At the 3rd race of the season Team Lotus inveiled the new Ford-sponsored Cosworth engine which later became one of the best racing engines of all time, winning 155 F1 races, Le Mans and Indianapolis. Although Jim Clark won 4 races in a fast Lotus 49, Denny Hulme (Brabham) took the title with only 2 wins and no pole positions at all, but with better consistency. At Monza Jim Clark confirmed his status as one of the all time greats. He suffered a puncture, pitted to replace a tyre, made up a lap to retake the lead, but ran out of fuel on the very last lap.
