Jimmy Clark on the 912

Post by 912Flyer »

During lockdown I had a number of opportunities to get things done and one was reading some of the books I have amassed.

One such book is 50 years of Porsche 912 by Jurgen Lewandowski.

A fact not known to me was that in 1965 Jim Clark drove a 912 through the Bruning Pass and thought that the 912 felt so safe and firmly attached to the road that he was quoted as saying " Finally a Porsche that stays under your backside" which was reported in a Swiss Motoring Journal.

Fine praise indeed from one of the top racing drivers of all time. :compress:
