Sport Auto Mars 1974 pp16-27 (by Gérard Crombac). L'Automobile No 334 Mars 1974 p61-70 (by Bernard Cahier). Autocourse 1974/75 (edited by Mike Kettlewell) reproduced Pete Lyons' reports from Autosport, so included very little information that had not already been published. Bernard Cahier's report for L'Automobile was very detailed.

The entries were exactly as in Argentina, except that von Opel and the Ensign were missing: two cars from each of the F1 Association members Lotus, Tyrrell, Brabham, March, Ferrari, Shadow and Surtees; three from each of McLaren and BRM, and a single entry from Williams. The non-members were Embassy Racing with two Lolas, Hesketh Racing and Hexagon. There were two spare cars: a McLaren M23 and a Brabham BT42. Scheckter's Tyrrell had its torsion bar rear suspension again. Jarier's Shadow DN1 had been rebuilt on a replacement monocoque flown out from England, and Hill had swapped cars with Edwards.
