A retrospective highlights Jim Clark, the Scottish Formula One driver, winning the Natal Grand Prix in a Lotus 21 and the 1968 Australian Grand Prix in a Lotus 49T.
At the Natal Grand Prix in East London Clark started on pole in the Lotus 21, recovered from a spin and, despite sustaining gearbox damage, overtook British driver Stirling Moss to claim the victory.
At the Tasman Series round that doubled as the 1968 Australian Grand Prix Clark drove a Lotus 49T to the lead from the start, fending off Ferrari driver Chris Amon in a close finish to win.
Jim Clark's wins in the Lotus 21 and 49T contribute to a wider legacy: his 25 world championship victories from 72 starts remain 10th on the all-time list, and he also found success in Indycar and sportscars.
