A unique trophy gifted to two-time F1 world champion Jim Clark is set to go on display in Duns, Scotland, the country of his birth. The specific trophy, a gold helmet from 1965, was awarded to Clark for winning the F1 title and the Indianapolis 500 that year, and will be exhibited at the Jim Clark Motorsport Museum. The golden helmet will be on display in Duns for the next three years, described as legendary by assistant curator Andrew Tulloch. Clark, born in 1936 and tragically passing in an F2 accident in 1968, achieved his first F1 title in 1963 and made history with his 1965 F1 and Indy 500 double victory. The helmet, a gift from fuel sponsor Esso, features a unique design with symbols representing the countries where Clark won races on his way to the 1965 F1 championship. The museum has worked diligently to find the perfect display case for this one-of-a-kind trophy, emphasizing that there is nothing else like it in the world.
