1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair
In August 1965, at the beginning of the 1965-66 season (fourteen months after the end of the 1963-64 season) FK Željezničar goalkeeper Ranko Planinić came forward with information alleging match-fixing during the 1963-64 season. He claimed his club threw the matches against Hajduk Split and NK Trešnjevka towards the end of the season in order to help those two relegation-threatened teams avoid the drop.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair
Specifically, Planinić claimed that the match played on 31 May 1964 in Split when Hajduk beat Željezničar 4-0 was fixed, as well as the match on 7 June 1964 in Sarajevo when Željezničar and Trešnjevka tied 3-3. He was in Željezničar's goal in both matches. Planinić made the information public fourteen months later in August 1965 by approaching a Večernje novine journalist Alija Resulović who in turn took Planinić's testimony in form of an interview that was published by the paper with circulation of 100,000 copies at the time.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair
In his 2006 book Ona vremena, Resulović claims to have contacted FK Željezničar's president Nusret Mahić right before submitting the piece for publishing, informing him of Planinić's allegations, seeking comment, and even offering to sit on the information if he (Mahić) thinks it necessary. Resulović further claims that Mahić's response was: "Publish it all! It's all a lie that Planinić concocted as revenge for being fined for an incident he caused at a training session".


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair
The explosive testimony erupted in a nationwide scandal that became known as the 'Planinić Affair'. On many occasions in the years prior, Yugoslav First League had been plagued by rumours of widespread match-fixing, however, this was the first occasion that a player had come forward and substantiated those claims on the record.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Right after Planinić's allegations hit the press, the Yugoslav FA (FSJ) disciplinary body (disciplinski sud) began an investigation into the two matches Planinić claimed were fixed. Its findings were summarized in an internal memo that was later obtained by various Yugoslav press outlets:


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Several days before the fixture, NK Hajduk managing board member Zdravko Arapović made phone contact with Jakov Brdar, an administrator from Zenica, asking him to immediately travel to Sarajevo in order to find someone on the FK Željezničar managing board willing to negotiate a match-fixing deal for the upcoming league fixture between the two teams. As requested, Brdar went to Sarajevo and met up with Ante Dervišević, an FK Željezničar managing board member he knew from before. Since he had no authority to make a decision of this sort, Dervišević referred Brdar to the FK Željezničar club president Nusret Mahić and the two met in club offices where Brdar relayed Zdravko Arapović's offer.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Mahić flatly rejected Arapović's offer, as relayed to him by Brdar, due to its suggestion of a friendly gesture on FK Željezničar's part without any monetary compensation, reacting to it by saying: 'Without money — there will be no deal'. Prodded by Brdar to name the figure he'd expect in return for letting Hajduk win, Mahić responded: 'Two and a half million, at least YUD2.5 million'. Brdar then went to Split to inform Arapović of Mahić's demands.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
The day before the match, right after FK Željezničar's arrival to Split, Arapović met with Ljubomir Nikolić, another member of FK Željezničar's managing board, who was in charge of organizing the club's away trip to Split. On this occasion, Nikolić demanded YUD4 million to throw the match — 2 million in cash and the other 2 million as advertising money for FK Željezničar's newsletter/magazine that Hajduk would line up from Split-based companies. Arapović's response to Nikolić was that he'll get back to him tomorrow on the day of the match as he has to consult with someone.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Right before the match, as the two teams were already conducting warm-ups on the pitch, Arapović invited Nikolić into the office of Hajduk's financial officer where he asked Nikolić to lower the price. After haggling over the amount for some time, Nikolić conceded and agreed on the sum of YUD1.5 million as Željezničar's compensation. At that point, Arapović took YUD1 million in cash from Hajduk's financial officer Ante Vidošević and handed it to Nikolić. According to Vidošević's testimony, this million came from the club's 'black fund' while he obtained the remaining YUD500,000 on the very day of the match from his assistants who were in charge of selling match tickets at the gate.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
As soon as he received the agreed-upon amount of YUD1.5 million, Nikolić went down to the bench in order to inform Željezničar's head coach Vlatko Konjevod that the money had been collected. Konjevod, in turn, went to the touchline and communicated with his players Ivica Osim and Mišo Smajlović via a hand gesture, a previously agreed signal between the three that meant the players should start letting the opponent win.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Right after receiving head coach Konjevod's signal, Osim and Smajlović began intentionally sabotaging their own team's play, which became obvious to all of the protagonists on the pitch to the point of causing a revolt among the rest of Željezničar's squad with Rade Matić even physically accosting Osim during the match over his obvious lack of trying. Hajduk won easily 4-0.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Days earlier, before Željezničar's players and management departed Sarajevo for the away league match versus Hajduk, club president Nusret Mahić instructed the club's managing board member Ljubomir Nikolić how to go about arranging the match-fixing once he arrives in Split and how much money to ask for. Mahić furthermore told Nikolić to give him a phone call once the job is done, which Nikolić did. It has been further determined through Zdravko Arapović's testimony that he acted at the behest of Hajduk's club president Josip Košto and the rest of the club's managing board. Arapović further testified that he also agreed the match-fixing with the head coaches of the two clubs — Željezničar's Konjevod and Hajduk's Milovan Ćirić — with both aware of the amount that was paid out.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
It is also worth noting that Hajduk's managing board members Ivo Mimica, Frane Marković, Ante Vidošević, and Željko Vladović were present when Hajduk's club president Josip Košto instructed Arapović to pay YUD1.5 million to Nikolić. Furthermore, Željezničar's managing board member Edhem Tufo was aware of all the match-fixing details from the very beginning of the deal and he even saw the cash that Nikolić showed him upon receiving it.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Investigation
Taking the money in order to throw the match caused friction and antagonism among the Željezničar squad with certain players demanding a cut from club management during the return trip to Sarajevo. Due to widespread revolt in the team, club president Mahić called a meeting in Sarajevo the day after the match, attempting to explain to his players why the match had been thrown. He talked of "Hajduk's great contributions" as well as of "Hajduk's concessions to Željezničar several years ago". The amount of revolt among the players was reflected in Osim's words to club president Mahić: 'You can demand a lot of things from us players, but this thing that happened in Split — never again'.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Punishment
On 27 August 1965, the Yugoslav FA's disciplinary body (disciplinski sud) presided over by Svetozar Savić handed out the following penalties:


