“People would not understand that you could be frightened. Well, it’s all part of it. If there was nothing to be frightened of there, and nothing, and no limit, any silly bugger could get in a motor car.” – Jim Clark
Personal, captivating and unique – spend a quiet Sunday hour with ‘The Quiet Champion’ in this wonderful BBC Four documentary about Jim Clark.
It’s full of rare footage provided by Jim’s family, interviews with the man, his family and friends, and the stars of a glorious period of motorsport and, of course, wonderful race footage featuring everything from his early club events to his Formula One career.
Enjoy!

[...] the suave-acting, stereotype racer, as he battled with Mike Hawthorn or Sir Stirling Moss, or Jim Clark – and especially Graham Hill – just as well as he fitted in with his personal era in Formula 1 [...]
I knew him well, I was in ‘Team Lotus’ at the same as he was, very very quick in any car he stepped into, never looked quick, but was, a lovely calm & quiet man. We had geat fun in those days.
