Good morning Jim Clark.
Good morning.
How are you ?
Very well I guess.
Nice to see you in Geneva.
It's good to be here.
Tell me Jim Clark, I think all the people in Geneva and in Switzerland would like to know who you are. Tell us !
Well, you know my name of course, Jim Clark.
I was 1963 World Racing Champion and I drive for the Works Lotus team.
I was born in Scotland, I'm Scottish, and I'm just 28 years old this week.
How much ?
28.
28 years old, very young. And it's very very nice. Where you come from Scotland ?
I come, nowadays I live in the very south in Berwickshire, but I was born in Fife.
And when did you start to race car ?
I started racing in 1958.
Already on the car or did you start already on a bicycle, on a motorbike ?
I am, I started on cars, I didn't race motorbikes at all,
my parents wouldn't allow me even to get on a motorbike.
They allowed you to go on a car ?
Oh yes !
And how did you start racing cars ?
Why, what is the reason and how ?
I started through, I think, a fascination for speed, for the knowledge to know what it was like to race,
to find out for myself what I watched other people doing
and I think this is really why I started.
But tell me, did you start on tourist, Gran Turismo, F1 or Junior ?
No I started on ordinary saloon cars,
then I went on to sports cars and the sports cars until 1960,
then I joined the Lotus Works team and I,
since then I've done Formula Junior, Formula One, Formula Two, GT, saloons, everything.
Everything.
Well, we are quite surprised to see you today in such a tourist car,
because we have been waiting for you in a Formula One or Junior where everybody came here to hear the noise and so on
and I think it's quite surprising. Why did you came on this car ?
Well I,
I have done, I drive one of these back in England, I've done about 6,000 miles the last couple of months and one,
and also I'm going to be racing one of those these cars this year
in saloon car races in Britain, and it is the Lotus Cortina
and it was developed by Lotus
and it is a very lively car, no it's shall we say uh,
what is it a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Yes !
And it's a very nice car.
It's very nice car?
Oh yes !
And you think it's also a sport car even if it's a tourist category ?
It's a tourist category for road and also, if you want to, to
have a bit of fun with it, you can use it for racing.
Nervous, fast ?
Oh yes, very fast.
Nice reactions ?
Yes, yes.
It has been developed as such, you know, by the Mr. Chapman of the designer of the Lotus car,
and he's put a lot of work in developing it and it's a very nice car.
Tell me, now you have been World Champion,
you're going to race again this year in Formula One I think?
Oh yes !
You're going to try to win again the World Champion title and I would like to know,
do you have a special kind of living or you're just like every human being,
because we think that when you're a champion you don't have to smoke,
you don't have to eat, to drink coffee, you don't have to drink wine, is that right ?
No I, I live life as a human being.
I've always been a human being and I always will be and, obviously, people
expect different things of you but I'm afraid that I don't look at, look on the
championship as, there as in that light. I look at more achievements and
then something that one has got to live up to. I think it's a, I think it's one
one has to obviously have respect for and so on, but I don't think one has to, to overdo it at all.
You just make life like everybody, you don't make special sacrifice or something like that ?
Well you have to sacrifice a certain amount of privacy, shall we say, but that is all.
Last year who was for you the best, after you, the best racer in Formula One ?
I wouldn't like to put it as one driver.
Many ?
I think there are many,
I would name three, I could think of three in particular.
Who ?
I would say, not in a special order,
I would say Graham Hill, last year's World Champion, also in 1962,
John Surtees of the Ferrari team and Dan Gurney on the Brabham.
And how is it going to be this year ?
I think it's going to be very much the same, also in that three,
I think one could almost include Jack Brabham, also along with Gurney.
And we'll have the same car ?
It's a very strong team.
We are going to have virtually the same car,
obviously we're doing our best to get a little
more power out of it and make it make the road-holding even better, but
it is virtually the same car as last year.
Do you know our Swiss racer, Joseph Siffert ?
I know Joseph Siffert.
What do you think about him ?
I think Joseph Siffert is a very fine driver and
I think he tries hard, he's got that determination which one requires
and I think with a little bit of luck, he'll get this success he deserves.
Very good. You have seen we have another Swiss racer which name is Silvio Moser
which have won la Temporada and all the Junior race in South America ?
Yes, well I don't know him I'm afraid.
You dont know him. You will see him soon I think.
Something else, we are now on the autoroute
and we have many accidents of this autoroute.
Can you tell me why do you think they are happened so many
dead accident right now ?
So many accidents on autoroute or on just roads ?
No, on the road.
I think, one of the reasons maybe that people do not concentrate hard enough on the driving.
I know this from driving on the road, from driving on the track that
if I let my concentration relax for a minute, that is when I get into trouble.
And I think the same applies to the road,
I do a lot of driving on the road, every year, and
I know that I sometimes find myself in a little difficulties and it's usually because I have been thinking.
I mean you know thinking about what I'm going to have for my tea or
what I'm going to do when I get home or something like this
instead of concentrating on this essential part of driving.
And if you can give advice to the people, you can say "be concentrated on the road".
Concentrate on what you're doing.
Jim Clark, I thank you very much,
we wish you the best luck for next year,
for all the race and we hope to see you again in Geneva next time you come here.
Thanks a lot.
Very nice to meet you. Bye bye.