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Punishment
Disciplinary body president Svetozar Savić also announced that the investigation had revealed that Željezničar was paid YUD1.5 million by Hajduk Split, and YUD4 million by Trešnjevka for these matches. Some of the money Trešnjevka paid was obtained from the Zagreb Fair where some of Trešnjevka's board members were employed at. As a reference point, the price of a daily newspaper at the time was YUD40.


1963–64 Yugoslav First League, The Planinić Affair, Appeals
On appeal, the main punishment for the three clubs was reduced to points-deduction. For the 1965-66 season, Željezničar, Hajduk, and Trešnjevka were docked 6, 5, and 5 points, respectively.

1964 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 32nd Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 20 and 21 June 1964. It was also the ninth round of the 1964 World Sportscar Championship season.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans
This year marked the arrival of American teams in force, with Ford V8 engines in ten cars. It also marked the last appearance of Aston Martin and Jaguar for twenty years. Over half the entrants were mid- or rear-engined, and almost half the field had a 3-litre engine or bigger. But the number of retirements due to gearbox and clutch issues from the increased power in the cars was noticeable.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans
Ferrari was the winner for a record fifth year in a row – the 275 P of Nino Vaccarella and former Ferrari-privateer Jean Guichet covered a record distance. The second was the Ferrari of Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier for the British Maranello Concessionaires team, ahead of the works 330 P of John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini. Ferrari dominance of the GT category was broken for the first time however by the new Shelby Cobra of Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant finishing in fourth ahead of two of the Ferrari 250 GTOs.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Regulations
Aside from a few adjustments to the sliding scale of minimum weight to engine capacity, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) made very few changes to its regulations this year. With the greatly disparate speeds, the minimum engine size was increased from 700cc to 1000cc. Otherwise, the final lap now had to be completed in fifteen minutes, down from twenty minutes.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
The ACO received 71 entries and 55 cars arrived to practice, with 10 reserves. There was a strong turn-out from the current Formula 1 drivers, with the notable exception of Jim Clark and Jack Brabham. The proposed entry list comprised:

