Scotsman Jim Clark, who died 50 years ago today (7 April) is one of the greatest grand prix drivers of all-time.

A long-time Lotus driver, Clark claimed the Formula 1 World Championship title in 1963 and '65, and claimed 25 wins and 32 podium finishes from just 73 grand prix starts.

Clark was also known for his versatility: he won the British Touring Car Championship in 1964 and the Indianapolis 500 in 1965, finished third overall in the 1960 Le Mans 24 Hours and also competed in the RAC Rally and even a NASCAR stock car race.
