Their physical battle ended on the twentieth lap with Clark in the lead, before both exchanged record setting laps to pull further and further ahead. They lapped the entire field before the ninetieth lap, with the two only easing off once Bruce McLaren, running in third, had also been put a lap behind. McLaren's race did end with the New Zealander in third, but only after he had dispatched of Richie Ginther and Dan Gurney, with the two Americans hitting mechanical issues before the end. Jack Brabham claimed an incredible fourth place in the closing stages in his own car, the new Brabham BT3, with Gurney claiming fifth. Masten Gregory claimed the final point in sixth, his last point finish of his career, as Clark and Hill headed to South Africa with the winner set to be declared World Champion.
