At Auto Shanghai 2025, the company is introducing its first self- developed automated driving system (ADAS), designed for especially seamless and safe driving experiences Powerful full-stack solution: The system, developed by CARIAD’s joint venture CARIZON and trained by the intelligent AI-driven data platform GAIA, offers highly precise and fully safety-focused driving functions up to Level 2++, and paves the way for development toward Level 3 and beyond Innovations for all: Volkswagen will implement the technology this year and integrate it into a new generation of Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICV) for the compact segment starting from 2026—making highly automated driving accessible to more Chinese customers in entry-level vehicle segments Ralf Brandstätter, Volkswagen AG Group Board Member for China: “The rapid progress in developing our new ADAS system highlights CARIZON’s technical capabilities and the implementation strength of our ‘In China, for China’ strategy. We are developing cutting- edge technology locally—at ‘China Speed’—tailored to our Chinese customers, with the highest standards in driving performance, safety and quality.” Beijing, 17. April 2025 -The Volkswagen Group is systematically expanding its local technology competence in China as part of its ongoing commitment to the “In China, for China” strategy. At Auto Shanghai, Volkswagen will debut its first proprietary AI-powered, highly automated driving system. Specially developed for China’s complex traffic environments, the system is self-learning and engineered for both seamless and extremely safe driving experiences. Through an efficient System-on-Chip (SoC) with high computing power, it enables smooth, rapid responses to a wide range of driving scenarios. The group will present a Volkswagen- brand model with this technology in China before the end of this year. Starting next year, it will also be integrated into models based on the China-specific Compact Main Platform (CMP), marking it accessible to price-sensitive compact segment customers. The development marks a significant milestone in building up in-house development competence for core technologies that are in high demand among Chinese customers. Already today, a quarter of all newly registered vehicles in the Chinese market are equipped with a Level 2 driving system for highway scenarios. By 2030, Level 2+ is expected to be in use in more than 80 per cent of vehicles in the market. Level 2++, which covers both highway and urban traffic scenarios, is then expected to be installed in 75 per cent of new vehicles. In line with this outlook, Volkswagen Group established CARIZON a joint venture between its software lighthouse CARIAD and Chinese tech company Horizon Robotics, in November 2023 as part of its “In China, for China” strategy. The joint venture specialises in highly advanced automated driving systems for the Chinese market. Over the past 18 months, more than 500 software experts across the company’s Beijing and Shanghai locations have driven the development of the new ADAS technology forward. Ralf Brandstätter, Volkswagen AG Group Board Member for China and CEO of Volkswagen Group China: “With our new ADAS system, we are demonstrating what is possible when strengths of Volkswagen are combined with local innovation. The system has been developed at ‘China speed’, fully tailored to the needs of our Chinese customers and will set a new benchmark in the market for driving performance, safety and quality. The rapid progress we have made reflects the outstanding capabilities of our joint venture CARIZON and the successful implementation of our ‘In China, for China’ strategy.” GAIA: AI-powered data platform accelerates development cyclesThe system transforms Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) into predictive driving companions with human-like driving experience that can avoid dangerous situations before they arise. The key to this is “GAIA”, CARIZON’s proprietary AI-driven data platform for intelligent data collection and analysis. With two terabytes of data collected per vehicle per day and over 100,000 kilometres of test driving daily, GAIA enables highly automated AI training of the vehicle software. Compared to conventional data platforms without an AI Big-Data technology, GAIA accelerates data analysis sixfold and reduces the verification cycles of AI solutions to just one-twentieth of their original duration. This enables CARIZON to generate and validate hundreds of thousands of real-world driving scenarios with exceptional speed and accuracy— accelerating the development cycle, reduces costs, and ensuring a particularly seamless and safe driving performance. Marcus Hafkemeyer, CEO of CARIZON, said: “With a team of 500 local ADAS experts and the consistent integration of AI in the development process, we have built an advanced ADAS system in a very short time—one that will deliver outstanding performance in driving performance and safety. This year, we will bring Level 2+ ADAS to the road. Level 2++ ADAS with Urban Navigate on Autopilot (NoA) is in advanced testing and will be launched in 2026. This will also enable us to lay the technological foundations for a fast-track evolution towards Level 3.” Auto Shanghai: Group showcases Next-Gen Smart EVs for ChinaVolkswagen Group is accelerating its transformation by consistently implementing its “In China, for China” strategy. The company is strengthening its local development capacities in e-mobility, digitalisation, and intelligent driving, while also accelerating its decision-making and development processes in the region. This enables rapid responses to market-defining trends in China and fully leverages the growth and innovation potential of the market. Auto Shanghai 2025 marks a key milestone in this transformation. For the first time, Volkswagen Group will present an entirely new generation of smart electric vehicles from Audi and Volkswagen brands—developed exclusively in China for Chinese customers.

