01

Artifact Overview

Jim Clark won the 1965 Indianapolis 500 in a Lotus chassis powered by a rear-mounted Ford V-8. It was the first Indy 500 win for a rear-engine car, and it changed the pattern -- no front-engine car has won the race since. This program, for the celebratory banquet held the next day, was autographed by Clark.
