Jim Clark's Lotus
25-Climax
Racing immortal Jim
Clark qualified this
Lotus 1st, but DNF'd. The race history is a little confusing:
Clark was a strong runner in this car for 44 laps, then stopped at the
pits with fuel-injection problems. After a long stop he continued
in next-to-last place, but stopped again after 6 laps.
Team leader Colin Chapman called in teammate
Mike Spence, then running 4th, and replaced him with Clark (Could you imagine
that happening today? TM) . Spence continued in Clark's car,
but DNF'd after only 5 more laps.
Clark (in Spence's car) moved up to 3rd,
but retired after 102 laps with an empty gas tank. He was awarded
7th place.
