There was also a class for Formula Two cars in this race, which was won by Lotus driver Mike Spence after the two cars in front of him retired on the last lap; Brian Hart suffering a driveshaft failure and Alan Rees running out of fuel.
This was the last occasion on which the BARC 200 was held at Aintree, and the last occasion on which it was run as a Formula One race.
