The race was held in extremely wet and foggy conditions, and British driver Jackie Stewart, racing with a broken wrist, won the race by a margin of four minutes in what is widely considered to be one of the greatest victories in the history of Formula One.
The race is also notable for Dan Gurney's choice of a full face helmet, making him the first driver to do so in Grand Prix racing.
