Any people out there, who are experts in the field of motorsports?
The story is set in London, in 1969. One of my characters is a teenage boy, who is totally obsessed with motorsports and formula one racing, and I have to find out who would most likely be his idol? (Apparently, in the early sixties a guy named Jimmy Clark was incredibly popular, but the was killed in 1968, so I guess it's unlikely, that he's still the declared hero of this boy.)
I already googled and found a lot of statistics, but I'm not sure if the most successful sport stars are always the most popular, too.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
edit: fixed the misspelling of Jimmy Clark's name and his year of death. Sorry.
edit²: mystery solved I guess, thank you so much for the input!
Popular formula one racing drivers in the late 1960ies?
