The first non-American to win the Indianapolis 500 in decades, On This Day in 1965. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Jim Clark skipped the Monaco Grand Prix for a third-time-lucky Indianapolis 500 win with Colin Chapman's Lotus team; his Lotus 38 became the first rear-engined winner, further ushering in the end of Indy's front-engine era. Clark returned triumphant to F1 and won the next five races in a row on his way to his second WDC crown - making him the only driver in history to win the F1 title and the Indy 500 in the same year. 💅 . . . #OnThisDay #Indy500 #IMS #JimClark #Lotus #ColinChapman #Indianapolis500 #F1 #JimClarkThings #FormulaOne #Formula1 #GrandPrix #F1History #PhotographyHistory #MotorsportHistory #MotorsportPhotography #GettyImages #GettySport #LATImages #Autocar
