JIM CLARK'S TYPE 29 FORD POWERED INDY CAR


In 1961, Jack Brabham brought an underpowered rear engine Cooper-Climax to Indy and finished ninth. The next year Mickey Thompson made an attempt with another rear engine car, this one powered by a Buick V-8. But it would be 1963 and car number 92, a type 29 Lotus with a Ford engine that would revolutionize Indy car design.
