Selbst 50 Jahre nach seinen Weltmeistertiteln ist die Faszination an Jim Clark ungebrochen. In den sechzigen Jahren eroberten Clark und sein Ziehvater Colin Chapman gemeinsam die Weltspitze des Motorsports. Zweimal wurde Clark auf Lotus Formel-1-Weltmeister, einmal gewann er die Indy 500 und auch in Le Mans schaffte er es aufs Podium. Insgesamt feierte Clark im Lotus über 100 Rennsiege. Dieses 400 Seiten umfassende Werk von McKlein widmet sich neben der außerordentlichen Karriere auch Clarks Privatleben von A bis Z. Autor Graham Gauld hat die Laufbahn des Ausnahmetalents ab dem ersten Moment als Freund, Fotograf und Reporter hautnah begleitet und unzählige Stunden mit Clark verbracht. Das ausladende illustrierte Werk zeigt seltene Aufnahmen aus verschiedenen bekannten Archiven und bietet somit ein intimes Porträt des Champions.
