United States Grand Prix 1967 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Jim Clark claimed his third victory of the season at Watkins Glen, leading home Graham Hill for a Lotus-Ford one-two finish. The Scottish champion's commanding performance at the scenic New York circuit demonstrated the Lotus 49's superiority when reliability cooperated, with both cars showcasing the Cosworth DFV's competitive advantage. Clark's victory came too late to affect the championship but proved he remained Formula 1's fastest driver.

Hill's second place provided Team Lotus with their first one-two finish of the season, while Denny Hulme secured the championship with third place. Clark's late-season form suggested what might have been possible with better reliability, though mechanical failures had destroyed his title defense. The victory at Watkins Glen demonstrated that Lotus possessed the fastest package, even if consistency eluded them.
