The Jim Clark Trust
In his spare time Ben acts as Chairman and Secretary to The Jim Clark Trust with plans for a new museum by 2018 to celebrate the life and inspiration of the double F1 Champion and Indy 500 Winner. Jim Clark is widely regarded around the world as one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. The Trust is supported by Patrons including Sir Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard, Dario Franchitti, Allan McNish, Lord March and Clive Chapman. The museum project in Jim Clark’s home town of Duns is supported by Scottish Borders Council and a range of partners.