Maserati focus on Grecale: the new range expands to meet every customer’s desires

Industry News

Images are for editorial use only. Modena, 17 April 2025 – Maserati Grecale is the leading name in the commercial proposal of the Trident brand, which has decided to broaden the range of its “Everyday Exceptional” SUV with updates to the engines, interiors and bodywork, to meet all customer needs. Passion, innovation, and versatility are the ingredients in the Grecale, which together with the GranTurismo, GranCabrio, MC20, MC20 Cielo and GT2 Stradale, stands as the epitome of Italian luxury “the Maserati way”, expressing the Brand’s DNA devoted to the spirit of grand touring, with the ability to combine performance and elegance in a unique, refined and unparalleled driving experience. With the update of the Grecale MY25 range, the commercial offering is even broader, as are the dedicated specifications: the launch of the new “Grecale” version, to add to the Modena and Trofeo variants, as well as to the Folgore, with an 100% electric powertrain. Santo Ficili, Maserati CEO, stated: “ Grecale is a model of fundamental importance for our Brand and for the entire Maserati range. With the SUV, we wanted to expand our commercial offering to meet the needs and desires of our customers, by providing a variety of options that combine performance, elegance and innovation. This approach reflects our dedication to the consumer to meet and exceed their expectations, ensuring that each of our models epitomises the excellence of Italian luxury: our network is ready to ensure the very best selection, purchasing and assistance experience”.   New Maserati Grecale line-upThe new “Grecale” version is exceptional in everyday life thanks to the 300-CV 4-cylinder mild hybrid engine1 and the numerous luxury details in terms of both aesthetics and comfort, including 20” diamond-cut wheel rims, premium leather interior and 12-way heated comfort seats.Conversely, the Modena version – equipped with a 330-CV (325 hp) 4-cylinder mild hybrid – stands out for its sporty aesthetic orientation, including 21” Diamond wheels, Matrix headlights, limited-slip differential and adaptive suspension. In the meantime, the Trofeo version continues as the most extreme performance-oriented variant, with a 530-CV (525 hp) V6 Nettuno engine. Finally, the Grecale Folgore is the first 100% electric SUV in Maserati history, equipped with a 105-kWh battery with an output of 410 kW. An increasingly captivating and rich colour paletteLuxury brand positioning means providing the opportunity to choose: Maserati always focuses every decision on the customer and the entire Grecale range serves as but one example.Precisely for this reason, the colour palette has been renewed and expanded: up to 11 body colours are now available, in addition to the many customisation options offered by the Maserati Fuoriserie Programme, which includes nine solid and metallic colours (including the new Blu Pastello and Giallo Genio Gloss), thirteen three- and four-layer proposals (including the new Dark Aurora Boreale and Gold Venus) and four matte colours (the latter including Digital Aurora Matte). Maserati resembles a haute-couture brand and has also come up with a spring collection dedicated to the most vibrant colour combinations, the standouts among which include bodywork in Orange Devil, paired with black brake callipers and an interior in Sport Premium Ice/Black leather. Interiors and trim more than ever devoted to attention to detailEverything in the Grecale exudes attention to detail: opening its doors is like entering a world of comfort and style with prestigious materials enhancing the surfaces, together with the quest for unique graphics and colours, extended in the new MY2025 range into even more of a wealth of combinations.There are five seat configurations, including the brand-new Premium Leather Chocolate and Sport Leader Black Blue options, as well as eleven Fuoriserie seating options, which can be combined with two standard interior finishes and four others from the customisation programme. The interiors begin with the focus on contemporary architectural language, also found in the details of the exteriors with a rich choice of five types of rims, paired with brake callipers in five colours, one of which is custom-made. The trim levels thus become exciting by offering over 2,000 combinations as standard, with infinite possibilities when drawing on the Fuoriserie programme. Services and accessories for the utmost luxury experienceDriving a Maserati gives you the opportunity to enjoy the very best of experiences thanks to the comprehensive range of services and accessories available to the customer.Starting from March 2025, the Brand offers its customers the opportunity to combine multiple service contacts into a single shopping experience known as “Bundle”2, making it possible to take advantage of everything they need with an all-encompassing experience and at a more competitive price than purchasing each service individually. The service contracts designed for the new Grecale 2025 range also include the Maserati Extended Warranty, with the same coverage as the contractual warranty for up to five years from the date of registration, with no mileage limits; Extra10, an option to extend the warranty on the car’s transmission components for up to ten years with no mileage limits, plus additional benefits on original spare parts and accessories; the Brake package, to benefit from a complete brake replacement service, designed to guarantee driving safety and exceptional performance; Pick-up & Delivery, a service at your favourite official dealership that takes care of picking up and returning the car to the customer’s address; the Courtesy Car service, to continue driving a Maserati even when your car is being worked on at the dealership. Finally, worth a mention is the Maintenance Premium programme, covering the former three services, and Maintenance 103, to extend coverage until the tenth service. Both of these include thorough checks, components and parts subject to wear and tear as indicated in the vehicle maintenance manual. Last but not least, there is no shortage of accessories to enhance the beauty and functionality of the SUV and accompany the driver in their “everyday exceptional” experience. Accessories for leisure, families and other requirements provide the option to choose functional and aesthetic details perfect for every experience or driving need, for children, bike/ski/snowboard racks and countless accessories for pets. The new Grecale has already set…

