News brief

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.”

Here is a man who goes racing every weekend from March to October. Paul’s passion for the sport goes back to when he was a child of the 1960s. He has organised, competed in and marshalled on scores of events, and has written about the subject for 20 years. He is as at home in the paddock at Brands Hatch as in a Welsh forest or at Shelsley Walsh.
