These 1966 to 1985 results were initially compiled by Allen Brown, but these were in the very basic form required to track individual car histories. Since then further details, such as laps completed, qualifying times and so on, have been added from Rob Ryder's extensive database.

Autosport 7 Oct 1966 p595-599. Motor Sport November 1966 p1022,1024-1035. Motoring News 6 Oct 1966 p1,8-9,16. Whether Moises Solana's entry was sufficiently official to be included here is open to debate. Motor Sport mentioned there being no car for Solana, but did not include him as a blank line in the table of practice times, as would have been done at othr races. The number #21 is from from A Record of Grand Prix and Voiturette Racing, Volume 8 1965-1969 (Paul Sheldon and Duncan Rabagliati of the Formula One Register, St Leonards Press, 1994).