Dirty diesel still dominates, BEV market share down: When will UK Government give retrofit a chance?

Industry News

Images are for editorial use only. Retrofitting specialists BEDEO warn that the UK’s failure to support fleet electrification is locking in diesel dependency and jeopardising net-zero goals SMMT figures show UK demand for new vans shrunk for the fourth consecutive month, with just 318 BEV large vans (3.5-4.25t) sold and BEV equating to just 8.2 per cent market share The government fell nearly 50 per cent short of its 2024 Zero Emission Van (ZEV) mandate target, achieving just 5.7 per cent zero-emission van registrations instead of 10 per cent Battery-electric van sales are declining while diesel registrations surged by 10.5 per cent across the EU, proving current policies are failing to drive change Retrofitting is a proven, cost-effective way to slash emissions immediately, yet the UK Government refuses to back it, unlike France, which actively support conversion schemes With UK vans lasting an average of 9.8 years, diesel-powered vans will continue polluting beyond 2040 unless retrofitting is embraced as an urgent solution BEDEO is calling on policymakers to act now – fleet operators need real options, and BEDEO’s retrofit technology is ready to cut emissions and keep businesses moving today For more information, please visit: bedeo.tech Farnham, 16 April 2025:BEDEO, a leader in fleet electrification and retrofit technology, fears its warnings on the path to net-zero for the large van industry are falling on deaf ears as the latest report from The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA)1 shows that 90.5 per cent of all vans in Europe still run on diesel, with the UK having an even scarier penetration of 94 per cent. The UK fell short of its 2024 Zero Emission Van (ZEV) mandate, achieving just 5.7 per cent instead of the 10 per cent target2. It shows no sign of improving, as last month the UK experienced a decline in van sales for the fourth consecutive month. Despite the continued availability of the plug-in van grant, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for just 8.2 per cent of the market share in March 2025. While this represents a year-on-year increase, only 318 large BEV vans (3.5-4.25t) were sold during this period – a concerning figure considering the nation’s reliance on these vehicles. These market stats come directly from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), issued on Friday 4 April3. With vans responsible for 40 per cent4 of logistics emissions and 4.6 million on the roads5, BEDEO warns that declining electric van adoption and continued diesel reliance will stall emissions cuts. Despite this, the UK Government still blocks retrofitting existing vans with electric powertrains; a move BEDEO deems crucial for progress. “Van fleet operators need real options – not just the choice between new large electric vans or nothing. Retrofitting extends the lifespan of existing large vans, keeps businesses moving, and drastically reduces emissions without breaking the bank. Not to mention that it [retrofitting] does all this without impacting payload, which we know is a real problem for managers of large van fleets,” said Osman Boyner, Founder and CEO of BEDEO. “If we look at the average age of light commercial vehicles in the EU and UK – the oldest belonging to Greece at an impressive 21.1 years, and 9.8 in the UK (and rising)1 – we can surmise that the 2035 phase out of new fossil-fuelled vehicles won’t make much of a dent to carbon reductions if pre-existing vehicles using petrol and diesel continue to pollute for decades after the ban. In fact, this will continue well past 20406. “To put this into perspective, in 2024, van vehicle miles racked up 58.7 billion miles7, and in general, vans in the UK are responsible for 18 per cent8 of all vehicle miles. That’s a fair amount of greenhouse gases. It’s time for our UK Government to support real-world solutions instead of ignoring the practical challenges large van fleets face. I fear we’ll look back and wish we had taken action today, and looked at a viable solution that’s available today – retrofitting – and not ignoring its ability to decarbonise.” Despite the urgent need for change, government policy remains fixated on new vehicle sales rather than real-world solutions that would have an immediate impact. With 57 per cent of UK vans being purchased new5 and the remaining fleet continuing to rely on diesel, the lack of incentives for retrofitting is a major missed opportunity. France has already embraced retrofitting with government-backed incentives, proving that it is a viable and scalable option. Retrofitting can cost up to 50 per cent less than purchasing a new large battery-electric van9, prevents unnecessary vehicle scrappage, and cuts emissions immediately. Yet instead of supporting this proven solution, the UK Government’s approach continues to leave fleet operators with limited, costly alternatives. The recent 10.5 per cent year-on-year increase in diesel van registrations across the EU10 suggests that companies are rushing to secure diesel-powered vans before regulatory bans take effect, further entrenching diesel’s dominance, and locking in emissions for years to come. As government targets continue to be missed, BEDEO urges policymakers to take immediate action. The transition to sustainable transport cannot rely solely on new vehicle sales – it must include practical, scalable solutions that work for businesses today, like retrofitting. The industry needs action, not just ambition. Retrofitting is ready to bridge the gap, and policymakers must now play their part in making it a widespread reality. BEDEO remains committed to driving the conversation forward and working with businesses to make fleet electrification accessible and achievable today – not decades from now. – Ends – Notes to Editors 1 Vehicles on European Roads, January 2025 2 Vehicle licensing statistics, GOV.UK 3 UK demand for new vans shrinks for fourth month running 4 McKinsey & Company “Decarbonizing logistics: Charting the path ahead” 5 UK Van Driver Statistics 6 La Librairie: Etude Retrofit 7 Provisional road traffic estimates, Great Britain, GOV.UK 8 Transport and environment statistics, GOV.UK 9 BEDEO survey data 10 ACEA: New commercial vehicle registrations   About BEDEOBEDEO (formerly BD Auto) has…