Defending champions Ferrari again arrived in force, with twelve entrants. To meet the Ford challenge, the factory team bought two new models. The 275 P was the next development of the previous year's race-winning 250 P and the new 3.3-litre V12 developed 320 bhp. Ludovico Scarfiotti, winner of that 1963 race was paired with Mike Parkes, Umberto Maglioli with Giancarlo Baghetti. Stalwart Ferrari privateer Jean Guichet was rewarded with a works drive this year alongside Nino Vaccarella. The team's F1 drivers, John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini, drove the 330 P, a new model for this race.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
The 4.0-litre V12 developed 370 bhp capable of 305 kp/h (190 mph). Ferrari also supplied two 330 P's to their American and British customer teams, the North American Racing Team (NART) for Pedro Rodriguez and Skip Hudson, and Maranello Concessionaires for Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier. There was also a pair of 250 LM models run by the Equipe Nationale Belge and NART.

After a messy and unsuccessful attempt to purchase the Ferrari company (for US$15 million), Ford pledged to build their own sports car to beat the Ferraris. In 1963, Ford had almost won the Indianapolis 500 at its first attempt, with Lotus. Eric Broadley’s Lola had performed well in the 1963 race and was taken on board to work on the new GT design. The resulting GT40 (named for only being 40” high) bore a strong resemblance to the Lola Mk6. The Indianapolis powerplant, a 4.2L aluminium block Fairlane V8 engine developed 350 bhp capable of 340 kp/h (210 mph).


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
The issue had been finding a gearbox robust enough to handle the raw engine power, and the Colotti 5-speed box was chosen. John Wyer, from Aston Martin, was brought on as project manager and three cars were entered for the race. Americans Richie Ginther and Masten Gregory had one car, while Phil Hill was paired up with Kiwi Bruce McLaren and Jo Schlesser drove with Richard Attwood (who had driven the Lola in the 1963 race).


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
Col.   John Simone's Maserati France continued to fly the flag for the manufacturer. In turn, Maserati revised their Tipo 151 giving it fuel-injection and over 400 bhp now making it able to reach 310 kp/h (190 mph). Regular team driver André Simon, still recovering after a testing accident at Monza, was joined by fellow French veteran Maurice Trintignant.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
New entrant Iso brought its new Grifo A3C, designed by Ferrari engineer Giotto Bizzarrini (who had previously designed the 250 GTO). Mounting a small-block, 327 cu in (5.35L), Chevrolet V8, it put out almost 400 bhp.

Porsche moved on from derivatives of the 356 and introduced a new racer, the 904, to counter the new threats from Abarth and Alfa Romeo. However the proposed 200 bhp Flat-6 engine was not ready yet, so the GT cars were fitted with the Flat-4 from the 356 Carrera. Two prototypes were entered using the Flat-8 engine from the concluded Formula 1 program. Putting out 225 bhp made them the fastest ever 2-litre cars at Le Mans, capable of 280 kp/h (175 mph). Regular team drivers Edgar Barth / Herbert Linge were joined by Gerhard Mitter / Colin Davis – who had earlier had a sensational win in the 1964 Targa Florio. The Porsche 2-litres were now being considered “dark horses” for an outright podium place.

If the medium-sized engines were sparse, the small-engine prototype field bulged with variety. Five works teams were contesting the P-1150 class. Charles Deutsch returned with Panhard, after a year away, with the remarkable LM64 CD-3. Made of fibreglass, it had one of the most aerodynamic profiles of any car ever at Le Mans. Deutsch had to supercharge the 864cc Panhard engine (putting out 70 bhp) to meet the new 1000cc minimum engine size, using the x1.4 equivalence formula but that could push the car up to 220 kp/h (137 mph).


