Graham Hill (Lotus 49T) leads the pack over the bridge, during the 1968 Australian Grand Prix held at Sandown Park (picture-above). It was the 33rd Australian Grand Prix and was also round seven of the 1968 Tasman Series.
In his last drive in an Australian Grand Prix, Jack Brabham started the race from pole position, but retired with an engine failure.
Jim Clark, driving a Lotus 49T, won by 0.1 seconds from Chris Amon (Dino 246), with whom he battled for the lead throughout the race. Sadly, it proved to be the last major victory for the Scotsman (picture-below). Graham Hill finished third.
