[Rod Grimwood]

A fateful start ended the chances of Jim Clark (2.5 Lotus-Climax), Frank Gardner (2.5 Brabham-Climax) and Andrew Buchanan (2.5 Brabham-Climax) when Clark stripped first gear at flagfull and Buchanan in the third row iniataed a telescopic collison which eliminated himself and Gardner. Clark, push started, chased for six laps then retired with a broken gearbox.

Amid a cloud of rubber from spinning tyres Jim Clarks upraised arm signalled that all was not well in the Lotus at the start.

Frank Gardners broken Brabham was wheeled to the side as lotus mechanics give Clark a push-start and officials cluster around Andrew Buchanans battered Brabham
