About this listen
By mid-season, Jim Clark’s 1965 had changed shape.
The speed was unquestioned. The victories were accumulating. And the championship was no longer something to be chased, but something to be managed.
In this episode, we follow the point where Clark begins racing the season rather than the moment. At Zandvoort, he takes control without drama, timing his move and then protecting the advantage. At the Nürburgring, he delivers the drive that settles the championship — his sixth victory under rules that counted only a driver’s best six results, leaving no doubt and no margin for pursuit.
But what defines this phase of the year is not restraint alone.
After sealing the title, Clark does not ease off. He continues to compete — in Formula 2 and non-championship Formula One races — applying the same standards regardless of points or prestige. The calendar may have narrowed, but his approach does not.
Part 6 captures the moment when brilliance gives way to judgement, and when one of the greatest seasons in motor racing history becomes complete long before the final chequered flag is waved.
