1967 German Grand Prix

The 1967 German Grand Prix was a motor race for both Formula One (F1) and Formula Two (F2) cars held at the Nürburgring on 6 August 1967. It was race 7 of 11 in both the 1967 World Championship of Drivers and the 1967 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers as well a non-Championship race of the 1967 European Formula Two Championship. The 15-lap race was won by Brabham driver Denny Hulme after he started from second position. His teammate Jack Brabham finished second and Ferrari driver Chris Amon came in third.

There had been some changes to the track in an attempt to slow the cars down as they approached the pit area. However, it was clear that the cars had developed considerably over 12 months, so the changes had very little effect on the lap times.

Report

Entry

A total of 16 F1 cars were entered for the event, down from 21 in the preceding British GP. As in earlier years, and in the 1966 event, there was also a field of F2 cars with 1600cc engines, 10 this time. Amongst the F2 drivers were a number of future stars, including Jacky Ickx and Jo Schlesser in their Matras. Among the field were two wooden-chassis Protos. Apart from the F2 entries, the F1 field was much as usual except for a second Lola-BMW for Hubert Hahne. A F2 chassis, but with a 2-litre 16 valve BMW engine as in the BMW 2000 TI touring car that Hahne was racing successfully, thus entered as a F1 car.
