For the record, I part owned a Lotus 32 in the early seventies in the U.K. which I raced just a few times. In one race at Thruxton, a brazed nut for a pinch bolt on the rear anti roll bar broke. causing the vertical rod to bounce around. The vertical rod bounced up off the track and got caught in the upper A arm. The car flew off the track into the field. Thank God it was an empty field with no trees or other obstructions, leaving me stunned, because I had no warning and got out of the car wondering what happened? Then I saw the vertical rod wedged in the suspension. I have seen photos of the rear of the car that Jim Clark was driving at the time he got killed, and it looks to me like the same 'brazed nut' design had been used. If the pinch bolt is either over tightened, or adjusted regularly, the braze can crack causing the nut on the clevis to come off. Even if the vertical rod doesn't come completely off, it is possible for a sudden change in roll resistance to cause loss of control. I know there are those who don't like my saying that, but I do contend that maybe what happened. Mark A. Kopieczek
Racing God JIM CLARK - Unmatched Maestro. By far the Greatest Driver Ever - No doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio, Senna, Prost, Stewart and countless others about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... ! This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps... In 1965 he had the most succesful year of any driver in the history of the sport: He won the F1 World Championship, the Tasman Series with F1 cars, the Indy 500, the British and French F2 Championship, the British Touring car Championship, totally over 50 (!) victories in one season !!!! For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just some examples of his mesmeric unique genius...
Oh yes...since when the Brits are memember of geneva convention? They treated the asians very bad And only artacked children, women and old people. Check out what zhey did in whole asia
No new news here. Fewer but more relevant photos needed. It is believed chassis damage may have been the cause of the accident ( the car was apparently damaged at Barcelona just before this race). Further, there is an account that Chapman took the chassis back to Britain pdq! Whatever, Clark was arguably the best ever. RIP 🤔
What was the 'Truth'? Why were there pictures of current F1. I suppose its one way to make money out of money from the death of a legend you don't know much about
@@ChrisRaeAdmin Death of a brit who crashed a lighter car with an significant advantage over his competitors was also his downfall yet died on German soil not long after WW2 HOW EMBARRASING hence why I'm Supporting Ha Ha Hamilton GOAT winner
Jim Clark was my hero, at 11 I was in the stands when he won the 500! Before there was a big monument, it was 1974, buddy and I bushwacked through the Hockenheim Forest to find the plague that marked the spot. Jimmy Clark was a great smooth driver. Getting sad right now!! He was given a rooky test because the rules at the Indianapolis 500 required it, many Hoosiers thought he was arrogant. That could be why the official did not black flag Jones! Bit of click bait as you never introduced anything new although the title infers such. Jim Clark was a Scott, Scottish!
NOTHING new here. There is no Truth Finally coming out. We still do not know what caused the crash of Jim Clark's car. This video is just repeating what we already know, and that is very little about the crash.
@@CarolCraig-lf5vo It's about a driver who had an significant advantage over his competitors with a lighter car that's nothing special unlike the GOAT story of Lewis Hamilton
Hamilton is waaayyy behind on percentages despite driving a much more reliable machine with electronic assists. Clark was also never beaten by team mates. Hamilton has been. New to the sport huh?
Nessuno mai avra' le statistiche e che aveva Jim Clark.....solo altri due hanno qualche somiglianza nella guida con lui, Gilles Villeneuve...la leggenda che solo in una stagione ha avuto una monoposto decente, e Ayrton Senna...il magico. Aggiungo Niki Lauda e Schumacher....💯💖
@@dryfesands1367Poor Jimmy is too way way down compared to the most total of Wins ever plus at an individual Grand Prix circuit counting Pole Positions and most fastest laps etc Lewis Hamilton is on other level higher than Jimmy who crashed his car due to not having the skills and physical strength to drive like Lewis Hamilton. Jimmy also was only winning due to having an significant advantage driving a much lighter car than his rivals but it was also his downfall for not surviving his crash because the car was basically made out of cardboard to save weight so his survival cell failed by his own stupidity and he couldn't of choosen to die at a worse location Nazi Germany not long after WW2 a brit dies again how embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@F1Guy-Guy utter nonsense. You're obviously unaware that Hamilton had the opportunity to compete in many more events due to calendar changes which means modern F1 drivers can rack up inflated totals. In wins per start, poles per start and fastest laps per start, Clark hammers Hamilton. As for your nonsense about Clark's talent . . . Where to begin . . . Clark raced fully manual machinery. No electronic assistance whatsoever. No support from the pit wall. No down force. On cross ply compounds with far lower and less predictable grip. Lewis Hamilton on the other hand has never had to rev match a shift in his entire career, or diagnose his own car issues. Clark's accident was caused by a tyre letting go at one of the fastest parts of the circuit. It was not a driver error. Clark only retired from a World Championship race once due to driver error (Germany 66). Hamilton had made *many* more errors but is lucky to compete in an era when they aren't punished by the circuits. The Lotus 48 Clark died in was not significantly lighter than other cars of the era. And as for his titles coming due to car advantage . . . Go and look at what Clark's team mates did with those cars. Clark utterly dominated the 1965 season in a car his tram mates put on the podium once. Just once. Go and look it up. That doesn't look like a dominant Mercedes 1-2 situation to me. And of course Clark never needed a Bottas to move over and let him win. He never had a Rosberg or Button beat him in his own team (despite having Graham Hill amongst others as team mates). As for your utter nonsense about Germany the War and embarrassment . . . The only thing here that's embarrassing is you. You don't know much about this sport do you?
Jim Clark is still unmatched as the most complete and diverse racing driver. RIP.

Hamilton has the same smooth driving style that preserves tyres and puts less stress on cars he drives. But these are different times.
Not a 'scotch' farmer's son, a Scots farmers son. Scotch is a drink .....
He clearly says Scottish Farmers son!

TLDR...no news, no revelations, nothing we haven't known since 1968....and unfortunately most of the photos are not relevant.
Jim had it all look courage and skill died too young
Fair video- but the photos are ALL over the place- I smell mediocre AI....
Yup, me too.

When Jimmy died I didn't watch motor racing for years.
@@dennisesplin3285 Didn't watch until a young brit from Stevenage turned up that brought your bloody attention didn't it Hahaha Hamilton! 44
I bought a Black badge Lotus type 54 from 1969, as did Niki Lauder.
I believe we have known that truth.
Ease up pal. Take a breath!