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
René Bonnet, the previous year's class winner, returned with five cars including a pair of the victorious Aérodjet LM6s, now with an 1149cc Renault engine. Alpine returned after a tragic debut the previous year. They ran five cars – a mix of the updated M64 and the older M63 variants and running either 1149cc or 1001cc Renault engines.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
The Ferrari 250 GTO had delivered Ferrari the GT victory for four years running. Four customer teams (NART, Maranello Concessionaires, Equipe Nationale Belge and privateer Fernand Tavano) entered the reliable 3-litre thoroughbred, now with new body-styling.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
As well as the Ford GT, Ford engines were also supplied to AC and Sunbeam with varying success. The Shelby Cobras had been very successful in American racing, and for the new year, it was given new aerodynamic bodywork and the bigger 289 cu in (4.7L) Windsor engine. Putting out nearly 400 bhp it was capable of 295 kp/h (180 mph) making it 10 kp/h faster than its Ferrari GTO competition. Four cars were entered: two for Shelby American, and one each for Briggs Cunningham and Ed Hugus. In the end though only two arrived alongside a works-entry Cobra Coupé from AC Cars.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
The Sunbeam Tiger was to be the Rootes Group answer to the AC Cobra. It used the 260cu in (4.3L) Windsor engine from Shelby American. The body was developed from the Alpine with Lister Cars, but being made of steel it was far too heavy. The 275 bhp could only get the car up to 230 kp/h (145 mph).


