Scotland is right to the fore in international racing to-day' after the phenomenal success of Jim Clark, who won the world championship this vear and aiso carried off one: of the world's richest sporting events. the American • Indianapolis five hundred-mile race. The young man tipped to take over Clark's mantle is! also a Scot-25-year-old Jackie Stewart, who hails from i Dumbarton. Supported by, Englishman Dickie Attwood, Stewart!

Stewart and Clarke 23-12-65 will lead the B.R.M. factory! team at Wigram in a 260} brake horsepower V8 - en-i gined, 2-litre version B.R.M.'s successfui 1.5 - litre Grand Prix car. He should extend Clark, winner of last season's Tasman Championship series and the 1965 Lady Wigram Trophy, to the utmost. The reason is Clark will be relying on a 225brake horsepower fourcylinder Coventry Chmax engine in his Lotus. But what Clark lacks in power he could well make up: in reliability, althougn, Judsing by Stewart's record, he might not have too much of: a margin as far as skill is concerned. So far Stewart has had only a handful of races in Formula I, but his record is most im-! this! pressive. For example, year driving in support of| Graham Hill in the B.R.M. team, he took fifth place in the British Grand Prix, third at Menaco, third in the Bel-l Dutch gian, French and Grands Prix and first place in the Italian Grand Prix at Moriza. He completed his first full season of Grand Prix racing in third place in the world title series behind Clark and Hill. Shooter Stewart might well have achieved world fame in an-i otner sphere clay pigeon shooting. His grandfather was a gamekeeper and Stew-i art inherited an interest in shooting from his father, and went on to win many grands prix in this sport which callsi for split-second reflexes and superb physical co-ordination. In 1960 he was running for a place in the Olympic clay: pigeon shooting team, and in! 1962, when he married, he went for his honeymoon to thei German clay pigeon shooting! Grand Prix but took time off! to try his skill on the Nurburg. ring where he circulated so many times that he wore out the tyres of his 3.8 Jaguar.! Jackie Stewart made an early acquaintance with moter racing. His elder brother Jimmy was a been racing motorist and was regarded as one of Britain's most promising drivers until a couple of accidents forced his retirement. When Jackie Stewart decided to "have a go" he came up against parental opi position, but in 1960 he carried out some private tesang ion cars owned by racing pat- 'ron Barry Filer and as a result of this drove under a pseudonym for the season in a Marcos GT. He had four starts and four placings, two of which were outright wins. The canny little Scot was! most socretive about this sıde of tis life and the news that he was racing did not reach parental ears until after his! marriage! Good Season In 1963, Stewart drove a variety of cars to chalk up: fourteen wins, a second, two thirds and six retirements out of iwenty-three starts. These were mostly club events but! he also drove from time to: time in the big events fori Ecurie Ecosse. Stewart moved into the big time in 1964 under the wing! of Ken Tyrrell, who runs the; Cooper-B.M.C. Formula 3 cars! for the Cooper Car Company and British Motor Corporation. This was the starting point of a career that hasi shot the diminutive Scot to the top. In quick time in Tyrreil cars he won eleven interrational events and the Grand Prix team managers were soon knocking at his roor. He had a number of drives in a works Formula 2 Lotus and his first Formula 1 drive was in a Lotus at Brands Hatch after a practice session before the 1964 British Grand Prix, and towards the end of that year he drove one in the Rand Grand Prix in South AfrICa. When' the American driver Richie Ginther left B.R.M. at the end of 1964 to become No. 1 driver for the Japanese Honda concern, Stewart was offcred and accepted the billet as No. 2 to Graham Hill in the B.R.M. team. At his South African Grand Prix on January 2 he finished a steady sixth and then went on to fin- E350 Jim Clark ish in the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch in second place in March. Then came the world title series and a run of consis tently good performances not only in Formula I but also in Formula 2 in a Tyrrell-entered Cooper-B.R.M. gay character who really enjoys his racing and finds fun in everything, he is a very serious Foung man when he setties i into ine cockpit of a racing car. He is a nonsmoker and does not touch alcohol. Very modest, Jackie Stewari says he has a lot to learn in motor racing, but there are others who think otherwise — Jim Clark among them who will almost certainly be fully extended to take a Wigram "double" on January 22. 8-1-66 Woman Enters Wigram Races Miss D.
