I would like to find out the Story behind these 2 pics that are in a book the (Guinness guide to f1 ) by Jose Rosinski . The year is 1963 and on page 70 it has this picture of Jim in trouble with the Dutch police .
Page 68 says( At zandzoort he repeated the extraordinary performance he gave at SPA....)

According to Automobile-Year 1963-1964, Clark did not have the correct pass on him, hence the cop heavying him, apparently tearing his jacket and breaking his goggles in the process "despite his willingness to get the correct armband".

I Guess those dutch police were not F1 fans.Fancy treating our Scottish Hero like that.They were probably from the 2 wheel push bike force . He should have got Chuckey Chapman ,he would have sorted them out quick smart.

Ah, well ... Chunky himself had a disagreement with the constabulary at the Dutch Grand Prix on another occasion ...

Those policemen were very good in arresting drivers and holding people back to prevent saving a drivers life (1973).
I got the same experience back in 1976 when a was a little boy climbing over the fence at Scheivlak sitting in the grass and soon got the company of a police dog......

I 'd remember that back in 1981 a Williams mechanic was arrested at Zandvoort.
What with these Dutch Police this list is getting longer ....... must be something in them there
