Shortly after his 17th birthday, garage owner Jock McBain advised him to enter an auto test. He won it. Clark agreed to drive for Aston Martin's GP team in 1960, but the project was delayed and he was released to Lotus for Formula 2 and Junior racing, and when Colin Chapman had him under contract he soon promoted him to the GP team. Clark tragically lost his life in a Formula 2 race at Hockenheim in 1968
