'''James Clark''' (4 March 1936 – 7 April 1968) was a British [[racing driver]] from Scotland who competed in [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1960}} to {{F1|1968}}. Clark won two [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles]], which he won in {{F1|1963}} and {{F1|1965}} with [[Team Lotus|Lotus]], and—at the time of [[1968 Deutschland Trophäe|his death]]—held the [[List of Formula One driver records|records]] for most [[List of Formula One Grand Prix winners|wins]] (25), [[List of Formula One polesitters|pole positions]] (33), and [[List of Formula One drivers who set a fastest lap|fastest laps]] (28), among [[#Formula One records|others]]. In [[American open-wheel racing]], Clark won the [[Indianapolis 500]] in [[1965 Indianapolis 500|1965]] with Lotus, becoming the first non-American winner of the race in [[1916 Indianapolis 500|49 years]].

Born in [[Fife]] and raised in the [[Scottish Borders]], Clark started his racing career in [[rallying|road rallying]] and [[hillclimbing]]. By 1958, Clark had graduated to [[sports car racing]] in national competition with [[Border Reivers (racing team)|Border Reivers]], racing the [[Jaguar D-Type]] and [[Porsche 356]], where he attracted the attention of [[Team Lotus|Lotus]] founder [[Colin Chapman]]. Driving a [[Lotus Elite]], Clark finished second-in-class at the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] in [[1959 24 Hours of Le Mans|1959]]. Clark made his [[formula racing]] debut the following year in [[Formula Junior]], winning the championship ahead of reigning seven-time [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing]] World Champion [[John Surtees]]. After immediately impressing in [[Formula Two]], Clark was promoted to Formula One with Lotus for the remainder of the {{F1|1960}} season alongside Surtees and [[Innes Ireland]], making his debut at the {{F1GP|1960|Dutch}} and scoring his maiden podium four races later in [[1960 Portuguese Grand Prix|Portugal]]; Clark finished third overall at Le Mans [[1960 24 Hours of Le Mans|that year]]. 

Following multiple further podiums in {{F1|1961}}, Lotus fielded the highly-successful [[Lotus 25|25]] chassis from {{F1|1962}} onwards. Clark took his maiden win at the [[1962 Belgian Grand Prix]], achieving further wins at [[1962 British Grand Prix|his home Grand Prix in Great Britain]] and in the [[1962 United States Grand Prix|United States]], as he finished runner-up to career rival [[Graham Hill]]. After winning a then-record seven Grands Prix during his {{F1|1963}} campaign, Clark won his maiden title, earning widespread acclaim for [[#Performances|his performances]]. Despite winning the most races the [[1964 Formula One season|following season]], reliability issues with the [[Lotus 33]] saw him fall to third in the standings. However, the same chassis would see Clark win again in {{F1|1965}}, as he took six victories in that season. Lotus then struggled to adapt to the [[History of Formula One#Anglophone drivers and 1.5-litre engines (1962–1967)|3-litre engine era]], with Clark only able to win the {{F1GP|1966|United States}} during [[1966 Formula One season|his second title defence]]. {{F1|1967}} was more successful for Lotus [[Cosworth DFV|under Cosworth power]], with Clark taking four wins throughout the season. 

While leading the [[1968 Formula One season|1968 World Drivers' Championship]], [[1968 Deutschland Trophäe|Clark died]] as a result of an accident during a Formula Two race at the [[Hockenheimring]]. Clark held the [[Formula One driver records|Formula One records]] for the most [[List of Formula One Grand Prix winners|race wins]] until [[1973 German Grand Prix|1973]], [[List of Formula One polesitters|pole positions]] until [[1989 United States Grand Prix|1989]], and [[List of Formula One drivers who set a fastest lap|fastest laps]] also until [[1989 Monaco Grand Prix|1989]]. He still holds several records in 2024, including the [[List of Formula One driver records#Pole, win, fastest lap, and led every lap|most grand slams]] (8). A versatile driver, Clark found success outside of formula racing in [[Sports car racing|sports cars]], [[Touring car racing|touring cars]], and [[American open-wheel racing]]. Clark was a champion in the [[British Saloon Car Championship]], winning every race he entered in [[1964 British Saloon Car Championship|1964]], as well as in [[Trophées de France|French]] and [[British Formula Two]]. He was a three-time champion of the [[Tasman Series]], winning in [[1965 Tasman Series|1965]], [[1967 Tasman Series|1967]] and [[1968 Tasman Series|1968]], with a record 15 wins in 32 starts. In [[rallying]], he entered the [[Rally of Great Britain]] in 1966. His successes in 1965—winning championships in Formula One, the Tasman Series, French Formula Two, and British Formula Two—make him the only driver in history to have won multiple championships in a single season alongside a World Drivers' Championship. Clark was inducted into the [[International Motorsports Hall of Fame]] in 1990.

