I watched that as well.

The guy was amazing.

I have been to his museum in Duns which has most of his trophies.

Yea, had never realised just how well the guy did to be honest. Was really impressed when I watched that on TV the other night.


Cheers,

Simply the best ever ive said that many times on here the problem is most youngsters believe the good drivers started with senna they didnt. Clark could win driving anything only in Sports cars did he perhaps lack the ability of Moss the best sports car driver ever.

He done a race with the lotus cortina and was that far ahead, that on his last lap he stopped and picked up a photographer and took him accross the line.

The show never showed that bit though.