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
Aston Martin shut down their racing department when John Wyer left to manage the Ford program, selling off the three DP prototypes. Mike Salmon bought one of the DP214s and entered it as a privateer. Similarly, the Jaguar E-Type Lightweights were becoming obsolete and only two privateer entries arrived, from Peter Sargent  and German Peter Lindner.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
The new Porsche 904 had quickly been homologated to the GT-category with the requisite production of 100 cars, most pre-sold for customer orders. Even with only the old Flat-4 engine, it could still reach 260 kp/h (160 mph). Seven cars were entered for the race: aside from the works car there were entries from the new Racing Team Holland of Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema and the Scuderia Filipinetti. Jean Kerguen and Jacques Dewes also gave up their Aston Martin (badly damaged at the previous year's race) for Dewes’ new 904.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Entries
Their only competition in-class was a works MGB entry, driven by British rally ace Paddy Hopkirk. In the GT-1600 class the new Autodelta motorsport division of Alfa Romeo set its first development project to be the Giulia TZ. Now homologated to the GT-category, the uprated 1570cc engine developed 135 bhp with a top speed of 245 kp/h (150 mph). Three cars were entered by the Milanese Scuderia Sant Ambroeus team who had already taken class victories at the Sebring, Targa Florio and Nürburgring races.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Practice
There was strong support at the Test Weekend on 18–19 April with 34 cars present, although the rain limited performance. Ludovico Scarfiotti put up the fastest time, of 3m43.8 in the new Ferrari 275 P, with John Surtees not far behind with 3m45.9 in his 330 P stablemate. A pair of Ford GTs made their first appearance but the results were disappointing. The car was unstable on the straight, with the nose lifting at speed. On the first day, Jo Schlesser had a major accident at the Mulsanne kink after hitting standing water. The door flew off Roy Salvadori’s car, and the next day he also had an accident approaching the Mulsanne corner. Although uninjured, it was enough to convince Salvadori to leave the program.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Practice
The Rover-BRM turbine car was at the April test weekend. But the car suffered damage on the trip back to the factory. This, as well as problems with the new heat-exchanger, meant it was not ready for the race itself.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Practice
By race week, the Fords had got aerodynamic improvements making them much more competitive, including a tail ‘lip’ to reduce rear-end lift. At scrutineering though their fuel-tanks were found to be bigger than the 140-litre limit and displacement blocks had to be added.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Practice
It was John Surtees who took pole position with a new record lap of 3m42.0 in his 330 P at dusk on the last practice. He also slightly damaged the car when he hit a fox coming up to Maison Blanche. Richie Ginther got his Ford into second with a 3m45.3, ahead of Pedro Rodriguez's NART Ferrari (3m.45.5) and Phil Hill's Ford (3m45.9). In fact the two manufacturers took the top nine grid positions. Dan Gurney was 10th in his Shelby Cobra (3m56.1) as the fastest GT car. The Shelby Cobras, along with the Aston Martin, were the only GTs to get under 4-minute laps.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Practice
The Davis/Mitter Porsche was the fastest 2-litre, qualifying 18th (4m02.1) and the Delageneste/Morrogh Alpine was the fastest of the smaller cars with a 4m34.3 (35th). But rally-specialist Pierre Orsini rolled his Alpine at Dunlop curve and broke his ankle.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
The weather was cold but dry for the 4pm start. Just before the start ten spectators were seriously injured when an advertising hoarding they were on collapsed.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
Pedro Rodríguez got the best start with the NART 330 P, with a power-slide and much tyre-noise. His teammate, David Piper's Ferrari, burst an oil-line immediately and left a trail of oil through the Esses to where the car stopped at Tertre Rouge. Phil Hill had trouble starting his GT40, and was last away almost 70 seconds behind. Giancarlo Baghetti bought in his SEFAC Ferrari with a chronic clutch problem, losing 75 minutes and 20 laps straight up. Maurice Trintignant also bought in the Maserati with a lack of power – a sponge was found in an air intake.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
On the second lap with the cars wary of the oil flags, Ginther got a run on the three Ferraris ahead of him and blasted past them on the Mulsanne Straight doing 7200rpm (unofficially nearly 340kp/h). Dropping back the revs to the 6500rpm prescribed by the team, he still managed to pull out a 40-second lead in the first hour covering a record 15 laps. He led the Ferraris of Surtees, Rodriguez, Hill and Guichet. Then came the Cobras of Gurney and Sears, ahead of Attwood's Ford, Barth's Porsche and Tavano's Ferrari GTO rounding out the Top-10. But a bad first pit-stop dropped them to second behind the Surtees Ferrari. Phil Hill had made a half-dozen pit-stops with the troublesome Ford until the cause was traced to a blocked carburettor left uncleaned after an engine change the night before.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
Just on 6pm, Mike Rothschild lost control of his Triumph when overtaken by a Cobra in the Dunlop Curve. Sliding off the road, he just missed a Hudson's NART Ferrari as he rebounded back into the middle of the road. Although knocked unconscious Rothschild only suffered mild concussion.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
By dusk the Maserati had made up its two laps lost at the start and was running in third behind the SEFAC Ferraris. It was then delayed ten laps with ignition problems and retired before midnight with a complete electrical failure. Edgar Barth became the first driver to do a sub-four minute lap in a 2-litre car with his Porsche prototype, an average speed just over 200 kp/h. In the fifth hour, the Rodriguez/Hudson NART 330 P had to retire from 5th when it blew a head gasket.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
The unreliability expected of a new car told as the Ginther/Gregory Ford was put out after 9.30pm with the gearbox only giving first or second gear. Dick Attwood had already retired from 6th when he had to bail out of his Ford when its engine caught fire on the Mulsanne Straight.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
Unusually for mid-summer, it was a bitterly cold night, with occasional patches of mist. Around 10.15pm Peter Bolton's AC Cobra had a tyre blowout (transmission failure)  at Maison Blanche. The car spun and was then collected by the Ferrari of Giancarlo Baghetti. Tragically, the Ferrari (the Cobra)   speared off into the barriers and crushed three young French spectators. James Gilbert, Lionel Yvonnick (both 19) and Jacques Ledoux (17) had been standing in a prohibited area when struck by the Ferrari. Baghetti was uninjured, and Bolton was taken to hospital with minor injuries.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