==Early years==
James Clark was born into a farming family at Kilmany House Farm, [[Fife]], the youngest child of five, and the only boy. In 1942, the family moved to Edington Mains Farm, near [[Duns, Scottish Borders|Duns]], [[Berwickshire]], in the [[Scottish Borders|Borders]]. He was educated at primary schools in Kilmany and then in [[Chirnside]]. Following three years of preparatory schooling at [[Clifton Hall School]] in [[Edinburgh]] he was sent to [[Loretto School]] in [[Musselburgh]], East Lothian.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.scotsman.com/sport/motorsport/when-ayrton-senna-visted-musselburgh-to-pay-tribute-to-jim-clark-1-4719571|title=When Ayrton Senna {{sic|vis|ted|nolink=y}} Musselburgh to pay tribute to Jim Clark|newspaper=The Scotsman|date=6 April 2018|access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref>

Although his parents were opposed to the idea, Clark started his racing in local [[wiktionary:Road rally|road rally]] and [[hill climb]] events driving his own [[Sunbeam-Talbot]], and proved a fearsome competitor right from the start. On 16 June 1956, in his first event, he was behind the wheel of a [[DKW 3=6|DKW ''sonderklasse'']] at [[Crimond]], Scotland. By 1958, Clark was driving for the local [[Border Reivers (racing team)|Border Reivers]] team for Ian Scott-Watson, racing [[Jaguar D-Type|Jaguar D-Types]] and [[Porsche in motorsport|Porsches]] in national events, and winning 18 races. On [[Boxing Day]] 1958, Clark raced against the man who would launch him to superstardom. Driving a [[Lotus Elite]], he finished second to [[Colin Chapman]] in a ten-lap [[grand touring]] race at [[Brands Hatch]].<ref>''Motor Sport'', February 1959, Page 111.</ref>

Driving a Lotus Elite, Clark finished tenth at the [[1959 24 Hours of Le Mans]]; he partnered with [[John Whitmore (racing driver)|John Whitmore]] and the ex-[[Bruce Halford]] Lister Jaguar, winning the [[Bo'ness Hill Climb]].<ref>''Motor Sport'', April 1960, Page 257.</ref> Chapman was sufficiently impressed to give Clark a ride in one of his [[Formula Junior]] (FJ) cars. In March 1960, the first race for the newly introduced FJ took place at [[Goodwood Circuit|Goodwood]]. Clark finished first ahead John Surtees and [[Trevor Taylor (racing driver)|Trevor Taylor]].<ref>Goodwood Motor Circuit programme, 7 June 1965. See also: ''Motor Sport'', April 1960, Page 231.</ref> Clark had made an earlier FJ appearance in a one-off race at Brands Hatch on Boxing Day, 1959, driving a Gemini-B.M.C. for Graham Warner of the Chequered Flag garage, [[Chiswick]].<ref>Jim Clark, ''Jim Clark at the wheel'', Pan Books Ltd., 1965, Pages 47–48, 175.</ref>

==Clark and Lotus==
[[File:ClarkJim-Lotus19620805.jpg|thumb|left|Clark at the [[1962 German Grand Prix]]]]
Clark made his [[Formula One]] (F1) Grand Prix debut, part-way through the {{F1|1960}} season, during the [[1960 Dutch Grand Prix]] at Zandvoort on 6 June. Lotus had lost Surtees, who took part to the [[Isle of Man TT]] series; alongside [[Innes Ireland]] and [[Alan Stacey]], Clark was one of the substitutes deemed acceptable.<ref>[[Denis Jenkinson|D.S.J.]], ''Motor Sport'', July 1960, Page 568.</ref> He retired on lap 49 with final drive failure. His second Formula One race was the [[1960 Belgian Grand Prix]], held at the [[Spa-Francorchamps]] circuit, where he finished fifth and scored his first [[List of Formula One World Championship points scoring systems|points]] finish.<ref name="Cooper 2021">{{Cite web |last=Cooper |first=Jamie |date=2021-04-07 |title=Jim Clark |url=https://www.everythingf1.com/jim-clark/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=EverythingF1<!-- - Formula 1 News and Updates-->}}</ref>

