RIP Jimmy

It’s hard to believe it’s been forty years since we lost one of the absolute titans of Formula 1, Jim Clark. He was a true gentleman through and through—unbelievably fast, yet he had this incredible, delicate touch with his car. Beyond the cockpit, he was just a genuinely loved figure by everyone who knew him.

While the exact details of what went wrong on that tragic day remain somewhat shrouded in mystery, there is a universal consensus among those who follow the sport: Jimmy didn't make a mistake. Something else went sideways that day, something out of his control.

RIP 🙏🙏🙏

I actually wrote this right when I sat down at my computer; it's just a shame it happened after midnight

nobody actually knows the gritty details of what went sideways on that tragic day, but everyone is in total agreement on one thing—Jimmy didn't make a mistake, something else just went horribly wrong.

RIP 🙏🙏🙏

I am 100% with you on this.🙏🙏
alongside Ayrton, he’s easily the GOAT, and honestly, trying to pick who was better is just a losing game.

JIM CLARK🙏🙏🙏🙏

just think back to Monza

Aside from Ayrton, trying to crown the absolute greatest is like picking a favorite child—it’s basically impossible to say who actually holds the edge.

JIM CLARK🙏🙏🙏🙏

Just think back to what happened at Monza.

Look, the guy was certainly a hell of a driver, but honestly, I have no idea which legend you're even talking about based on how you've phrased this.

Aside from Ayrton, who could even pick a better one? It's impossible to say.

Bold claims coming from someone born in '91.😂 🤣 😂 🤣

Son, my boy... 🙂

BTW, don't take this as me being rude. I just find it a bit hypocritical to offer condolences over the internet, so I'll refrain for personal reasons.🤷

I guess I don't really get why you're making such a big deal out of his age—it’s probably not that deep. 🙄

None of us here have actually seen Clark drive in person—does that mean we aren't allowed to talk about his driving based on what we've read? I guess not.

Mark Ruiz8 said:Why on earth are you making such a massive deal out of his age?🙄

Look, none of us here have actually sat in the stands and watched Clark Kent tear up the track in person, but does that really mean we can't have an opinion on his driving style based on everything we've read about him?

Are you absolutely certain nobody has?
