[edit] Race report
Another wet track provided a duel between Jack Brabham and John Surtees for the whole race. It was not until the Cooper's clutch failed two laps from the end that the Australian's win was guaranteed. Jim Clark despite qualifying on pole made a mistake and spun into a ditch after using the wrong tyres. In a far more serious crash, Jacky Ickx and John Taylor crashed, the Briton dying later from his burns.
