Jackie's early involvement with cars was in the family business, Dumbuck Garage, in Milton, where he worked as an apprentice mechanic. Apprenticeship is a system of Training a new generation of practitioners of a skill A mechanic is a person who uses Tools to repair things (generally machinery or works to keep things operating properly His family were Jaguar dealers and had built up a successful practice. Jaguar Cars Limited is a luxury car manufacturer based in Coventry, England, now operated as part of the Jaguar Land Rover business Jackie's father had been an amateur[4] motorcycle racer, and Jackie's brother Jimmy was a racing driver with a growing local reputation. Motorcycle sport is a broad field that encompasses all Sporting aspects of Motorcycling. James Stewart ( March 6 1931 &ndash January 3 2008) was a British racing driver from Scotland who participated in a single Jimmy drove for Ecurie Ecosse and competed in the 1953 British Grand Prix, until he went off at Copse Corner in the wet. Ecurie Ecosse was a motor racing team from Scotland. Founded in 1952 by Edinburgh businessman and racing driver David Murray and mechanic Wilkie Wilkinson The 1953 British Grand Prix was a Formula Two race held on 18 July 1953 at Silverstone Circuit. It was only natural Jackie would soon become involved in motor racing.

After his brother was injured in a crash at Le Mans, the sport was discouraged by their parents and Jackie took up shooting. Le Mans (ləmɑ̃ in French) is a city in France, located on the Sarthe River. In skeet shooting Stewart made a name for himself, only just missing the team for the 1960 Summer Olympics. Skeet shooting is one of the three major types of competitive shotgun shooting at targets (the others are Trap shooting and Sporting clays) The 1960 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVII Olympiad, was an International Multi-sport event held in Rome, Italy (He chose racing over it in 1964. )[4]

He took up an offer from Barry Filer, a customer of his family business, to test in a number of his cars at Oulton Park. Oulton Park Circuit is a Motor racing Track in the small village of Little Budworth, Cheshire, England. For 1961, Filer provided a Marcos, in which Stewart scored four wins, and competed once in Filer's Aston DB4GT. Marcos was a British Sports car manufacturer. History The company was founded in Luton Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is a British manufacturer of luxury performance cars, whose headquarters are at Gaydon, England. DB4 GT See also Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato The DB4 GT was a special lightweight high-performance version of the DB4 In 1962, to decide if he was ready to turn pro, tested an E-type at Oulton Park, matching Roy Salvadori's times in a similar car the year before.

[5] He won two races, his first in England, in the E-type, and David Murray of Ecurie Ecosse offered him a ride in the Tojeiro EE Mk2, then their Cooper T49, in which he won at Goodwood. David Murray ( December 28, 1909, in Edinburgh – April 5, 1973, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain) was a Ecurie Ecosse was a motor racing team from Scotland. Founded in 1952 by Edinburgh businessman and racing driver David Murray and mechanic Wilkie Wilkinson The Cooper Car Company was founded in 1946 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper. For 1963, he earned fourteen wins, a second, and two thirds, with just six retirements. [5]

In 1964, he again signed with Ecurie Ecosse. More important, Ken Tyrrell, then running the Formula Junior team for Cooper, heard of the young Scotsman from Goodwood's[5] track manager and called up Jimmy Stewart to see if his younger brother was interested in a tryout. Ken Tyrrell ( May 3, 1924 &ndash August 25 2001) was a British Auto racing driver and Formula Junior is a Formula racing class first adopted in October 1958 by the CSI ( International Sporting Commission, the part of the FIA Jackie came down for the test at Goodwood, taking over a new, and very competitive, Formula Three T72-BMC[5] Bruce McLaren was testing. Formula Three, also called Formula 3 or F3, is a class of open-wheel formula racing. Early life As an eleven year old McLaren contracted a disease in his hip which left his left leg shorter than the right Soon Stewart was besting McLaren's times, causing McLaren to return to the track for some quicker laps. Again, Stewart was quicker, and Tyrrell offered Stewart a spot on the team. This would be the beginning of a great partnership that would see them reach the pinnacle of the sport.

Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit is a Motor racing circuit in Norfolk, England. [5] Within days, he was offered a Formula One ride with Cooper, but declined, preferring to gain experience under Tyrrell; he failed to win just two races (one to clutch failure, one to a spin) in becoming F3 champion. [5]

After running John Coombs' E-type and practising in a Ferrari at Le Mans, he took a trial in an F1 Lotus 33-Climax, in which he impressed Colin Chapman and Jim Clark[5] (who, needless to say, were not easily impressed); Stewart again refused a ride in F1, but went instead to the Lotus Formula Two team.

