British Grand Prix 1964 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Jim Clark delivered a masterful performance at Brands Hatch to claim his fourth victory of the season, demonstrating complete dominance on the Kent circuit's challenging layout. The Scottish champion controlled the British Grand Prix from start to finish, pulling away from Graham Hill and John Surtees to take a commanding win before his home crowd. Clark's victory re-established him as the championship favorite and showcased the Lotus 25's superiority when reliability cooperated with raw speed.

Hill's second place kept him in striking distance of the championship lead, while Surtees' consistent podium finish maintained Ferrari's challenge. The race at Brands Hatch, making its debut as a British Grand Prix venue, provided a spectacular showcase for Formula 1 with its amphitheater layout allowing excellent spectator viewing. Clark's dominance suggested he was cruising toward a second consecutive title, though fate would intervene cruelly in the races ahead to deny him that achievement.
