Motor Racing Creed

I found this in my father's stuff the other day - a sort of substitute Lord's Prayer, and obviously 50s/60s type era, but still good:

I believe in Chapman, the Constructor Almighty, and in Jim Clark, his only World Champion so far, who was conceived by the BRDC, born at Indianapolis, suffered under officialdom at Zandvoort, was scruitineered, passed and labelled.

The third day he rose again from the grid, and sitteth on the inside of Abbey.  From thence he will come to judge the BRMs and the Coopers.

I believe in oil pressure, the Holy Coventry Climax, the Communion of Gears, the forgiveness of spins, the resurrection of valve gear, for Lola and McLaren.

Ferrari!

I don't know its provenance, and I don't agree with Ferrari replacing "Amen", but then Williams weren't around then!