2025 Mazda CX-30s drive from the Baltic to Arctic using sustainable fuel

Industry News

Images are for editorial use only. To test the new 140ps e-Skyactiv G engine, 12 Mazda CX-30s drove from Malmo to Tromso. All cars on the trip were powered by SUSTAIN 100 per cent biofuel with zero fossil fuel content. The Mazda UK Heritage Fleet has been powered by sustainable fuel from SUSTAIN since June 2023. As a demonstration of Mazda’s multi-solution approach to powertrains, 12 Mazda CX-30s drove over 1,300miles across Sweden, Finland and Norway – powered exclusively by sustainable fuel to highlight the potential it has to reduce greenhouse gas emissions when used as a replacement for fossil fuels. Leaving Malmo in Sweden on the cusp of the Baltic Sea, the CX-30s drove to Tromso in Norway over 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle – reaching the Norwegian Sea coastal town after a journey of 1,344 miles powered entirely by a 100-per cent biofuel from SUSTAIN. Recently introduced to the 2025 Mazda CX-30, the 140ps e-Skyactiv D 2.5-litre petrol engine features cylinder de-activation and is coupled to Mazda’s M Hybrid mild-hybrid system, improving fuel economy and emissions in real world tests over the outgoing 2.0-litre entry-point engine in the CX-30. The introduction of this well-established engine to the 2025 Mazda CX-30 and 2025 Mazda3 line-up is part of Mazda’s multi-solution approach to powertrains, where we continue to develop petrol and diesel engines as well as hybrids, plug-in-hybrids, mild-hybrids and battery electric vehicles. This engine development blended with electrification is a well-established example of Mazda’s powertrain innovation enhancing vehicle efficiency. This approach is well-suited to a compelling alternative to fossil fuels that is now gaining traction – offering a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, alongside efficient electrified combustion engines. The Baltic to Arctic drive is just one example of Mazda’s commitment to demonstrate the role sustainable fuel can play in the transition away from fossil fuel. Mazda UK has powered its Heritage Fleet with sustainable fuel since 2023, while the same year an MX-5 was the first car to complete a lap of a racing circuit in all four UK home nations while sustainably fuelled and last year a quartet of MX-5s became the first cars to drive from Land’s End to John O’ Groats using sustainable fuel. All of these activities took place using fuel from SUSTAIN and they demonstrated the role sustainable fuels can play in transitioning modern and classic cars away from fossil fuel. They also highlight how sustainable fuels could complement Mazda’s Multi-Solution approach to achieving climate neutrality. The CX-30s on this trip across Sweden, Finland and Norway to the top of Europe, were powered by a 100 per cent second-generation biofuel, manufactured by SUSTAIN. Made from sustainable components manufactured from agricultural waste that would not otherwise be used for animal or human consumption, these biofuels utilise the carbon that already exists in our atmosphere, captured by plants as they grow and then re-released in the internal combustion process. This contrasts with