Jim Clark was a shy, unassuming sheep farmer from the borders of Scotland. He was also the dominant racing driver of his days, feared by his rivals and lauded by many as the most natural racing drivers of all times. He could drive all types of cars and won competitions in saloon cars, sports cars, touring cars and rally cars as well as Formula 1. He was the first Briton to take on the Americans and win the Indianapolis 500. In 72 Grand Prix Championship races he achieved 33 pole positions and 25 wins - more than any other driver in racing history at that time - and he won the World Championship in 1963 and 1965. I an era which was characterised by a short life-expectancy he was so quick it seemed at times that it was only mechanical failure which stood between him and victory. It was a burst tyre that finally killed him, at the age of 32.

After hins daeth his home town established a museum in his memory and it is the curator of the museum, which harbours a wealth of memorabilia, who has written this biography.
