Well-known marques from the past, such as Lotus, Ford, Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Porsche, roared their engines. The popular event is affectionately known as the "Jim Clark Revival." This year would have been the 90th birthday of the Scotsman, considered as the greatest Formula One talent of the 1960s.
