Jim Clark in Lotus Racer after Winning the Indianapolis 500 Race, 1965
Add to SetSummary
Photographers surround driver Jim Clark in first-place car number 82. English car builder Colin Chapman kneels beside him, undoubtedly thrilled that his Formula One Lotus race car had defeated the conventional American Indy roadster. After the innovative rear-engine Lotus-Ford's 1965 win, a traditional front-engine car would never again see victory in the Indianapolis 500.
