Clark, one-handed!

Jim Clark won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps four times in-a-row from 1962 to 1965, winning the 1963 race (picture-above) by four minutes and 54 seconds!

In 1963, after starting eighth on the grid, Clark (Lotus 25-Climax V8) passed in extremely wet and rainy conditions, all the cars in front of him, including early leader Graham Hill in his BRM.

At the end of the race, Clark had not only lapped the entire field except for Bruce McLaren, but the margin over the second-placed Cooper driver was almost five minutes!

The Scot’s performance was made even more impressive by the fact that gearbox issues meant he had to hold his gear lever in place, thus driving one-handed, whenever fifth gear was selected on this high-speed circuit.
