Jim Clark in Lotus Racer at the Indianapolis 500 Race, 1965
Add to SetSummary
Scotsman Jimmy Clark was photographed in his Lotus-Ford Type 38 in 1965. Clark finished second at the 1963 Indianapolis 500, and he was forced out early by tire and suspension damage in 1964. The third time was the charm when, in 1965, Clark became the first driver to win Indy with a rear-engine car -- and the first foreign driver to win since 1916.
