reminds me of my car in that it’ll go to crap unless i use light throttle
control but i have to maintain more aggressive approach than other drivers
in the road. still working on getting things fixed. i’ll need to redo my
idle settings once i swap ecu
I had 3 die cast F1 cars as a child from 3 different eras. This was one of
them. Watching this video threw me back in time when I played with this
one. Thanks for posting this video.
And this is why David Coulthard is such an awesome guy. He pays so much
respect to Jim and the whole team that was running the car back then. When
Lewis Hamilton drove Senna’s Mclaren a couple years back all he wanted to
do was drive the car, he didn’t take any time to talk in detail about
anything regarding the team. He’s a racing primadona, simply put. Also it
seems David has a true admiration for the Jim, the car and what they
accomplished back then. This is a quality video worth watching.
Seeing the smiles of Jim Clark and DC connecting the past and present
across 50 years of Formula 1 is amazing. Thanks Motorsport for doing this I
buy it every month it’s my favorite mag. Cheers.
Having begun racing shortly after this car ruled F1, I can appreciate some
of the comments by Coulthard and the mechanics about the “old school”
nature of both the car and driving technique. We’ve come a long way, and
some modern street vehicles can surpass this car’s overall performance, but
nobody could surpass Jim Clark’s legendary performance in wrangling these
fragile beasts.
Gracias David… bonito video. Es de lo mejor que he visto últimamente en
youtube… Thanks a lot! I didn’t see Jimmy, but he and Colin are my
childhood heroes.
One just can’t compare drivers like Fangio, Clark and Senna. They belong in
a higher league. I’m brazilian, and I’ve watched every single race Senna’s
raced. It’s absolutely impossible to say who was best. It’s like comparing
Pelé, Maradona and Messi. THEY were the best.
Absolutely stunning production. DC obviously loved the experience and
showed huge respect for the old team members. A special nod of thanks to
the sound editor for the use of Man Of Steel’s “Flight” track as DC
launched the Lotus 25, I found myself choking up. Well done to everyone
involved.
Thank you David and the BBC for this beautiful tribute to that beautiful
car, the Lotus team that created and maintained it and Jim Clark, who truly
deserves to be called a legend. Those who say that a driver needs to be
ruthless or reckless to be a champion: Jim Clark and others of that era,
showed that it was possible to be the best and win with honor.

For all you racing buffs
David Coulthard fährt Jim Clark’s Lotus 25
Really enjoyed this feature on the BBC yesterday. Particularly loved the
moment between DC and the Lotus crew at the end.
So Jimmy was an eco logical driver !

It’s much fun…if you don’t HAVE TO drive it…
A magnificent tribute to the great legends of Jim Clark and Lotus racing
cars.
felt quite emotional, fab to see the 25 in the hands of another scotsman.
Well said.
