14th June 1964: The Forest that Favoured Clark
Fuel tanks ran dry. Leaders dropped like flies. And through the chaos of Spa-Francorchamps in 1964, one man kept his cool.
🎙️ In Episode 14, we relive the Belgian Grand Prix of June 14, 1964, where Jim Clark claimed victory in the most unpredictable of circumstances — while others faltered in the forests of the Ardennes.
Plus: we revisit the 1992 Canadian Grand Prix, and celebrate the quiet brilliance of Lotus development driver John Miles, born on this day.
