...Prix over the tortuous (172 curves) Nurburgring circuit in the Eifel mountains, in 2 hr. 12 min. 4.8 sec., to average 96.56 m.p.h. and break the record he set last year. Surtees played it cozy for the first few laps, letting the field sort itself out, then gunned his Ferrari into the lead for good and finished 76 sec. ahead of Fellow Briton Graham Hill. Bad luck dogged Scotland's Jim Clark, the reigning world champion, who failed to finish because of a burned valve. Point standings for the 1964 championship after six races: Hill 32, Clark 30, Surtees...
Within seconds, the field was cut by more than one-third, and $140,000 worth of machinery was reduced mostly to junk. On the long straight, Italy's Lorenzo Bandini hit a puddle, skidded and lost control; trying to dodge his wildly spinning Ferrari, four other racers piled up. StiJl another ran off the track and wrapped his car around a pole; a seventh scattered the hay bales on a bend. Miraculously, none of the drivers was seriously injured...

After four sputtering laps, a mechanic waved a message board that read "Surt -20." With 16 laps to go, Ferrari's John Surtees already had a 20-sec. lead...
...ninth lap, Clark was only a car length behind. Seconds later, he had the lead. The rain had stopped and the track was drying now. Surtees wrung a few more r.p.m. from his Ferrari, bypassed Clark and opened a 3-sec. gap. Unable to beat Surtees on the straights, Clark fell in behind the faster Ferrari, waiting for opportunity to knock again. None came, so Clark made his own-with an astonishing maneuver that only a handful of drivers would dare attempt: he simply slid around Surtees on the outside of a hairpin turn...
...Angie Dickinson. Playing the tawny, amoral triplecrossing swinger who lures Cassavetes from auto racing to a life of crime, Angie isn't a subtle actress. But she somehow suggests to every male in the audience that this is a girl more inviting, and more dangerous, than a custom Ferrari idling on a fast track...
