There was a wee surprise, or maybe that
should be a big surprise, because there
wasn't just one individual winner in this year's Jim Clark Memorial Awards, it
was presented to a whole family!
Last weekend the Association of Scottish
Motoring Writers made their annual presentation to the Franchitti family.
Sponsored by Ford Motor Company this
annual award recognises the efforts of Scots who have made a significant
contribution to the world of motoring or achieved great success on track or
stage.
The occasion marked a 'first' for this
47th year of the Jim Clark Award as it recognised a truly unique family
achievement. George and Marina with their 'boys' Dario and Marino and daughter
Carla have added another chapter to the book of Scottish motoring and motor
sporting success.
This remarkable wee corner of north west
Europe has punched well above its weight in the motoring sporting world. In the
past 60 years Scotland has produced 8 World Champions on 2, 3 and 4 wheels.