fossil fuels which release additional Co2 that is currently locked underground. For more information on SUSTAIN please see Editor’s Notes below.Averaging more than 40mpg across the drive, the 2025 Mazda CX-30 e-Skyactiv G cars required no modification to run on the sustainable fuel, again highlighting the flexible nature of this solution. Commenting on the drive, Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director, Mazda Motors UK, said: “at Mazda we will continue to develop the internal combustion engine to meet consumer demand in parallel with our battery electric development, as part of our multi-solution approach. In Japan we are researching and developing engines to run on biofuel as well as algae fuels and synthetic fuels, and in Europe we are a member of the e-fuel alliance”. Adding, “our drive to the very north of Europe demonstrates the capability of the Mazda CX-30 in extreme conditions and the benefits of the internal combustion engine and advanced biofuels. In total we will have saved approximately 317kg of CO2 per car on a 1300-mile journey by using SUSTAIN advanced biofuel”. David Richardson, Director at SUSTAIN, said: “working with Mazda on this drive from the Baltic to the Arctic on 100% sustainable biofuel is something we’re extremely proud of. Electric vehicles are increasing in numbers, but there are still many millions of combustion engine cars on our roads. Activities like this help show how easily we can reduce the emissions from those vehicles, promoting this option to the many people who still don’t know what sustainable fuels are or how they work. If we want to make the most of this technology, we need to raise awareness, address the misunderstandings and secure support from those in power to enable sustainable fuel production to be scaled up, which could happen relatively quickly. After all, there is no silver bullet solution to tackle the environmental impact of the automotive sector – it’s time we start using all the available technologies to give us the best chance to make a real difference.” – Ends – Notes for Editors SUSTAIN was launched by Coryton, part of the ASPEN Group, in 2021 as part of its mission to create a cleaner future. The pioneering brand focuses on developing fuels with sustainable components that contribute towards the push for net zero impact, without compromising on performance or engine protection. From biofuels to e-fuels, the SUSTAIN range uses a combination of the latest sustainable technologies as they mature. The fuels currently derive predominantly from second-generation biofuels manufactured from agricultural waste, such as straw, by-products or waste from crops which wouldn’t be used for consumption. This material utilises the carbon that already exists in our atmosphere, which the plants absorb as they grow, recycling it, rather than releasing additional CO2, as fossil fuels do. Through products such as SUSTAIN Racing and SUSTAIN Classic, SUSTAIN has already celebrated some fantastic milestones in the motoring industry and it plans to continue this success long into the future. Tested in the deserts of the Dakar Rally to the waters of Windermere, the fuels are designed to meet the performance…

