The 50th anniversary of Jim Clark’s 1964 British Saloon Car Championship victory will be celebrated when the modern-day BTCC visits Knockhill, Fife, next August. Clark was the first of only three Scots to have won the title, with John Cleland (1989 and 1995) and Gordon Shedden (2012) following. The Jim Clark Trust will attend the event with a display of Clark’s cars, memorabilia and trophies. “It’s a natural fit in many ways,” said Knockhill event director Stuart Gray. “Jim was born in Fife and we hope to have 15,000 fans at our 2014 event, because the circuit is also celebrating its 40th anniversary.”
