Check out this great YouTube video of the 6-Hour 'BOAC 500' World Sports Car Championship race (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMTXezcAJto)at Brands Hatch in July 1967.

The 'Kiwi Trio' were all racing - Denny Hulme (with Jack Brabham in the #4 Lola T70 MkIII); Chris Amon (with Jackie Stewart in a Ferrari P4); and Bruce McLaren (with Jo Siffert in a Porsche 910).

Unfortunately Hulme was forced to retire with a suspected bent valve, but Amon went on to finish 2nd, and McLaren 3rd.

Phil Hill & Mike Spence won in their bewinged 7.0 litre Chaparral 2F (with its automatic transmission).
