James King, a legendary figure in the world of motorsports, left an indelible mark on the racing circuit. Known for his exceptional skills and unwavering determination, he was a force to be reckoned with. From the early days of his career, driving the Brabham-Climax BT17 (CM33 9124) and later the Chevron Ford B17 (CJ12 1122), James showcased his talent and passion for speed. Throughout his illustrious journey, James continued to push boundaries and set new records. Whether it was behind the wheel of the Chevron Ford B17 (CJ10 5651) or the Brabham-Climax BT7 (CJ9 8017), he consistently displayed unmatched skill and precision. His performances were nothing short of awe-inspiring. But even great men have their moments of adversity. In one fateful race captured by Robert H. Vance's poignant artwork "The Great Man Has Fallen" in 1856, James faced a setback that tested his resilience like never before. However, true to his character, he rose above this defeat with renewed determination. As time went on, James continued to leave spectators spellbound with every race he participated in. The Chevron Ford B17 (CM27 3256) became another vehicle through which he showcased his brilliance on the track. With each lap completed in record time aboard this machine or any other car under him like Brabham Climax BT7 (CM25 6208), James proved why he was considered one of racing's greatest icons. His legacy lives on as fans reminisce about those unforgettable moments when they witnessed James King dominate races with sheer finesse and unparalleled expertise behind the wheel. Though no longer physically present among us today, his name remains etched in history as a symbol of excellence within motorsports circles worldwide.
