Another image found with further indication this was from the Dutch GP at Zandvoort (Photo labelled as being the 1975 Dutch GP). I also looked up the Motorsport Magazine report of the race and it confirms Jarier spun into the barriers trying to keep with Lauda who had just passed him for 2nd place. He suffered a puncture which led to the excursion.

https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/arch ... rix-reportAt 30 laps Hunt had an eight-second lead from his pursuers, but Lauda had the Shadow in his sights and Jarier was beginning to look in his mirrors as much as he was looking forwards. Fraction by fraction Hunt’s lead was being whittled away, but he had no intention of giving up, and when it was down to five seconds Lauda was ready to take second place from Jarier, but the Frenchman had other ideas. The only way to pass an equal car at Zandvoort is to out-brake it past the pits into the long 180-degree Tarzan bend, diving through on the inside and forcing your rival to run wide up the banked turn. As they started lap 39 Lauda did exactly this, except that Jarier was not accepting the manoeuvre and stuck to his line, so that Lauda had to do some desperate braking and scrabbling about to avoid being run into. Twice more Lauda tried it on and twice more Jarier was unimpressed and the order was unchanged. This little fracas took the pressure off Hunt for a brief moment, and for a couple of laps Lauda sat close behind Jarier wondering what to do about the situation. As they came down the straight to complete lap 43 the Ferrari was that much closer to the Shadow and while still on full song Lauda pulled out of the Shadow’s slipstream and side-by-side they went past the pits. This time Jarier had no option but to run wide and Lauda was by, but it was a tense moment, and Grand Prix racing at its best. Now Lauda could really get to work and catch the fleeing Hunt. Almost unnoticed Emerson Fittipaldi had retired when his Cosworth engine blew up and Watson had succumbed to vibrations that were shaking the back of his Surtees to bits. For one lap Jarier followed Lauda, holding third place, and then made a spectacular disappearance from the race when a rear tyre literally exploded in a shower of bits of rubber. This was on a fast right-hand bend and the Shadow driver was very lucky not to be hit by other cars as he spun out of control.
