At the 1962 Belgian Grand Prix held at Spa-Francorchamps, Jim Clark won a championship Formula One Grand Prix for the first time, and this at his 17th attempt. Picture above: Lotus boss Colin Chapman and Scot Jim Clark at Spa in 1962.
Clark would drive 55 more championship F1 Grand Prix, winning 24 of them. He also won 19 non-championship F1 races in 53 starts. Such was his domination. Picture below: Jim Clark, in his Lotus 25, takes the checkered flag as a winner, at the 1962 Belgian Grand Prix.
