[1] By 1975 there were four Roger Clark Cars Ltd. garages in the Leicester area, retailing under franchise agreements Alfa Romeo, Ford, Jensen, Lotus, Renault and Porsche.

[3] Clark passed his driving test in 1956, and immediately joined the Leicester Car Club,[3] where he met Jim Porter, who was his co-driver for 20 years.

[1] Clark won twice, in 1972 with Tony Mason, and then again - with the cars now sponsored by Cossack Hairspray,[3] and hence coloured red - in 1976 with Stuart Pegg when it was part of the WRC, a feat that would not be emulated for over fifteen years.

[1] In 1973, Clark led the East African Safari Rally by over an hour, when forced to retire at the halfway stage with a disintegrating car.

[3] As part of his later extended works-deal with Ford, Clark was contracted and paid as a development driver, for which he was asked to rally unusual models.

The 4WD V6-powered cars were initially successful against their 2WD opponents, but reliability issues and problems with drivability meant Ford dropped the Capri programme.

[3] In 1975 Clark and Porter were recipients of the Segrave Trophy, bestowed upon "the Briton who accomplishes the most outstanding demonstration of the possibilities of transport by land, sea, air, or water."

[1] Clark remained influential in rallying and motorsport through committee membership of the British Racing Drivers Club,[2] through which he helped to develop a new Rallysprint circuit at Silverstone in 1997.

[1] With all the businesses closed in the early 1990s due to the hard economic down turn, even with poor health in the mid-1990s he set-up "Roger Clark Motor Sport", which now run by his son Matt still prepares cars for others to use in rallying.

[1] His other son Olly Clark has been a competitor in the Time Attack UK series (winning the championship in 2008), Network Q Rally of Great Britain and the FIA Cup for Drivers of Production Cars.