Trafic, Estafette and Goelette, the first Renault Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) by Ampere

Industry News

Images are for editorial use only. The three new electric LCVs by Renault will be the first to feature the flexible, scalable architecture developed by Ampere around the SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) This innovative approach marks the start of a new era in the design, perception and use of LCVs Trafic, Estafette and Goelette will be presented on 29 April at the CV Show in Birmingham Spearheading a new generation of electric vehicles, Trafic, Estafette and Goelette overturn conventional cues in this segment to become the first brand vehicles featuring the flexible, scalable architecture developed by Ampere around the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). A NEW APPROACH TO VEHICLE DESIGNBefore now, vehicles were designed around a chassis and an ICE or electric powertrain. Manufacturers would then add on all the electronic features and pre-equipment packs required for the various functions and versions. This approach to vehicle design involved a huge number of ECUs – up to 80 per vehicle – with a limiting effect on performance and the integration of new features. Implementing an approach similar to the most powerful computers, Ampere has based its new SDV approach on a single platform with centralised software architecture and a connected, intelligent operating system to control, analyse and upgrade vehicle functions quickly and reliably. High-performance computers act as the vehicle’s brain, processing the data collected by the onboard sensors, and in particular by the driver aids (ADAS), powertrain, chassis control and multimedia/connectivity services. These computers can be upgraded with new functions to modernise the vehicle or extend its service life, using the car operating system or “CAR OS”, designed by Ampere. Designed and developed by Ampere engineers, this revolutionary approach redefines existing standards. It will be made available first to Trafic, Estafette and Goelette users. A VEHICLE CUSTOMISED FOR EVERY USERBusiness users will be able to upgrade their vehicle, just as they would their laptop or phone, adding new functions in real time throughout its service life. Personalised offers could be made available, reflecting the actual usage and driving habits of each individual. In this way, the experience could be enhanced for business users, with functions tailored to their activity and requirements: Vehicles with specific functions, such as ambulances, fire engines, police vehicles, refrigerated vehicles and other conversions, could include dedicated apps for unique, centralised operation of each component. A similar approach is implemented by openR link with convertor companion, an award-winning innovation available on Renault Master, but with the added intelligence of the SDV; Companies using their own operating system, to make deliveries for example, will be able to integrate their OS with the onboard multimedia system in order to send out information in real time (time, route, contacts, remarks, etc.) to delivery drivers on their rounds; Fleet users will be able to log in to their profile and access a personalised interface with their preferred vehicle settings and apps. GREATER SAFETYAlready available on existing vehicles, predictive maintenance will become even more precise with the infinitely greater computing capacity and intelligence of SDV architecture. This will make it possible to track the wear and tear of some parts in real time and to initiate remote diagnostics in order to plan for repairs or take direct corrective action where possible. This feature will be particularly useful for fleet managers, allowing them to optimise costs, uptime and vehicle availability. HIGHER VALUEBeing able to update software defined vehicles over the cloud will bring benefits not only in terms of the driving and onboard experience, but also in terms of vehicle value. In practical terms, this means that a vehicle that is three or four years old will lose less of its value, since it will have been enhanced with new functions. This means a higher residual value. This “anti-wrinkle” is particularly useful for LCVs. As well as having a far longer service life and are subject to more intensive use than passenger cars. Developed in partnership with Flexis and built in France at the Renault Sandouville plant, Trafic, Estafette and Goelette will be presented on 29 April 2025 at 9:00 am (UTC) at the CV Show in Birmingham.

