires or strategy or anything else going wrong because they didn’t have radios in the 60’s. I think both are great drivers but could they do what drivers had to in the 60’s and be successful? Maybe but can Jim Clark do what these guys could today? Absolutely I believe he could. The story (off memory here) of him telling his mechanic that something was wrong with the handling of the car and they couldn’t find what he was on about. So that night they tore the car down completely and found that one bolt was not tightened all the way.... it was something ridiculous. Simply he was the greatest of all time surrounded by some of the greatest of all time.

You forgot to mention that (Sir) Jim’s 1965 feat of pairing the F1 Championship w/ victory lane at the Indy 500 has yet to be repeated. Since then, I can only think of two drivers with a realistic chance to make that happen- Senna, Schumacher, and Hamilton

Good list but I personally would’ve put Jochen Rindt in the top 5 - he was the fastest guy in F1 at the end of the 60’s. A great favourite of mine - which probably makes me slightly biased - but I can live with that. Rx

Graham Hill has to be remember as the greatest driver to ever race. Maybe not F1 driver but the achievement to be the only man ever to win the triple crown is incredible. I mean 5 wins in Monaco second only to Senna no wonder he was called Mr Monaco. He really was the type of driver that could get into a tractor and still be competitive (maybe he should sign for McLaren). Its a pity that Damon wasn't able to wins another championship or two as he really deserved it and you could tell how much of his father he had.
