Phil Hill was driving a camera car again, but as this was a McLaren M3A it was no more a part of the race than a pace car so is excluded here. This car, with camera platforms in front of the nose and above the left-hand rear wheel, wore #28 during practice. The Chamaco Collect BRM P261 was entered and practiced as #8, but was repainted and renumbered #24 for the race so that MGM could use it to take the place of Bruce McLaren's McLaren M2B, which was unable to start. Lotus and Eagle joined the list of marques to have produced cars for the 3-litre Formula 1.
