    British Grand Prix (also designated as the European Grand Prix) at Brands Hatch on 11th July 1964.

    00:23 - Dan Gurney (Brabham No.6).
    00:39 - John Surtees (Ferrari No.7) checking goggles.
    00:46 - Graham Hill (BRM No.3).
    00:50 - Jack Brabham (Brabham No.5).
    01:17 - Jim Clark (Lotus No.1) with Colin Chapman alongside.
    01:29 - Phil Hill (Cooper No.10).

    (the in-car shots of/from Clark's car are not from the race)

    The result was 1st- Clark, 2nd - Hill, 3rd - Surtees.
