But before that, they saw Jet 1, the world’s first gas-turbine car, leading a demonstration-run by these revolutionary Rovers. Two hundred and forty six miles - 82 laps. Jim Clark’s Lotus-Climax out in front. Dan Gurney, driving a Brabham-Climax was on his tail until engine trouble caught up with him. The battle for second position was between Graham Hill in a BRM fighting it out with John Surtees’ Ferrari. Jim Clark still showing real championship form.
