Jim Clark's Lotus 18 leads John Surtees at Goodwood, on March 19th 1960.
This was Clark's first single seater victory and also Surtees' first ever car race, driving
Ken Tyrrell's Cooper-Austin. Starting from pole position, he enjoyed a good dice with Clark,
who won the 10 lap race and recorded the fastest lap. This was also the first ever victory
for a Ford Cosworth engine
