David Coulthard drives Jim Clark's Lotus 25

Our August 2013 cover shoot brought to life by the BBC.

I went to the 1965 Indy 500. Jim Clark started second, and started lapping the field in 10 laps.
That is greatness.

I work in Duns, where Jim Clark lived. They still talk about him to this day. There’s a museum dedicated to him and this weekend there was a celebration for the 60th anniversary of his first GP title in 1963. The Jim Clark rally takes place around the area each year

I first met Bob Dance in the late 1990's, one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Good to see him in this video as I have not seen in person since 2013.

Made me sad. The mechanics clearly miss Jim Clark

[mrbrmb]

That story about him cutting the engine around Woodcote corner is just awesome!  

[machtschnell]

Jim Clark was the smoothest and fastest driver ever. A magician of speed.

Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart - two Scots and an Englishman representing the absolute best of British. Three close friends, two lost tragically, one remained who made sure Grand Prix racing would be safer for future generations. I wish we had the characters of yesteryear, today. Legends.

Love the mechanics, they seem so humble and happy to share their piece of brilliance. Great to see people being so proud of their work, really touches the heart.

Not a single F1 driver compares and least of all the present day one's. They have accidents and walk away. In Jim Clark's era you died if you made a mistake. True courage. True greatness. True humility.

Fantastic tribute to a great team supporting the best driver the worlds ever seen

[petershim]

Don't know about you guys but I got terribly emotional to tears watching this. The legend... the sound!

[redoz]

So nice to see those old boys from the original team, seeing their baby go through it's paces again. The joy on their faces says it all.

[TheAmerican]

Jim Clark was my Father's hero....one of only 2 times I ever saw tears from his it was when he heard the news of Jim Clark's Flying Scotsman and RIP, my great video, was emotional for me to see this wonderful

[Scramblaar]

he won by 5 mins in the rain?! that literally left me speechless! wow what a legendary scottsman and what a legendary lotus in that b-e-a-u-tiful british racing green

[moreheff]

Jim Clark was my first boyhood hero, before I discovered music and girls!! I was so upset when he died even at that young age. Looking at his car gives me tingles, it is so beautiful and sounds immense

[exact]

What a lovely tribute, as ever Coulthard is pure class

[racerj]

And this is why David Coulthard is such an awesome guy. He pays so much respect to Jim and the whole team that was running the car back then. When Lewis Hamilton drove Senna's Mclaren a couple years back all he wanted to do was drive the car, he didn't take any time to talk in detail about anything regarding the team. He's a racing primadona, simply put. Also it seems David has a true admiration for the Jim, the car and what they accomplished back then. This is a quality video worth watching.

A true Hero, i only started watching F1 in 1994 and even back them i knew Clark was a big deal, he’s the ultimate f1 drivers driver.

[mnd]

Jim Clark was a hero to us lads back in the 1960s. I remember well the day he died. F1 has changed beyond all recognition and I no longer watch it but this video brought back so many memories of those days. Great to hear words from the pit crews too; the often unsung heroes who kept things going. Think I'll watch 'Grand Prix' tonight now.

[gedheaney]

"finished 5 minutes before everyone else in the rain"?! WOW, Clark was indeed the man!! Great job by Coulthard, very humble!