At midnight the Ferraris were still running 1-2-3, with the Surtees/Bandini 330 P having done 119 laps, a lap ahead of the Vaccarella/Guichet 275 P and 3 laps ahead of the British 330 P of Hill/Bonnier. After alternator problems struck the Cunningham Cobra, their compatriots Gurney and Bondurant inherited their fourth place and heading the GT classes, five laps behind. Fifth, and a further lap back, was the 2-litre Porsche of Barth and Linge benefitting from the bigger cars’ issues, and leading the Index of Performance.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
The Hill/McLaren Ford had pushed its way back up to 6th  In their hard driving Phil Hill set a new lap record of 3m49.2. Soon after midnight the grandstand spectators were stunned when the transmission of José Rosinski's Ferrari GTO just exploded as it roared past the pits. Although bits of the differential peppered Lindner's Jaguar in the pits (getting a driveshaft change) and flew off into the crowd, no-one was seriously injured.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
Then Surtees and Bandini, who had held the lead since the second hour, started having fuel leak problems. Going into the twelfth hour, they were overtaken by the 275 P of teammates Vaccarella and Guichet, alternating the race-lead on the pit-stop cycles. At one point, Briggs Cunningham queried why more than the allowed number of mechanics were working on the car. Earlier Cunningham's Cobra had pitted to fix an alternator. A Ferrari mechanic saw them recharge the battery with a unit in the pits, informed the officials and the car was disqualified. This new accusation ignited an almighty row with team manager Dragoni chasing Cunningham out of the pits. The officials took no action against Bandini's Ferrari.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
At 2.30am the clutch of the leading Porsche broke, stranding Herbert Linge out at Tertre Rouge. Their teammates, Davis/Mitter up in 6th were also suffering clutch problems.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
Just before 4.30am there was a major accident on the front straight: Jean-Louis Marnat was seen slumped at the wheel of his Triumph. He had fallen unconscious from carbon monoxide poisoning after an earlier collision had damaged the exhaust. The car hit the barrier, veered across the track into the pits just missing the Alpine and Bonnet teams and then rolled on until hitting the barriers at the Dunlop curve. It just missed Phil Hill's Ford GT which itself retired around 5.30am with gearbox problems after having got back up to fourth and setting a new lap record.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Morning
Around dawn the big Iso Grifo, which had got up to 9th by halftime pulled in for a long stop to fix seized brakes. They got going again in 21st, and eventually finished 14th. The Lindner Jaguar was back in the pits just before 7am, overheating, but with 10 laps until its next permitted refill it was retired.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Morning
At 7am Surtees lost second place as they took 10 minutes to address their fuel issues. Hill and Bonnier, moving up, were also having niggling problems with the throttle and clutch. Twice they were lucky that problems happened within coasting distance of the pits. After stopping to adjust the gearbox early in the morning the Davis/Mitter Porsche had fallen from 8th back through the field. The clutch finally packed up after 11am.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Morning
By 8am, after 16 hours, Ferraris were in the top four places. Vaccarella/Guichet had done 235 laps, now with a 7-lap lead over Hill/Bonnier and Surtees/Bandini. The Tavano Ferrari was leading the GTs in 4th on 222 laps, with the pursuing Cobra of Gurney/Bondurant and Ferrari GTO of “Beurlys”/Bianchi each a lap further back.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
Once again, with the pressure off the Ferraris could ease back. The Ferrari of Vaccarella and Guichet never missed a beat, gradually extending its lead, in the end winning comfortably by five laps setting a new distance record. It was a good reward for Jean Guichet who had previously finished third (1961) and second (1962) as a GT privateer. Ferrari swept the podium with the British 330 P of Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier second, seven laps ahead of Surtees and Bandini in the works car.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
The Ferrari dominance in the GT-category was broken however. Despite having high engine temperatures through the second day, Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant had a consistent run to bring home the Shelby American Daytona Coupé in fourth, first in the GT category, and a lap ahead of the nearest Ferrari GTOs. Those were the Equipe National Belge car of Bianchi/”Beurlys” and the Maranello car of Ireland/Maggs.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
Porsche had a positive weekend. As well as Barth's lap-record for a 2-litre car, five of the six 904 GTs finished – in 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th led by French privateers Robert Buchet and Guy Ligier. Two of the Alfa Romeos finished, the leading one of Bussinello / Deserti just behind the Porsches and finally beating the class-distance record set by Porsche back in 1958.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
In a race of records, there were five new distance records set in the competing classes, including all three Prototype winners. As in the previous year, the winning Ferrari also won the Index of Performance. Alpine got a 1–2 victory in the Index of Thermal Efficiency, the winners being Delageneste/Morrogh who finished 17th overall.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
1964 proved to be a watershed for a number of manufacturers. Despite his racing success, it was the last time that René Bonnet bought his own cars to Le Mans. In financial trouble he sold his company to the new Matra car company a few months later. Formerly closely tied to Bonnet, It was also the last appearance at Le Mans for Panhard, whose racing pedigree went back to 1895. Although very aerodynamically advanced, the CD-3 never raced again.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
Aston Martin had first raced in 1928, then had been at every race since 1931, including a victory in 1959. Although it briefly returned in 1977 and 1989, it would be 40 years until its reprise in 2005. Likewise Jaguar, so dominant in the 1950s with five victories would not be seen again for 20 years, culminating with two further victories in 1988 and 1990. It was also the last appearance for the Cunningham team. Briggs Cunningham had been the main American presence postwar, bringing his own roadsters to push for outright victory in the 1950s. Now as the American teams started arriving in force, after 11 races the Cunningham team passed the baton on.