From tractor to track: Goodwood Revival to celebrate Jim Clark’s life and career

Industry News

Images are for editorial use only. The incomparable Jim Clark – twice Formula 1 World Champion and winner of the 1965 Indy 500 – to be honoured at Goodwood Revival in a year which sees a number of significant anniversaries for the driver. Goodwood to gather cars representing the full breadth of his racing career, and be joined by family, friends, fellow drivers and team members for a special moment on Saturday. Goodwood Revival takes place Friday 12 – Sunday 14 September. Early bird tickets available at goodwood.com. Goodwood is honoured to announce that this year’s Revival will celebrate the extraordinary life and career of Jim Clark – the Scottish farmer who is widely regarded as the most naturally gifted driver of all time.  2025 marks the 60th anniversary of Clark’s greatest season – indeed, arguably the greatest season by any driver in history. As well as winning six Grands Prix en route to his second World Championship, he also became the first driver to win the Indy 500 in a rear-engined car, and the first to do so at an average speed of more than 150mph. He remains the only driver to win the F1 World Championship and Indy 500 in the same season. Not only that, but he won the Tasman Cup (a single-seater series in Australia and New Zealand, run during the European winter and contested by the leading F1 teams and drivers), the French and British Formula 2 Championships, and races in everything from touring cars to sports prototypes.   Alongside these achievements, Jim Clark also won the final Formula 1 race at Goodwood, on Easter Monday 1965. This Saturday (19 April) marks the 60th anniversary, to the day, of that race, during which Clark, in a Lotus 25, also shared the lap record of 1m20.4 with his fellow Scot Jackie Stewart, in a BRM P261. Their joint time was never beaten, before the circuit closed to racing in July 1966, and so stands in perpetuity as the classic Goodwood lap record. Remarkably, on the same day he won the Sunday Mirror Trophy Formula 1 race, Clark also won the St Marys Trophy (a round of the British Saloon Car Championship) in a Lotus Cortina, and the Lavant Cup sports prototype race in a Lotus 30! His driving that day epitomised the virtuosity and versatility he exhibited across the whole season. Jim Clark, who tragically died in an accident during a Formula 2 race at Hockenheim on 7 April 1968, ended his career with a then-record 25 victories and 33 pole positions from just 72 Grands Prix. Even now, six decades later, he still holds the record for the most ‘Grand Slams’ in Formula 1, when a driver takes pole position, victory, fastest lap, and leads every lap. Clark’s record of eight is two more than his nearest rival, Lewis Hamilton, whose score of six has come from 361 races! Despite his extraordinary achievements as a driver, Jim Clark remained a humble farmer at heart, and liked nothing more than spending time on his farm, Edington Mains, near the village of Chirnside in the Scottish Borders, where he grew up. Even as he was winning World Championships and the Indy 500, and appearing on the cover of Time Magazine (as he did after his Indy win in 1965), he would return to Edington between races. We look forward to celebrating all aspects of the remarkable achievements and legacy of Jim Clark – “farmer and world champion motor racing driver”, as the inscription on his gravestone reads – which, to this day, remain at the heart of motorsport at Goodwood. Sir Jackie Stewart, three-time World Champion and joint Goodwood lap record holder said: “Jim Clark was not only a first-class racer, but he was a first-class friend.  Jimmy and I enjoyed so much camaraderie both on and off the track and I am personally so pleased that Goodwood are choosing to celebrate this great man in this way”.  The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: “It’s such a privilege to celebrate Jim Clark at the Goodwood Revival this year. His achievements in 1965 are the stuff of legend, including uniquely winning the Formula 1 World Championship and Indy 500 in the same season. I vividly remember watching him win the final F1 race at Goodwood, on Easter Monday 1965, in which he and Jackie Stewart set the ultimate Goodwood lap record. Having such strong links to Goodwood, and in a year that marks several significant anniversaries, we are hugely proud to be paying tribute to Jim Clark – considered by some to be the greatest driver of all time– over the Revival weekend.” Doug Niven, Jim Clark’s cousin, and a family trustee of the Jim Clark Trust, said: “The Jim Clark Trust is delighted to support the Jim Clark tribute at the Goodwood Revival in September. Along with my fellow family trustee Ian Calder (Jim’s nephew) I attended the Revival in 2013, when the Duke of Richmond formally launched the Jim Clark Trust – of which he is still a patron. 1965 was such a special year for Jim, and we look forward to celebrating his life and career at Goodwood in September, as well as at our own event, at Duns Castle on 28-29 June.” Taking place across the weekend, the tribute to Jim Clark joins the previously announced all-sustainable fuel race list, VW Type 2 Split Screen track opening parade, Alfa Romeo celebration and the opportunity to see Jenson Button go head-to-head in the RAC TT.
