🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 R.I.P Jim Clark Fifty Eight years ago, a British Formula One driver who many consider having been one of the world’s finest racers died in a tragic accident on the old Hockenheimring circuit in Germany. Jim Clark was 32 years old and was taking part in a Formula Two event at the request of Team Lotus for which he worked; he would have sooner been driving at Brands Hatch, south of London on that day. Jim was considered to be one of the safest, most skilled and naturally gifted drivers and his peers did not think that driver error had caused the crash. A deflated rear tyre was widely blamed and accepted as the cause for the incident. In 2002 the Hockenheimring was shortened and the major part of the old circuit, running through the forest, was torn up and the area reforested. It is almost as though this part of the course never was. The actual site of the accident is now buried in the forest and requires a great deal of sleuthing to find. There was even some doubt as to whether there would be anything to see even if we were lucky enough to find the spot. Disappointingly, the prospects of finding the memorial were slim. We stopped and decided to turn back, but just then John spied a small conifer in among the other trees on the river banking. We had found the site of Jim Clark’s tragic accident. On closer inspection we discovered a small stone, accompanied by bunches of flowers, sitting between the two small conifers. Mission accomplished. More photographs and John savoured the moment of achieving his ambition. Jim Clark died on this spot, supposedly from a mechanical or tyre failure, on a track that no longer exists. He would have been 90 years old this year. Words of the area by Mike Evan’s 👏🏻👏🏻 📷 Mike Evan’s 👏🏻👏🏻 @JimClarkTrust #f1 #jimclark #germany #lotus

Another for the upcoming Pateon page. This is home movie of the 1973 British Grand Prix, plenty of paddock footage! And yes, at 47 seconds, I realise I miss identify Peter Revson for Mike Hailwood! @dylanmichael77 @CJGrandPrix

Another reel for the Patreon site. You'll have to put up with my dulcet tones on this, explaining where I found the film! This is Silverstone in July 1966.

@RoyalFamily Please compare your #Easter greeting (above), @RoyalFamily, with that of the @POTUS (below). You simply cannot debase your & the UK’s reputation by sending the king on an official visit to an unhinged, sadistic & foul-mouthed war criminal. You know I’m right. Cancel it now.

Massive geopolitical shift. The BBC confirms European nations are completely bypassing Washington and negotiating directly with Iran to use the Strait of Hormuz. NATO and Gulf states absolutely refuse to join Trumps disastrous military campaign. The US is isolated.

Looking at the 1937 Donington film I'm going to attempt to restore it, this section has water damage to the edge of the film. I've made an initial effort as you can see in the second pic. Bear in mind this is 1 frame,there are 24 in a second! @rwilliams1947 @CJGrandPrix #oldfilm
