German Grand Prix 1965 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Jim Clark secured his sixth victory of the season with a masterful performance at the Nürburgring, conquering the fearsome Nordschleife to effectively clinch his second World Championship. The Scottish ace's dominance on the treacherous 14-mile circuit showcased his supreme car control and racecraft, navigating the Green Hell's 170-plus corners with precision and speed that left his rivals trailing. Clark's ability to maintain concentration and pace over the physically demanding race highlighted why he stood alone at the pinnacle of motorsport.

Graham Hill finished second for BRM ahead of Dan Gurney's Brabham-Climax, with both drivers unable to challenge Clark's superiority. The victory gave Clark an insurmountable championship lead with three races remaining, securing his second title in dominant fashion. Clark's performance at the Nürburgring represented the peak of 1960s Grand Prix racing, combining a supremely talented driver with technical excellence from Colin Chapman's Lotus team. The championship triumph confirmed Clark as the defining driver of his era.
