The 1963 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Nürburgring on 4 August 1963.

Jim Clark finished second for the Lotus team and BRM driver Richie Ginther came in third.

Behind him Lorenzo Bandini spun in front of Innes Ireland who collected him, Willy Mairesse had an accident, and Chris Amon sustained a knee injury when the steering broke, catapulting him into the trees.

When Clark's engine went down to just 7 cylinders, Surtees was able to pass him easily to lead him home to take his first F1 victory.

Gerhard Mitter finished in a superb fourth place in his home race from Jim Hall and Jo Bonnier.