In the [[1961 Italian Grand Prix]] on 10 September at [[Monza Circuit|Monza]], [[Wolfgang von Trips]] in his [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] collided with Clark's Lotus.<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=October 1961<!--2014-07-07--> |title=1961 Italian Grand Prix race report: von Trips suffers fatal accident whilst Hill wins title |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1961/44/xxxii-italian-grand-prix/ |access-date=2024-02-14 |magazine=Motor Sport |issue=44 |archive-date=14 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214144802/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1961/44/xxxii-italian-grand-prix/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Collantine |first=Keith |date=2011-09-09 |title=50 years ago today: F1's worst tragedy at Monza |url=https://www.racefans.net/2011/09/10/1961-italian-grand-prix/ |access-date=2024-02-14 |website=RaceFans |archive-date=3 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170703113217/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2011/09/10/1961-italian-grand-prix/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Von Trips's car became airborne and crashed into a side barrier, fatally throwing von Trips out of the car and killing fifteen spectators.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1961-09-11 |title=Von Trips, 11 Monza Fans Killed; Hill Wins |work=Los Angeles Times |pages=C1 |issn=0458-3035}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2005 |title=Albino Albertini |url=http://www.motorsportmemorial.org/focus.php?db=ct&n=612 |access-date=2024-02-14 |website=Motorsport Memorial |archive-date=17 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017021234/http://www.motorsportmemorial.org/focus.php?db=ct&n=612 |url-status=live }}</ref> Clark and his car were subjected to an investigation;<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schneider |first=Jürgen |date=2021-09-10 |title=On the death of Count Trips: Clark mechanic recounts<!--Zum Tod von Graf Trips: Clark-Mechaniker erzählt / Formel 1 - SPEEDWEEK.COM--> |url=https://www.speedweek.com/formel1/news/181330/Zum-Tod-von-Graf-Trips-Clark-Mechaniker-erzaehlt.html?lang=en |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Speedweek.com |archive-date=16 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216181416/https://www.speedweek.com/amp/formel1/news/181330/Zum-Tod-von-Graf-Trips-Clark-Mechaniker-erzaehlt.html?lang=en |url-status=live }}</ref> he was initially accused of manslaughter, before the charges were dropped.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-09-10 |title=L'ultima corsa di Wolfgang von Trips |url=https://www.ilpost.it/2011/09/10/incidente-von-trips-monza-1961/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Il Post |language=it}}</ref> 

