Best Drivers of the 1960s
Well we've had the since 94 thread (BTW, I choose 1994 on due to the fact that Mansell, Senna, Prost and Piquet weren't a factor in that time period), the 70s thread and the 80s thread. Here is the 1960's version.
I haven't decided on my picks yet, but I can tell you, Jimmy Clark will be #1, that's for sure, and Jacky Ickx will be plastered somewhere on the list too. |

How about drivers of the 1920s just to make it interesting?

1920s, trying to stick to GP drivers, though most did sportscars as well:
Robert Benoist Rudolf Caracciola Henry Segrave Felice Nazzaro Antonio Ascari 'W Williams' Jimmy Murphy Louis Chiron Not sure about the last two - Varzi and Nuvolari did start racing in the 1920s, but they should probably be on a 1930s list! I'll get back to you on the '60s!! |

Clark
Rindt G Hill Stewart Surtees Rodriques (Both) Brabham McLaren Hulme Amon Copied the above list and made some changes. Wouldn't necessarily suggest that they are in order of superiority either. |

Apologies Mekola. Itz juzt that z is near s and I prefer it (s that is). But I really thought it was spelled with an "s". As opposed to Gonzalez with a "z".
And Spearce. I'm lazy ok? You got another point?

1. Clark: Possibly the best ever
2. Stewart 3. Moss - not much racing in the sixties, but boy was he quick 4. Brabham - won as a driver and as a driver/constructor 5. Hill - not like Clark, but very good nonetheless 6. Rindt - quick 7. von Trips - what would have been? 8. Surtees - the Rossi of the 50's won in F1 as well and was damn good at it 9. Gurney - The only driver Clark feared 10. Amon - too unlucky |

Jim Clark - The Greatest
Jackie Stewart - Perfectionist Graham Hill - Larrakin but worked very hard at his job Jochen Rindt - Deserved more luck but very, very quick Dan Gurney - Was far better than his career win tally shows Jack Brabham - Workmanlike performances Bruce McLaren - Under-rated and started an empire John Surtees - Great rider, great driver Chris Amon - He deserved a win. More wins actually... |

The 60s produced a LOT of big names. Someone who knows little about race drivers will know more out of the 60s then probably any other decade.

I guess it depends how old they are!
My list (not in order): Clark Moss Hill, G Surtees Stewart Gurney Ickx Siffert Amon Brabham Honourable mentions go to Rindt and Rodriguez - both produced either their best driving after the '60s and/or in other categories (eg. Pedro in Sportscars), but I might change my mind and put them in next time! Last edited by krt917; 6 Aug 2003 at 07:46. |

There were so many good drivers during the 60's but due to the level of competition, most of the time they are ignored.
Particularly guys like Richie Ginther and Jo Siffert... |

1. clark
2. Stewart 3. Hill 4. Rindt 5. Surtees 6. Gurney 7. Brabham 8. Hulme 9. Von Tripps 10.Moss I put Moss 10th because he didn't really get a fair crack at the 60's but his win in the lotus at Monaco was tops. Last edited by alesi95; 6 Aug 2003 at 10:03. |
