There were two entries from each of Tyrrell, Lotus, McLaren, March and Williams; three each from BRM, Ferrari, Surtees and Brabham; and one each from Matra and Tecno. The five privateers were the stockbroker March, Eifelland and Dave Charlton. The total was 27 again. The Connew was present but was not an accepted entry, but the third Ferrari made up for it. The only spare cars were Tyrrell 004, Fittipaldi's Lotus 72, Beltoise' BRM P160, Amon's Matra MS120C which remained in the paddock, and Peterson's spare March which remained in the truck. The McLaren M19A crashed in France had not yet been replaced. MN got all the BRM P160 chassis numbers wrong here but issued a correction in its Austrian GP report. Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was replaced by Team Yardley McLaren from this race as the entrant of the McLarens.
