The 1970 Dutch Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Zandvoort on June 21, 1970. The race was won by Lotus-Ford driver Jochen Rindt in his new monocoque-chassis Type 72, which had only raced twice before (but in a different spec); and this came 3 years after the 72's predecessor; the tubular-chassis Type 49 won in 1967 won first time out at the exact same track with the late Jim Clark driving. The race however was marred by the fatal accident of British driver Piers Courage driving the Frank Williams-entered De Tomaso-Ford.
