The race, which would be the first Canadian Grand Prix to be staged as part of the World Championship, would be remembered for a qualifying record and a decisive blow in the Intercontinental Cup for Manufacturers. Qualifying/practice had seen a dominant display from Team Lotus, where Jim Clark and Graham Hill put their horsepower advantage to good use. It was also a record pole for Clark, as the Scot claimed his thirtieth career pole start to go ahead of Juan Manuel Fangio on the all time list. The race would start in the rain, with Clark launching into the lead while Denny Hulme slotted into second ahead of Hill. A fairly orderly first few laps then saw both Clark and Hill lose out, Hulme taking the lead while Jack Brabham claimed third as the Brabham-Repcos looked the stronger package. Bruce McLaren then became the source of entertainment, spinning down from fifth in his new McLaren M5A before battling back to take second away from Clark on lap 22. Yet, when the circuit began to dry, the New Zealander's pace began to fade so the Scot and the Australian went ahead. The circuit was almost dry when Clark retook the lead on lap 58, but the clouds once again burst on the circuit as he did so. The green-yellow Lotus would continue to lead for ten laps until an ignition failure put him out of the race completely. As Clark's race came to an end, Brabham swept past teammate Hulme for what then became the lead, with the two Antipodeans orbiting to the end to take a one-two, and earn the Anglo-Aussie effort a second Intercontinental Cup for Manufacturers triumph. Gurney survived well to claim third, taking Hill in the closing stages, while Mike Spence and Chris Amon beat McLaren to the final points.
