Stewart three-wheeling through Bottom Bend during the non-championship saloon car race supporting the 1964 British GP at Brands Hatch. He was running second to the sister works Lotus Cortina of Sir John Whitmore, but a mistake at Clearways dropped him to third, behind Jack Sears (Willment Cortina). The Scot nonetheless came away with fastest lap – a new class record

Helen Stewart looks on at Silverstone in 1964, while her husband takes part in a midweek test. It was a pivotal campaign for Stewart. In his first full year as a single-seater driver he won an F3 title and made his F1 debut, deputising in the Rand GP for Lotus driver Jim Clark… who had been injured in a snowball fight!
Stewart threads his way through the Nouveau Monde hairpin at Rouen, en route to his aggregate F3 victory in 1964. He would later go on to score three victories in the French Grand Prix itself, two of them at Charade and one at Paul Ricard
