the racing line …



Jack Brabham leading team mate Denny Hulme (Brabham-Repco BT29), Jackie Stewart & Graham Hill (BRM P261) & in the background we can see Jim Clark (Lotus-Climax 33), 1966 German Grand Prix, Nürburgring



despite an underpowered Lotus, Clark managed to set pole -showing his superior driving skills- but crashed on lap 11, leaving the path clear for Jack Brabham to take his 4th consecutive win of the season, those combined with a 2nd place during the last Grand Prix of the year at Mexico City was more than enough for the Australian to secure his 3rd world title, almost 6 years after his previous title
