THAT was awesome. Jim Clark indeed was the best...and the 25 was/is beautiful.
 
Thanks, Nial. I wanted more but that was great.

I always get emotional when I see those cars, and hear them. What a time! There is another video of Dario Franchitti driving the Indy Winner and he mentions the car's design, look, colors and he doesn't know which it is that brings out the emotive quality. When I was 6 years old, Jimmy won the 500 Mile Race and I got a Matchbox car of the Lotus and I felt the same way. It's all of it, the colors, chrome, yellow bundle of snakes, font of the lettering, numbers, they made my heart leap. Of course handsome Jimmy made it my favorite with all of those wins in Formula 1 and winning my race, the Indy 500. What a time.
