	Jim Clark (racing driver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clark's Formula 1 career was with the Lotus team, for whom he drove from 1960 to 1968.
		He had to miss the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix to compete in it, but made history by driving the first rear-engined car to win the race.
		On April 7, 1968 during a Formula Two race at the Hockenheim, Germany circuit, Jim Clark died when his car veered off the race course and crashed into some trees.

		It was with Parnelli that Andretti tackled Grand Prix racing full time in 1975, as opposed to the sporadic entries he made in previous years.
		At the Italian Grand Prix, Andretti secured the world championship, but his joy was short lived with news the following day that Peterson had died in hospital.
		It would have been misrepresentative of his skills to sign off from Grand Prix racing on such a note, so it was with great delight that Andretti returned to Ferrari for two races in 1982, replacing the injured Didier Pironi.

		American Formular One driver Peter Revson, who won the 1973 British and Canadian Grand Prix events and was runner-up at the 1971 Indianapolis 500, was killed during a practice run in 1974.
		He was appointed captain of the South African team for the 1970 test matches against England, the first Jew to reach such a position.
		Though an outspoken advocate of multiracial cricket, he was to have led his all-white team in the Commonwealth Matches at Edinburgh in 1970, but violent opposition in England to South African apartheid in sport caused cancellation of his team's participation.

		The South Africans had adopted a set of rules for their championship that were basically the same as for the international F1 World Championship.
		The South African GP on 2 January 1967 was probably the race that was the highlight of John’s career as racing driver.
		At the South African GP early in March he qualified in a creditable 10th position, but in the race he was no more than a mid-field runner until ignition problems forced him out of the race.

		The South African Grand Prix kicked off the season as usual but rather than being in January as it had been the race was moved back to March.
		After the traumatic 1968 season (during which four F1 drivers died in different forms of racing) there was a fairly large switch around of drivers.
		The entry for the South African race was bolstered by the usual selection of locals, notably John Love in a Lotus 49, while Team Lotus decided to run a third car for Mario Andretti and Rob Walker continued to run his Lotus 49 for Jo Siffert.
