Jim Clark Motorsport Museum
Jim Clark is widely regarded as one of
the greatest racing drivers of all time,
admired for his remarkable achievements and
famous for his humility. He dominated world
motor racing like no one before or since in
all genres of motorsport, winning the
Formula 1 World Championship in 1963 & 1965
and Indianapolis 500.
This brand new,
award winning visitor attraction, was
officially opened by Sir Jackie Stewart OBE

racing fans. Discover stories of Jim’s
greatest races, learn about his farming
background and modest personality, watch
films of him in action, stand in awe at the
trophy collection and see some of Jim
Clark's cars.

The final resting place of Jim Clark, in the cemetery of Chirnside Parish Church, Chirnside. I think it says much about the man that on his headstone, it refers to him as “Farmer”, before listing his racing success.