1966 saw him almost win the Indianapolis 500 on his first attempt, in John Meecom's Lola T90-Ford,[6] only to be denied by a broken scavenge pump while leading by over a lap with eight laps to go; however, Stewart's performance, having had the race fully in hand and sidelined only by mechanical failure, won him Rookie of the Year honours, the only occasion to date in race history a rookie winner (Hill, team mate at Indianapolis as well, and final leader after Stewart) was deemed surpassed in performance by another rookie.

Also, in 1966, a crash triggered his fight for improved safety in racing. Year 1966 ( MCMLXVI) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the 1966 Gregorian calendar. On lap one of the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, when sudden rain caused many crashes, he found himself trapped in his overturned[6] BRM, getting soaked by leaking fuel.

Also, noticing the long and slow transport to a hospital, he brought his own doctor to future races, while the BRM supplied a medical truck for the benefit of all. It was a poor year all around; the BRMs were notoriously unreliable, although Stewart did win the Monaco Grand Prix. The 1966 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at the Circuit de Monaco on May 22, 1966. Stewart had some success in other forms of racing during the year, winning the 1966 Tasman Series and the 1966 Rothmans 12 Hour International Sports Car Race.

Racing Safety Advocate

During Stewart's F1 career, the chances of an F1 driver who raced for five years being killed in a crash were two out of three. [7]

At Spa-Francorchamps in 1966, he ran off the track while driving 165 mph in heavy rain, and crashed into a telephone pole and a shed before coming to rest in a farmer's outbuilding. His steering column pinned his leg, while ruptured fuel tanks emptied their contents into the cockpit. There were no track crews to extricate him, nor were proper tools available. There were no doctors or medical facilities at the track, and Stewart was put in the bed of a pickup truck, remaining there until an ambulance finally arrived. He was first taken to the track's First Aid center, where he waited on a stretcher, which was placed on a floor strewn with cigarette butts and other garbage. Finally, another ambulance crew picked him up, but the ambulance driver got lost driving to a hospital in Liége. Ultimately, a private jet flew Stewart back to the UK for proper treatment. It has been well documented that without the help of the United Kingdom Air Ambulance, Stewart may well have died at the track.

After his crash at Spa, Stewart became an outspoken advocate for auto racing safety. Later, he explained, "If I have any legacy to leave the sport I hope it will be seen to be an area of safety because when I arrived in Grand Prix racing so-called precautions and safety measures were diabolical. "[8].

Stewart continued, commenting on his crash at Spa:

"I lay trapped in the car for twenty-five minutes, unable to be moved. Graham and Bob Bondurant got me out using the spanners from a spectator's toolkit. Norman Graham Hill ( February 15, 1929 – November 29, 1975) was a British racing driver and two-time Formula One World Robert Bondurant (born 27 April 1933 in Evanston, Illinois) is an American former Racecar driver who raced for the There were no doctors and there was nowhere to put me. They in fact put me in the back of a van. Eventually an ambulance took me to a first aid spot near the control tower and I was left on a stretcher, on the floor, surrounded by cigarette ends. I was put into an ambulance with a police escort and the police escort lost the ambulance, and the ambulance didn't know how to get to Liège. At the time they thought I had a spinal injury. As it turned out, I wasn't seriously injured, but they didn't know that. "
"I realized that if this was the best we had there was something sadly wrong: things wrong with the race track, the cars, the medical side, the fire-fighting, and the emergency crews. There were also grass banks that were launch pads, things you went straight into, trees that were unprotected and so on. Young people today just wouldn't understand it. It was ridiculous. "

In response, Stewart campaigned with Louis Stanley (BRM team boss) for improved emergency services and better safety barriers around race tracks. "We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits, and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous. "[9] As a stop-gap measure, Stewart hired a private doctor to be at all his races, and taped a spanner to the steering shaft of his BRM in case it would be needed again. Stewart pressed for mandatory seat belt usage and full-face helmets for drivers, and today a race without those items is unthinkable. Likewise, he pressed track owners to modernize their track, including organizing driver boycotts of races at Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring, until barriers, run-off areas, fire crews, and medical facilities were improved.

Stewart's work was not appreciated by track owners, race organizers, some drivers, and members of the press. "I would have been a much more popular World Champion if I had always said what people wanted to hear. I might have been dead, but definitely more popular. "[9] However, his race wins, combined with his popularity with the public and his business savvy, prevented his message from being silenced. Certainly, after his victory in the 1968 German GP at the 187-corner Nordschleife -- in a torrential rain, driving with a broken wrist, winning by more than four minutes -- no one dared question his bravery as Stewart pushed for better safety standards. The Nürburgring, known as simply " The Ring " by enthusiasts is a Motorsport Race track in Nürburg, Germany.

Today, Stewart's legacy as a safety advocate in auto racing is as great as his legacy as a race winner.
