I certainly will not disagree with you on that point. He held a number of records in F1 at the time he died, and his record for career poles stood until 1987.

That one was broken by some guy named Senna.

But I have to say that what really impresses me about Jim Clark is that he didn’t come from money. He just had an incredible amount of natural talent, and at the time he was working his way through the ranks in auto racing that was enough to get him to the top.
