Dutch GP, 1964
A fortnight after Graham Hill's victory in the opening round of the World Championship in Monaco, the Formula 1 teams gathered at Zandvoort. The BRP team was missing because it had run short of cars but otherwise the field was much as before although Rob Walker had a Brabham for Jo Bonnier. After qualifying Dan Gurney was on pole position in his factory Brabham, ahead of Jim Clark's Lotus and Graham Hill's BRM. On the second row of the 3-2-3 grid were the Ferrari of John Surtees and Bruce McLaren's Cooper with Peter Arundell (Team Lotus), Jack Brabham (Brabham) and Ritchie Ginther (BRM) on row three. Tony Maggs overturned his Scuderia Centro Sud BRM in practice but was unhurt, although he failed to make the start because the car was too badly damaged.
At the start Clark managed to squeeze into the lead, with G Hill and Gurney giving chase and the fast-starting Arundell in fourth. Surtees was the man on the move in the early part of the race as he overtook Arundell, Gurney and Hill but the 22nd lap. Gurney dropped out soon afterwards with a broken steering wheel. G Hill's BRM began to misfire and he gradually dropped back and was overtaken by Arundell on lap 47. Clark won by nearly a minute with Surtees second and Arundell a lap behind.
