JIM CLARK'S 1965 INDY WINNING LOTUS FORD

When Scotsman Jim Clark finished second in the 1963 Indianapolis 500 he was driving one of two small rear engine cars entered that used a Lotus chassis and an American Ford V-8 engine. When he won the race two years later 27 of the 33 cars entered had their engine in the rear. The era of the roadster that began with Ray Harroun's Marmon Wasp in 1911 was over.