At the time, Clark described the accident by saying: "Von Trips and I were racing along the straightaway and were nearing one of the banked curves, the one on the southern end. We were about 100 metres from the beginning of the curve. Von Trips was running close to the inside of the track. I was closely following him, keeping near the outside. At one point von Trips shifted sideways so that my front wheels collided with his back wheels. It was the fatal moment. Von Trips's car spun twice and went into the guardrail along the inside of the track. Then it bounced back, struck my own car and bounced down into the crowd."<ref>{{Cite news |date=1961-09-11 |title=Von Trips, 11 Monza Fans Killed; Hill Wins |work=Los Angeles Times |pages=C1 |issn=0458-3035}}</ref> In his later testimony, he recalled the collision had become unavoidable, saying: "Trips was head of me, driving on the center of the track. Suddenly he slowed down. Since my Lotus was faster than the Ferrari, I tried to overtake him. In the same instant the Ferrari surprisingly pulled to the left, and a collision became unavoidable..."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022 |title=<!--CPdB, View record [ID:216]-->1961 Italian Grand Prix – The Crash Photos Database |url=https://www.the-fastlane.co.uk/cpdb/crashphotos_view.php?page=view&editid1=216 |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=The Fastlane |archive-date=16 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216181414/https://www.the-fastlane.co.uk/cpdb/crashphotos_view.php?page=view&editid1=216 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Clark's first Drivers' World Championship came driving the [[Lotus 25]] in {{F1|1963}},<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-05-14 |title=Jim Clark Honored at 2013 Goodwood Revival |url=https://sportscardigest.com/jim-clark-honored-at-2013-goodwood-revival/ |access-date=2021-12-05 |website=Sports Car Digest<!-- - The Sports, Racing and Vintage Car Journal--> |archive-date=6 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206070839/https://sportscardigest.com/jim-clark-honored-at-2013-goodwood-revival/ |url-status=live }}</ref> winning seven out of the ten races and Lotus its first Constructors' World Championship.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-12-22 |title=Champion Clark sets new wins record |url=http://en.espnf1.com/onthisday/motorsport/story/2592.html |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=ESPN UK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-11-07 |title=The 71-year-old record Verstappen broke in the Sao Paulo GP |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.explained-the-71-year-old-record-verstappen-broke-in-the-sao-paulo-grand.3LMx4WXMjAiWzIuhnN97Pd.html |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Formula 1}}</ref> The [[1963 Indianapolis 500]] saw Clark's debut in the series; he finished in second position behind Parnelli Jones and won [[Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year]] honours.<ref>{{cite news |date=2 June 1963 |title=Free meat for Clark |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/114085924/1963-indy-500-roty-the-observer-2/ |access-date=4 December 2022 |work=[[The Observer]] |page=15 |via=[[Newspapers.com]] {{open access}} |archive-date=4 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204144710/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/114085924/1963-indy-500-roty-the-observer-2/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The 1963 Indy 500 result remains controversial. Before the race, [[United States Auto Club]] (USAC) officials had told the drivers that they would [[Black flag (motorsport)|black flag]] any car that was seen to be leaking oil onto the track. Late in the race, Jones' front-engined roadster developed a crack in the oil tank and began to leak oil. With the track surface already being slippery this resulted in a number of cars spinning and led to popular driver [[Eddie Sachs]] crashing into the outside wall. USAC officials were set to black flag Jones after the Sachs crash until his car owner [[J. C. Agajanian]] ran down pit lane and somehow convinced them that the oil leak was below the level of a known crack and would not leak any further. Colin Chapman later accused USAC officials of being biased because Clark and Lotus were a British team with a rear-engine car. Many, including journalist and author [[Brock Yates]], believed that had it been an American driver and car in second place instead of Clark in the British built Lotus, officials would have black flagged Jones. Despite this, neither Lotus nor their engine supplier [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] protested the result, reasoning that winning as a result of a disqualification when Jones had led for 167 of the races 200 laps (Clark led for 28 laps) and had set the lap record speed of {{convert|151.541|mph|1|abbr=on}} on lap 114, would not be well received by the public.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kurt |first=Kurt |date=2015-05-18 |title=What really happened in the closing laps of the 1963 Indianapolis 500? |url=https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2015/05/18/what-really-happened-in-the-closing-laps-of-the-1963-indianapolis-500 |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Hemmings |archive-date=16 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216190047/https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2015/05/18/what-really-happened-in-the-closing-laps-of-the-1963-indianapolis-500 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=O'Hare |first=Mick |date=2020-03-14 |title=F1: The race that sent motorsport back to the future |url=https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexit-news-f1-indianapolis-500-colin-chapman-jim-clark-73338/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=The New European |archive-date=16 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216190047/https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexit-news-f1-indianapolis-500-colin-chapman-jim-clark-73338/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Malsher-Lopez |first=David |date=2023-04-27 |title=1963 Indy 500: When Jones beat Clark and paused a revolution |url=https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/1963-indy-500-when-jones-beat-clark-and-paused-a-revolution/10460958/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Motorsport.com}}</ref>

[[File:Jim Clark004.jpg|thumb|upright|Clark in the Lotus pit at the [[1964 German Grand Prix]]]]
In {{F1|1964}}, Clark came within just a few laps of retaining his World Championship crown. As in 1962, an oil leak from the engine cost him the title, conceding to John Surtees. Tyre failure damaging the Lotus's suspension put paid to that year's attempt at the [[1964 Indianapolis 500]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://eis.net.au/~bramwell/indy.htm |title=The Scotsman at the Brickyard |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061020015913/http://eis.net.au/~bramwell/indy.htm |archive-date=20 October 2006 |website=Eis.net.au|date=1997|access-date=28 May 2016}}</ref> He made amends and won the Championship again in {{F1|1965}}, and also won the [[1965 Indianapolis 500]] in the [[Lotus 38]]. He had to miss the prestigious [[1965 Monaco Grand Prix]] to compete at Indianapolis but made history by driving the first [[mid-engined]] car to win at the fabled Brickyard, as well as becoming the only driver to date to win both the Indy 500 and the F1 title in the same year. Other drivers, including Graham Hill, [[Mario Andretti]], [[Emerson Fittipaldi]], and [[Jacques Villeneuve]], also won both crowns but not in the same year.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jeffries |first=Tom |date=2023-05-14 |title=How many F1 drivers have won the Indy 500?

