led off the grid from pole position and maintained that position for the first 11 laps and was 20 seconds ahead of
when he had to come into the pits for a plug change, which cost him two minutes. Stewart built up a comfortable lead, helped even further when Gurney had to come into the pits with fuel pressure problems, losing another 20 seconds. However, it was now Stewart's time for mechanical problems as his gearshift was faltering. Gurney set a new lap record to catch and pass him 8 laps from the end and gain a maiden victory for the beautiful magnesium and titanium
car. The light weight and advanced aerodynamics of the car made it very fast, and Gurney shattered
' record Grand Prix average of 143mph (set some 8 years earlier) on his way to victory. The Eagle was timed at 196 mph on the straightaway, an extraordinary speed for a car with an engine producing (at that time) something less than 400 h.p.
Mike Parkes had a horrendous crash on the first lap at the fast La Carriere bends and broke both legs. He never raced in Formula One again.
