Race Summary

Jim Clark mastered the fearsome Spa-Francorchamps circuit to claim his second consecutive victory, demonstrating complete dominance over the legendary Belgian track's high-speed challenges. The Scottish ace's performance on the old 14-kilometer layout showcased his supreme car control and bravery, pulling away from the field to win by a comfortable margin. Clark's ability to maintain peak performance over the demanding circuit's 32 laps highlighted why he was considered the greatest driver of his generation.

Bruce McLaren secured second place for Cooper-Climax ahead of Jack Brabham, with both former champions demonstrating consistent form despite no longer having the fastest machinery. Clark's third victory from the opening five races established him as the championship favorite, though reliability concerns would soon undermine his title challenge. The race at Spa, always dangerous, fortunately passed without serious incident despite the circuit's notorious reputation for claiming drivers' lives.
