Champion - Jim Clark (DVD)

Jim Clark 1936-1968

Advantages: Greatest driver in the 1960s, a proper gentleman
Disadvantages: No longer with us

at Winfield & Chaterhall. In 1958 he successfully raced a D-Type Jaguar at the Spa Grand Prix & by the following year he made his debut at Le Mans with co-driver Sir John Whitmore & finished second in their class. After his first single seater racing car event on Boxing Day 1959 at Brands Hatch he was spotted by Reg Parnell who invited him to join his Aston Martin racing team. The project never materialised so Clark joined Colin Chapman's Lotus racing team instead in 1960 & remained loyal to him for the rest of his career. It soon became clear that Jim Clark was a very talented driver, in 1962 he was their number one driver & one year later he became world champion for driver & manufacturer. He repeated that again in 1965 & also became the first British driver to win the Indianapolis 500 race in the USA. At home he was awarded an OBE. Jim ...

Review of Jim Clark

Jim Clark, The Greatest FI Driver

Advantages: Great skill. Cool. Gentleman.
Disadvantages: Didnt always have the best car

Scot Jim Clark. They were followed by three times World Champion driver the "Flying Scot" Jackie Stewart.

So far we have only considered drivers who won the world champonship but there were drivers such as Stirling Moss,Ronnie Petersen,Derek Warwick, Chris Amon, and Bruce McLaren,who were greatly admired,although they did not win the world title. If you go only by statistics then I suppose the list has to read Fangio, Prost,Senna and Schumacher.These are undeniably great drivers and certainly among the finest of all time According to Alain Prost " Ayrton was certainly ...

Review of Jim Clark

WWE Night Of Champions 2008 (DVD)

Advantages: Some great title matches, surprising outcomes, and big names
Disadvantages: Some of the first matches were a bit slow and at times not entertaining

when you see it happen, like when Hulk Hogan lifted and body slammed Andre the Giant. The match was one of endurance and strength, each man displaying their physical attributes. The momentum of the match swung each way with the two each getting their moments upon each other. Countless times you thought the match was over. It was a great match to watch and one that finished the night in great style. So..will Cena beat Triple H again to win the Title or can the King of Kings retain the belt and continue his reign since beating Randy Orton at Backlash for the belt?? "DVD Extras" The DVD has two extra features for the fans to see. One feature is a post match interview with the winner of the last match between Triple H and John Cena. This was not shown on TV. On the DVD you also get to see Jim Ross' farewell address on Raw the next evening ...