[[File:ClarkJim(blauesHemd)1966Aug.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Clark outside the Lotus garage at the [[Nürburgring]] in 1966]]
The FIA decreed that from {{F1|1966}} new 3-litre engine regulations would come into force, and Lotus were less competitive. Starting with a 2-litre [[Coventry-Climax]] engine in the [[Lotus 33]], Clark did not score points until the [[1966 British Grand Prix]] and a third place at the [[1966 Dutch Grand Prix]]. From the [[1966 Italian Grand Prix]] onwards, Lotus used the highly complex [[BRM H16]] engine in the [[Lotus 43]] car, with which Clark won the [[1966 United States Grand Prix]]. He also picked up another second place at the [[1966 Indianapolis 500]], this time behind Hill.

During {{F1|1967}}, Lotus and Clark used three completely different cars and engines. The Lotus 43 performed poorly at the opening [[1967 South African Grand Prix]], so Clark used an old Lotus 33 at the [[1967 Monaco Grand Prix]], retiring with [[Car suspension|suspension]] failure. Lotus then began its fruitful association with [[Ford-Cosworth]]. Their first car, the [[Lotus 49]] featuring the most successful [[Formula One engines|F1 engine]] in history, the [[Ford-Cosworth DFV]], won its first race at the [[1967 Dutch Grand Prix]], driven by Clark. He won with it again at the 1967 [[1967 British Grand Prix|British]], [[1967 United States Grand Prix|United States]], and [[1967 Mexican Grand Prix|Mexican]] Grands Prix, and at the [[1968 South African Grand Prix]].

Concurrent with competing in the F1 World Drivers' Championship, Clark competed with Lotus in the [[Australasia]]-based [[Tasman Series]], run for older F1 cars. He was series champion in [[1965 Tasman Series|1965]], [[1967 Tasman Series|1967]], and [[1968 Tasman Series|1968]]. He won fourteen races in all, a record for the series. This included winning the [[1968 Australian Grand Prix]] at the [[Sandown International Raceway]] in [[Melbourne]], where he defeated the [[Ferrari 246T]] of [[Chris Amon]] by just 0.1 seconds after 55 laps of the 3.1 km (1.92 mi) circuit, the closest finish in the history of the [[Australian Grand Prix]]. The 1968 Tasman Series and Australian Grand Prix would prove to be his last major wins before his death.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=B2RAAAAAIBAJ&pg=5018%2C1371218 |work=The Herald |location=Glasgow |title=Jim Clark killed in race in Germany |date=8 April 1968 |page=1 |archive-date=28 December 2022 |access-date=1 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221228195923/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=B2RAAAAAIBAJ&pg=5018,1371218 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In what would be the first of seven victories for Clark and Team Lotus that year, he won the [[1963 Belgian Grand Prix]] at Spa-Francorchamps in foggy and rainy conditions. After starting eighth on the grid, he passed all of the cars in front of him, including early leader Graham Hill. About 17 laps into the race, with the rain coming down harder than ever, Clark had lapped the entire field except for [[Bruce McLaren]], and was almost five minutes ahead of McLaren and his Cooper.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-07-07 |title=1963 Belgian Grand Prix {{!}} Motorsport Database |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/races/1963-belgian-grand-prix/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Motor Sport}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Tremayne |first=David |date=2019-04-10 |title=F1's Best Drives #2 − Jim Clark's 1963 victory at Spa in the Belgian Grand Prix<!-- - F1’s Best Drives #2 - VIDEO | Formula 1®--> |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.f1s-best-drives-2-clark-obliterates-opposition-at-hated-spa.3f8BxBOD6cDUaMTbTNuP2P.html |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Formula 1}}</ref> In the [[1967 Italian Grand Prix]] at Monza after starting from pole, Clark was leading in his Lotus 49 (chassis R2), when a tyre punctured. He lost a lap while having the wheel changed in the pits.

He was narrowly ahead of Brabham and Surtees starting the last lap.

