The scene captures the intense focus and raw power of Formula 2 racing as Jim Clark, the legendary Scottish driver, pilots his Lotus 48-Cosworth around the iconic German circuit. The date is April 7, 1968, and this image stands as the last known photograph of Clark before his tragic and untimely death in a Formula 2 race just weeks later at Hockenheim. The somber significance of this photograph is palpable, as we now know that Clark's fate would be sealed on the very same track where he is seen here in the midst of competition. The photograph captures the essence of the race, with Clark's Lotus 48 weaving through the turns, its tires gripping the asphalt as it pushes towards the apex. The Cosworth engine roars in the background, a testament to the raw power and determination of both the driver and the machine. The crowd, a sea of people in period clothing, can be seen in the background, their faces a mix of excitement and anticipation as they watch the race unfold.
