doubleg Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 sorry if im been a pain but i cannot find any information on any accidents i knew he is a legend but DAMN!!! can anyone help? Clark didn't really have any major accidents, however on the 78 RAC rally he crashed on the last day when he hit a gatepost and rolled the car when driving with no clutch or starter motor. They got the car back on its wheels but with no clutch or starter couldn't get it going again. One interesting accident he had was in the early Cortina Mk1 days when he hit a tree sideways after finishing a stage. A Mini was stopped in the road and in trying to avoid it the car went out of shape and they went off into they tree. It was on the Scottish if I remember rightly. He also had an accident on the World Cup Rally while his co-driver Alec Poole was driving on a road section. Clark was rummaging around trying to find something in the back, Poole turned to see what he was doing and they ran into the back of a non-competitors car. Clark did state that he didn't know about it until his arse hit the dashboard. Other than those and the lies of the odd errant sheep on Epynt and the like he was mostly accident free for the majority of his career. There are a few stories involving other crashes which Clark was around, the best known probably being when Graham Hill was driving round Bagshot in a rally car, he was doing runs around then the noise stopped, couple of minutes later Graham Hill turned up and said the windscreen was broken so he has left the car parked up, it wasn't until the mechanics turned up that they found out the reason the screen was broken was because the car was on it's roof !!