==Accident and death==
[[File:Jim Clark Hockenheimring tribute.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|A Clark memorial at the [[Hockenheimring]] in Germany]]
On 7 April 1968, Clark died in a racing accident at the [[Hockenheimring]] in West Germany.<ref>{{Cite news |date=8 April 1968 |title=Jim Clark dies in 170mph crash |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/1968/apr/08/formulaone |access-date=27 December 2024 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> During the four-month gap between the first race, which Clark won, and second of the {{F1|1968}} season, drivers would compete in other racing formulas. Clark was originally slated to drive in the [[BOAC 1000]]&nbsp;km sportscar race at Brands Hatch but instead chose to drive in the [[1968 Deutschland Trophäe|Deutschland Trophäe]], a [[Formula Two]] race, for Lotus at the Hockenheimring, primarily due to contractual obligations with [[Firestone Tire and Rubber Company|Firestone]]. Although the race has sometimes been described as a "minor race meeting", the entry list was impressive with top-running Matras for the French drivers [[Jean-Pierre Beltoise]] and [[Henri Pescarolo]], Tecnos for [[Carlo Facetti]] and [[Clay Regazzoni]], Team Brabhams for [[Derek Bell (racing driver)|Derek Bell]] and [[Piers Courage]], a Ferrari for Chris Amon, and McLarens for [[Graeme Lawrence]] and [[Robin Widdows]]. Team Lotus drivers Graham Hill and Clark were in Gold Leaf Team Lotuses and a young [[Max Mosley]] was also in the race, moving up from the Clubman series. The event was run in two heats.<ref name="Marriot 2010">
{{cite magazine|last=Marriott|first=Andrew|date=July 2010|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-2010/50/the-memorial-that-matters/|title=Return to Hockenheim: The memorial that matters|magazine=Motor Sport|issue=50|access-date=14 February 2024}}</ref>

On the fifth lap of the first heat, Clark's [[Lotus 48]] veered off the track and crashed into the trees. He suffered a broken neck and skull fracture, and died before reaching the hospital. The cause of the crash was never definitively identified; investigators concluded it was most likely due to a deflating rear tyre. Clark's death has a big impact on the racing community, with fellow F1 drivers and friends, such as Hill, Surtees, Amon, [[Jackie Stewart]], [[Dan Gurney]], and [[Jack Brabham]], all being personally affected by the tragedy. The 1968 F1 Drivers' Championship was subsequently won by Hill, his Lotus teammate, who held off Stewart for the crown, which he later dedicated to Clark. There is also a large memorial to Clark at Hockenheim today; because the track has been reduced in length and the old course reforested, the actual location of the crash is in a heavily wooded area.<ref name="Evans 2018">{{Cite web |last=Evans |first=Mike |date=2018-10-03 |title=Jim Clark: A quest to find the original memorial at Hockenheimring |url=https://www.macfilos.com/2018/10/03/2018-10-2-jim-clark-a-quest-to-find-the-original-memorial-at-hockenheimring/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Macfilos}}</ref> There was initial speculation as to whether the accident was caused by a driver error or a deflating rear tyre, and Lotus were investigated thoroughly by aircraft crash investigators for three weeks. Many journalists and drivers, including Surtees and Brabham, were convinced that the crash was caused by a deflating rear tyre and were adamant that it was not a driver error—simply because they believed Clark was not capable of making such a mistake.<ref name="Marriot 2010"/>

{{Quote box
 |quote  = There have been many stories about the tyres on Jim Clark's car lasting four races. This is true, but also the brake pads lasted three times longer than those of any other driver. Derek Wild used to say that you could put all the gearboxes on the bench in front of him in random order and he could tell which gearbox came out of Jim's car as it showed less signs of wear. The point is that the standard of preparation was no different between Jim's car and the number two car. It was just that the man was very "soft" on his car and so he tended to last the race distance as a result.

At the time of his death in 1968, the 32-year-old Clark had achieved 33 pole positions and had won 25 races from his 72 Grand Prix starts in championship races. He had more Grand Prix wins (25) and pole positions (33) than any other driver, including five-time World Champion [[Juan Manuel Fangio]], despite winning three fewer World Championships; he also won most of the races he finished and was often winning, or in a podium position, when he had to retire due to mechanical failures, without which he could have equalled, if not beaten, Fangio's World Championship record. Fangio himself called Clark the greatest driver ever.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rencken |first=Keith Collantine, Dieter |date=2018-04-07 |title='Fangio said he was the greatest ever': Jim Clark remembered, 50 years on |url=https://www.racefans.net/2018/04/07/fangio-said-greatest-ever-jim-clark-remembered-50-years/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=RaceFans |archive-date=16 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216175300/https://www.racefans.net/2018/04/07/fangio-said-greatest-ever-jim-clark-remembered-50-years/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