1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
Peter Lindner, who had brought his privateer Jaguar to the race, would be killed at the end of the year in that car when he crashed in heavy rain at Montlhéry. Dutchman Jonkheer Carel Godin de Beaufort, stalwart privateer Porsche driver in sports cars and F1 would also be killed later in the year, in practice for the German F1 Grand Prix.

1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak
In 1964, there was an outbreak of typhoid in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. The first two cases were identified on 20 May 1964; eventually over 400 cases were diagnosed and the patients were quarantined at the City Hospital in Urquhart Road, Woodend Hospital in Eday Road, and Tor-na-Dee Hospital in Milltimber which was used as an overflow hospital for typhoid cases. There were three deaths connected with the outbreak. Dr Ian MacQueen, the Medical Officer of Health for Aberdeen, became well known in the media for his twice-daily briefings.


1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak
The outbreak was eventually traced to contaminated tinned corned beef from Rosario, Argentina and sold in the city's branch of the Scottish grocery chain William Low. Pollution from the waters of the Uruguay River  (which flows into the Río de la Plata) appeared to be the source of the contamination, probably through water entering a defective tin through a small puncture. The infected meat then contaminated a meat slicing machine within the William Low shop, leading to the spread of the disease. The bacteria multiplied further in the meats as they were placed near a window and exposed to sunlight.


1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, Aftermath
The reputation of Aberdeen as a safe city to visit, live and work in was briefly harmed by the media coverage of the outbreak. In July 1964, following the end of the outbreak, The Queen made a high-profile visit to boost morale and to help rehabilitate the city's reputation.


1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, Aftermath
An official enquiry and report into the outbreak was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Scotland. The enquiry was headed by Sir David Milne and his published findings became known as the Milne Report.


1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, Aftermath
The reputation of William Low was irrevocably damaged within Aberdeen and the city's store, the source of the outbreak, closed for good three years later. Dundee-based company William Low subsequently opened many other stores around Scotland, but remained absent from Aberdeen. William Low was eventually taken over by Tesco in 1994. Public perceptions of the safety of Fray Bentos tinned meats also contributed to significantly diminished income.


1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, Aftermath
The outbreak was successfully handled, although there were three fatalities confirmed. The outbreak drew attention to the need for better standards of hygiene, notably in the cleaning of food processing machinery. The University of Aberdeen went on to develop an international reputation in the field of disease control, notably in the appointment of Professor Hugh Pennington to the post of Professor of Bacteriology from 1979 until his retirement in 2003.


1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, Aftermath
The typhoid outbreak may have encouraged replacement of traditional laundered roller towels in public toilets, which allowed bacterial cross-infection from person-to-person, by disposable paper towels and warm air hand driers.


1964 Aden Legislative Council election
Elections to the Legislative Council for the State of Aden were held on 16 October 1964.


1964 Aden Legislative Council election, Background
The elections had originally been scheduled for 1962 but after being postponed, they took place amid widespread unrest; political detentions were common and public meetings were banned. The major political parties, including the People's Socialist Party (PSP), all boycotted the elections.


1964 Aden Legislative Council election, Background
A total of 48 candidates contested the 16 elected seats.


1964 Aden Legislative Council election, Results
Despite the boycott, voter turnout was 76%. A man imprisoned in the 1963 airport grenade attack against the British delegation received 98% of the vote in Crater, and 14 of the other 16 elected council members successfully demanded that he be released from prison and seated on the council. Zain Baharoon initially continued as Chief Minister, but was replaced by the PSP's Abdulqawi Makkawi in March 1965.


1964 Afghan Constitutional Assembly election
Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Afghanistan in 1964. The Assembly produced the 1964 constitution, which introduced women's suffrage.


1964 Afghan Constitutional Assembly election
In March 1963 King Mohammed Zahir Shah asked Prime Minister Mohammed Daoud Khan to resign due to the Pashtunistan dispute, which strained Afghanistan–Pakistan relations. Two weeks later, Zahir Shah appointed a commission to write a new constitution.

The new constitution barred members of the royal family (with the exception of the monarch) from involvement in politics, a clause that was viewed as aiming to bar Daoud Khan from returning to office. It provided for a bicameral parliament, introducing women's suffrage and giving women the right to stand for office. An independent judiciary was introduced, with sharia law was to be used where no government law existed.
