Jim Clark had carried his form from Belgium with him into France, with the Team Lotus racer snatching pole position as a strike in Italy meant Ferrari could not take part. At the start, the Scot lost the lead to rival Graham Hill, with the two remaining in the lead for much of the race, until Hill was hit by a back marker. Clark then led for three laps before succumbing to suspension damage, handing the lead back to Hill until he dropped out with a misfire with a handful of laps to go. Other big names among the leaders, such as Bruce McLaren and Jack Brabham had also dropped down the order due to mechanical issues early on.

  • Jim Clark had carried his form from Belgium with him into France, with the Team Lotus racer snatching pole position as a strike in Italy meant Ferrari could not take part. At the start, the Scot lost the lead to rival Graham Hill, with the two remaining in the lead for much of the race, until Hill was hit by a back marker. Clark then led for three laps before succumbing to suspension damage, handing the lead back to Hill until he dropped out with a misfire with a handful of laps to go. Other big names among the leaders, such as Bruce McLaren and Jack Brabham had also dropped down the order due to mechanical issues early on. With Hill out, it was a shock for many to see American racer Dan Gurney sweep home to victory for the first time in his career, in a Porsche that had only seen success in 1000 km races. John Surtees had looked likely to snatch the victory away in the closing stages, but the ever reliable Lola-Climax developed a rare issue and dropped away, leaving Gurney to end the race a lap clear of Tony Maggs. The podium would be completed by Richie Ginther, while McLaren recovered to take fourth ahead of Surtees and Carel Godin de Beaufort.
